Taxi Taxi is the brainchild of musician and producer Terence Bernardo. The band met in a taxi carpool during the New York City transit strike of 2005. During the fateful ride through the morning rush hour they discovered a shared affinity for the music of Stax Records and artists such as ESG, Harry Nillson and Big Star. Within a month, the newfound friends were rehearsing off-hours in Bernardo's Brooklyn studio and recording what would become their first record
As Terence's songs took shape, it became evident that his writing largely concerned a particular period for him in New York. The group continued to record in spurts throughout the city and in Kid Koala's studio in Montreal, Canada. In 2006, the band began performing regularly in New York venues such as the Mercury Lounge, Southpaw and Cakeshop.
With roots firmly planted in strong songwriting and inventive production, Taxi Taxi's sound defies easy classification. The band serves up tunes that are by turns rocky and melancholic, experimental and nostalgic. When not working on his own music Terence works as a producer, mixer and sound designer.
