Tanakrock (Biblical Rock)

I just came across a notation of a group
Tanakrock which has done works on David and Esther.
(Perhaps I saw the reference in a George Robinson Jewish Week
article.) I guess that this would fall somewhere in the realm of rock
music used to tell stories from the Tanakh (Hebrew Scriptures).
"Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" comes to mind.
(Perhaps "Godspell" by our "Prince of Egypt" guy, Stephen Schwartz,
was a trendsetter here.)
In any case, I can find no information about them on the WWW.
Does anyone know about them? Have their works been recorded? If so,
are they available? Are there plans for recordings? Does anyone want
to mention other similar projects?
