NYC Year End Poll – ALT ROCK Submission: Black Taxi at #2

If you haven’t seen Black Taxi live yet, then think about all the time you spent watching crappy films last year… for your own good, this band is here to show you a way out of this mess. This group belongs to an oft-ignored genre of music known as ‘Punchy Cinematic Rock,’ and seeing the band live is like watching performance art, a jukebox musical, and every single Nicholas Cage movie at once (so you don’t have to). In other words, this band isn’t afraid to try everything and get caught in the act looking good in tight costumes. Their new record ‘We Don’t Know Any Better‘ covers territories from punk, to 4 on floor dance, to orchestral synth pop jazz… whatever that is. Check out 2nd single ‘Hand’ (streaming below) from new record ‘We Don’t Know Any Better’ to get a feel for what you’ve been missing in their new POV video, and see the band yourself when they play at Public Assembly on Saturday, Jan 26th. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
