Title: Moon Taxi
Post by: ajclements004 on Jun 09, 2014, 04:56 AM
Moon Taxi kicks ass.  If you have not seen/heard them, you're in for a treat.  One of the best touring bands playing right now.  Even after 10+ times seeing this band, every time I hear them play something they didn't play the last time that blows my mind to shreds.  :thumbsup:

Drummers mother was my math teacher in high school. They weren't really big then. They've grown a lot in the past 4 years. Never really gave em a chance. Which album should I start with? I have the album Melodica already.

I enjoyed Moon Taxi a lot when I saw them at Forecastle a couple years ago. Cabaret is a good record, but so far I have not thought much of Mountains Beaches Cities. Looking forward to seeing them again, they put on a great show.

Start with these two.

Their studio records are decent.  I was not too into Mountains Beaches Cities when it first came out, but after seeing them play those songs live a few times I really started to enjoy them more.  But they've gotten a lot better since Forecastle a few years ago as I was at that show and the Forecastle show from 2013.

As I recall, Crispy, we were sharing a blanket listening to them at Forecastle, or at least talking about how much we liked them.
