And YO the reason for all the guitars is because all the members sing and contribute vocals: hence the awesome vocal harmonies. Would you just want to stand up on stage and do backing vocals when you could have a guitar to play as well and look even cooler? I think not!
I was 7 when this was released. It was my favourite song :) My mum used to sing me to sleep with this song :) It's a shame that they stopped around this era. :s
@madchelle He's doing good stuff in Melbourne. Playing in a few bands and producing. He produced the vocals for me on my latest album and did some BVs too - such a gem to work with.
what ever happen to them ? great band like that should of been in a tv series sound track like ( friends ) . it actually sounds like its ment to be in something like that , dont you think !
I put taxiride to an u[load now WMG wanna play copyright.well suck golf balls .They dont get much airtime cause of your stingy advertising -WMG.this gives them the minutes in audio space.
I found this CD in a thrift store for $1 (in the US). I never imagined that it would be this good! Now I have another one of their CDs and I love the music more and more every time I hear it. Just wonderful!
i was at a pub in south melboune last night and this guy was doing songs on the acoustic... and he told me he was 1 of the guitarists from taxi ride... its really him, not bad
lol i saw them in concert at aj2007 in elmore, victoria, n well closin ceremony n me n a couple of friends met em after evry1 left cause of there curfew n well we had a curfew of like 12am so we gt 2 meet taxiride so yer
When I was eight, roughly... I saw Taxiride at Rumba (it was an all ages event and I was with my parents and brother), Sean, Tim Wild and Jason were all walking past where we were sitting. Everyone was asking for autographs and stuff and I kind of called out but their security guard kept pushing them through... then Sean came running back and signed my Harry Potter diary... he kissed me on the cheek. I thought I was the coolest kid ever...
PS Art should be NEW and sound NEW. Despite the "dangerous" hairdo, this "Taxiride" band takes no risk. ART is NEW. climb out of your box, boys. Digital recording costs little to achieve. Let's make some SOUNDS
not new as in chronology, new as in not having been done before, new as in original. a new idea is like a stone thrown into water. there are then many circles from the original splash. many copy the original rock thrown into the water. as the circles are farther away the are weaker. basic physics or is it metaphysics when applied to art?
not always the easiest thing to make sumthing new when it comes to Music new songs yes, change of genre (but then that can be a huge failing point for a band)
those who take no risk are often motivated by a dream of commercial success. there is music out there where the motivation is to create art. there are new art forms if you look for them. i suggest looking up pop artist "yelle." Also "fatal bazooka," "daft punk" and "tj tiesto" has a sound of his own. Certainly view Rammstein "America" with english lyrics. Certain to delight and entertain. Many belive Apollo was a media scam. Rammstein brilliantly delivers this message. Art must be for the good.
ummm this is kind of lame, pop music not new. (these poor American kids. they were raised under George Bush, they have hardly any culture) I was looking up Remind me by Royksopp, if you want to clear your palette, come join me. It is a really good song. Take care.
They were really getting it right with this song...maybe they did catch alot of cabs.Obvious, get the gig & create a band that can really play....then..oh yes! taxiride. It was all put together....great stuff! Easy...5 stars *****
I saw these guys live last nite and they were freaking awesome! Jason singh's voice was incredible...and the songs were so diverse! Rock here, blues there, soul, even some dance music! Never thought they'd be THAT good!
i think the blonde guy is just misunderstood, he is just attempting mass appeal by not isolating his best mates in commercial road, where the song, like him, is on high rotation! Power to the 'rainbow' brother!
The blond guy is kinda freaking me out. The static from the television probably wasnt necessary, but I like the song. Btw WTF was with the robot? He was trying to talk to her via it? Should have used a PHONE or didnt they have those in 1999. Im pretty sure they did. Hes SINGING INTO a phone for gods sake, DIAL!!!!!!!

I got a -1 for saying the video, the band, and the plump girl who plays the lead sucks. Hooray! I mean, come on - this is totally reminiscent of that BBC Office faux video, except the actors had talent. The band sucks and everything about the video is awful. I'm inspired to make a worst videos ever list - because, frankly, it hurts that I got a minus one. I deserve so much more - -3, -5, -7...as long as it's a prime number, we're cool.
wtf? I'm a red blooded Australian male and I say she looks gorgeous. In fact, I haven't seen many girls in my life who look as good as her, and believe me, I've looked. You talk like you've got an agenda. Or maybe you're a comedian.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Why did they choose the main girl? She's so non-compelling and neither pretty nor ugly nor memorable. The video was cliche to begin with, but a beautiful girl with acting ability could have upped it several notches.
dunno, but "get set" is a bit too repetetive and monotonous for me and "creeping up slowly" is a bit harder. This one's more laidback and I like waking up to this song.
@precednik - what are you talking about?! If you don´t like them you can say it like that and do not affront them! Is that your level? Seems to be poor! @deupleix: I like them so much! Great music! Not everyone has this good taste of music! ;0))
