“A new artist on the rise” – NPR
“Our new favorite band” – MTV
“Nashville rockers unleash similar guitar funk, with Kings of Leon-ish Southern strut.” – Entertainment Weekly
“Moon Taxi has been one of Nashville’s best kept secrets since its formation in 2006…the band combined its jam-band ethos with the newfound radio friendly pop.” – American Songwriter
“They’re exploring, or rather, evolving: becoming a little less jammy, a little more pop, but more ambitious and still founded in their Southern roots.” – Esquire
Moon Taxi teams with BitTorrent Bundle to promote their biggest national tour to date, the ‘Animal Style Tour’ as part of Live Nation’s Ones to Watch with Skype. Starting on September 5th, together Moon Taxi and BitTorrent are offering fans an exclusive new Live From Austin EP (available as download when you enter an email address), plus a deluxe collection of digital content from the five-piece’s current LP release Mountains Beaches Cities and previous album Cabaret.
Captivating a much wider audience these days as PasteMagazine.com states, “Moon Taxi has had another landmark year, appearing on bigger and bigger stages” they garnered debut performances on the Late Show with David Letterman, CONAN, WNYC Soundcheck, USA Today’s Studio A and more. Their single “The New Black” appeared in a few TV spots, including BMW’s national TV ad campaign, which launched during the Sochi 2014 Olympics.
