Colorado’s Jesus Christ Taxi Driver announce their God Gave Us Wheelz For A Reazon Tour.
Kicking off with a hometown show in Denver on June 24, the dates will run through early July with the back to back chaos the band is known for. See all upcoming dates here and below.
Last month, JCTD released their second album, Taxi The Rich, via Midtopia. Rapturously irreverent, politically pointed, religiously disoriented, and existentially uncertain, the suite of songs’ ethos is pure rock ‘n’ roll, but the sound sure isn’t. Taking cues from garage punk, funk, surf rock, twang and even power pop, JCTD assembles an unlikely thematic cast of characters on Taxi The Rich including serial killers, Lana Del Rey, Jeffrey Epstein and more. Finding their home under the lounge punk umbrella, absolutely nothing, including jazz flute, is off the table — Stream.
The band shared that, “‘Taxi the Rich’ is a worried perspective of our current time. The album’s subject matter looks at the world from afar and from up close, even looks within and into the past. We wonder how we got here, we recite mantras to ease the fear, and sometimes we play our instruments loud to show our teeth.”
