This Friday, July 12 Brooklyn’s Black Taxi will be putting on a heck of a homecoming show – as riveting, energetic, and raucous as they got us used to. After a tour that took them down the east coast, through the south and back, the dance-groove driven rock quartet headlines Bowery Ballroom. Earlier this year, the band spent two months in Austin writing and recording new material and emerged with their newest single, “House on Fire” (streming below). Also joining Friday’s party are Albany’s soul-tinged rock ‘n rollers, The Wild Adriatic, and Austin’s folksy-pop trio, Marmalakes. – Meijin Bruttomesso
