BLACK TAXI

Fully formed in 2007, BLACK TAXI is recognized
as much for their wide-ranging musical
influences and backgrounds as they are for their
animated stage performance. Dance-Punk and
Big-Wave dominate the foursome's Grit-Pop
sound. On their first full-length release, 2009's
Things of That Nature, they corrupt the
traditional rock and roll line up of drums, bass,
and guitar with all manner of percussion,
glockenspiel, brass arrangements, and distorted
Fender Rhodes. Thick harmonies collide with
spitfire guitar licks in songs that hint at The
Clash, Cake, and Daft Punk, but are driven by
something entirely new and infectious.
