Taxi Doll is the innovative band whose musical popularity is rapidly growing among audiences hungry for a blend of traditional pop rock and cutting edge electronic music.

Named after the iconic bobble-head dolls often seen perched on the rear dash of taxicabs, the band draws its inspiration from such eclectic sources as Garbage, The Chemical Brothers and Blondie. The band has self-labeled the genre “Rocktronica," and according to producer and member Gregg Allen, “play edgy rock music that people can dance to.” Grassroots critics agree with online journo Michael Walls dubbing the vocals “ultra-sexy” and the band’s performances “crowd pleasing.”
And it all results from a heady fusion of ideas, individuals, and ingredients that is electrifying both onstage and in the studio…

Ingredient One: Dhana, whose UK origins, classical and contemporary vocal training and multi-cultural background (including Spanish and German lineage) blend into a unique and compelling sound that coolly winds around notes like a freeway interchange at dawn. Her range and style allow her to be playful and sensual with her lyrics and performance. At the same time her voice resonates with heart-throbbing power that electrifies the kinetic energy of all listeners.

Ingredient Two: Gregg, whose musical savvy is combined with a marketing sensibility cultivated through years of experience at Astralwerks/Virgin, where he worked with the pioneers of dance music: Fatboy Slim, The Chemical Brothers, The Basement Jaxx, and other groundbreaking talents. “Those projects changed everything for me,” he enthuses. “The sounds were bigger and more exciting than anything I’d ever heard before, and I could see the astounding impact it had on people.”

Ingredient Three: Jason, the seasoned LA drummer who’s played with a variety of bands in Los Angeles and performed nationally on tour. Jason’s credits include playing with artists such as Emerson Hart of Tonic; the award winning Indie band My Sister Amazing; Orange County’s Moisture -- appearing on Jimmy Iovine’s Farm Club USA Channel TV Show; and touring nationally with KCRW darling Supreme Beings of Leisure.

Ingredient Four: Bassist, Brian Hendrix, has the coolest name in the band. From Stage to Studio Brian has mastered almost every genre of music giving a unique approach to his style. Brian has worked with a number of high profile projects and producers including Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Hoobastank) and pop princess/producer Meredith Brooks.

Ingredient Five: Matt Emmer, guitarist, since he moved to LA he has worked with Jim Wirt (Incubust, Hoobastank, Fiona Apple), John Ingoldsby (Elton John), Sasha Kristov (Vanessa Carlton, New Radicals, Billy Idol) and Devon Bronson (Avril, Kelly Osborne).

History and Credits
Gregg and Dhana met through mutual producer friends who saw the potential synchronicity in the pairing of these two talents, each of whom is fueled by a desire and vision for creating a unique style of rock/dance. Immediately after the first song was written, the band was formed and the Taxi Doll vision was realized.

Since they started the project, Taxi Doll has placed songs with Warner Bros/Harrison Ford’s “Firewall”, the WB Network’s TV show “Veronica Mars”, with MTV’s “Laguna Beach”, the Bravo Channel’s “Project Runway” & “Queer Eye For The Straight Girl”, and Miramax’s “Shall We Dance” and “The Aviator DVD.”

They have completed their music video “Waiting” and the remix has charted at #4 on the Billboard Dance Radio Airplay chart & #23 on the Billboard Dance Club Play chart.

So get in, buckle up, and let Taxi Doll take you for a ride!

    This album is awesome! I heard only parts of some of these songs on a show called "Veronica Mars", and I gotta say... just those got me hooked on their music. I love all the songs; I can't get enough of 'em. Taxi Doll rules!!!

  • Love it
    author: Tom R

    I agree I'm anxious to hear more. A note about my purchase - not only does it ship quick, it arrives quick. I think I had the CD ripped to my iPod within 48 hours of my order. Great service, great sounds.

  • Can't wait for the full length album!
    author: CC from Accident Hash Podcast

    The instant I heard this CD I fell in love with it. It's got the same edge and vibe as Garbage but with a little more groove to it that makes it just shy of perfect. Everything about this CD screams "a good time." I'm eagerly awaiting a full length album!

  • Go Toksin!
    author: Drew

    This CD is great. The band is very Garbage-esque in terms of rock and electronic music mixing. Of course the Toksin mix is one of the best remixes of the year!

  • Only 1 Complaint!
    author: Jenn

    The only complaint I have about this cd is that it's only 8 tracks long. I can't wait to hear more from this band! The cd is fantastic, an instant favorite of mine.

  • This is cd is frigging awesome!
    author: Jeff Adams

    Get this cd! They will be huge in 2005!
