Taxi Violence is a South African rock band from Cape Town.Early in 2006, the front covers of South Africa’s daily entertainment newspapers throughout three different cities announced the arrival of “The next BIG things!”. It was with a sense of uncanny prophecy, for in the months that followed, Taxi Violence would – through sheer dedication and solid musicianship – rise from relative local obscurity to being a band in national demand.
Taxi Violence have traveled a long and independent road to proving themselves as one of the best live rock bands in South Africa. Their sound can be described as alternative retro rock, with a pinch of sleaze and bourbon.
