Description
"Fresh and laugh-out-loud funny. Locust Street Taxi is musically and rhythmically sophisticated but without a hint of pretension. Very spontaneous, very northwest." - Nancy Kenkel of Harlequin Productions
Too many bands these days want to be serious rock stars and they forget about the creative and fun side of music. You know the type - bands that spend more time refining their image than writing their songs. Locust Street Taxi takes the approach of, "let's write a song about love that includes butterflies, mandolins and jello."
Then they do it. Just have a listen and you'll understand how this band works. No two songs are the same. In fact, Locust Street Taxi boasts no less than three lead singers. This gives you a variety that is somewhat Beatlesque and is getting more and more rare these days.
But that's not all. Two of the lead singers are also hot horn players and combine their crazy trumpet and trombone chops to the mix to make for an even more eclectic, fresh and fun sound. Blend in old school vocal harmonies, conga beats, and a great all-around rhythm section to complete the flavor.
*Listen to the bass line on the song "Rain" to get a feel for the creative input that each instrument contributes.
*Keep an ear out for the sudden switch from ska style frenzy to sultry lounge style swing in the song "Love" to see how the band changes genre in mid-song.
*Listen to "Ahhh" for classic three part harmonies and a unique voice in this ballad concerning happiness, health and wealth.
Finally, order your copy of "Shut Up...the Grownups are Talking" today and let Locust Street Taxi inject some dorky, light-hearted fun and some refreshing music into what is surely your otherwise serious and ordinary life.
