Sounds like Terence Bernardo can't make up his mind. "Do I do a gritty, urban groove thing, or a slow piano jam?" Lucky for us he's undecided. He's given us both and sure enough there's plenty more on Taxi Taxi's debut, Maps and Legends . The variegated styles of Taxi Taxi are a sort of tribute to Bernardo's kaleidoscopic, adopted hometown of New York City and his friends there who define the city and helped record the album. But music-heads from East to Left Coast will find something to love on Maps and Legends . From the Liquid [...]
I appreciate a band with a good back story but when they have a great sound to accompany how they came about it only makes things better. For instance, Taxi Taxi was spontaneously created in 2005 when musician and producer Terence Bernardo happened to one day share a cab with a few talented people who inadvertently loved many of the same artists. Now, many years after that fateful day, the quintet from Brooklyn, New York have released their incredibly diverse debut full length, Maps & Legends. The disc has already secured a spot on my list of [...]

Their first release is coming this spring and I'm really excited about it. Guitar, vocals, maybe a bit piano, a slice of drum machine. That's all you need. Here's some "to hide this way" bossanova while waiting for the ep. myspace Taxi, Taxi! - To hide this way (Elias Grinds Bossanova remix)
På lørdag er det lidt ligesom på Roskilde Festival sidste år, hvor Sigur Rós og Guns N' Roses skulle spille på samme tidspunkt. Her måtte man vælge et musikalsk standpunkt, og den koncert man nu valgte at tage til, fortalte vildt meget om ens musiksmag.. der var lidt versus over det, sådan: det følsomme vs. det seje, det smukke vs. det rockede - god stil vs. dårlig stil etc. (Guns N' Roses = dåårlig stil ) eeej. På lørdag er der sådan lidt Soundvenue release-party vs. Rumraket og Rump Recordings -aften [...]

TAXI, TAXI! There's something about that picture that says a lot about Taxi, Taxi. If the people in the photograph were of the same age (17) but male, you could almost be positive that their music would be rubbish. Maybe they'd make boring bedsit strums about losing women and living in a lonely bedsit. But no, thankfully! They are two Swedish girls - identical twin sisters - and their songs are as well-crafted and beautiful as any output you'd expect from pretty girls who slave [...]

[ Today I have the pleasure of introducing a new contributor to this website, Koren Zailckas. Leaping from a day job that includes introductory language peppered with "New York Times," "list," "author," and "best selling," Koren accepted an invite to log time at Merry Swankster.com and we can't believe she fell for it. The accomplished author crosses the print media border to provide a welcome female voice to MS.com. With all our coverage of chicas in rock one cannot be faulted for thinking the feminine touch has always been part of the Merry Swankster world (they tell [...]
