Solar Taxi @ The Forum

Wednesday, 13th June 2012

Word is beginning to spread about the brilliant SOLAR TAXI:

"Infectious, thumping & glorious, with a start as strong as this we can't wait to hear where they go"

The Star

"Upbeat disco-era Blondie style tunes, with the phenomenal vocal talents of Aisling Browne at the centre, sounding like a young Aretha Franklin. Their EP 'She Dies With Beautiful Teeth' is being championed by 2FM's Jenny Greene and excellent it is too.."

The Sun

"Featuring the sexy flame-haired, guitar-toting, Aisling Browne on vocals, Waterford quartet Solar Taxi cut a fine line between uptown Brooklyn electro funk and downtown scuzz rock. They are gathering momentum as the hottest thing on the Waterford scene since O Emperor shot out of the traps.

Their much anticipated debut album 'Broken Brother's Secret Bells' will follow later in the year.
