Melbourne band Taxiride are back and better then ever. With a follow up almost two years after their first debut album Imaginate. Garage Mahal within its first week of release is already in the top 10 and is getting set to make another debut at number 1! A little more grungier and heavier then their first album Taxiride are set to make it big this second time around. Already I am amazed with the amount of publicity the guys are getting, I think a change of management certainly helped them. Since 1999 we have seen a member lost and two members gained. Dan Hall (ex bass, guitar, singer, songwriter) has now moved onto the solo scene and is rumoured to be releasing something (hopefully in the not too distant future). with their first single Creeping Up Slowly beyond release and radio stations going crazy with the rides' new image, its currently at the 8th position in the charts.
Their second single How I Got This Way is all ready to go according to Jason. "We've shot the film clip and now all we are waiting for is for the radio stations to stop playing Creeping' Up Slowly!" It was released Monday 9th September. We have also seen the arrival of two new permanent members that the been touring with the boys, the drummer Sean and bassist Andy. although they have been with the guys from the beginning, we are now seeing them as regulars to all the guys performances. I managed to chat to the two guys at Taxiride's promotion gig at Garden City.
Anyway as far as the website goes,
its been pretty dead for the last year as to my knowledge, no major touring has
been happening in 2001. Since the guys are back in action so am I. I will try to do my
best to keep everyone up to date with what's going on and all. also keep an eye
out for the wonderful fansities that are ever popping up. You can check some of
these out by clicking 'list' below on the site ring, I highly recommend you take
a look if you haven't already. Dont forget to vote for [T H E G A R A G E]

Happy ridin' luv Jen
