Astral Taxi has experienced many highs and lows in it's sustained and colourful history. Starting as a humble three piece acoustic and developing into a five piece hard rock act, Astral Taxi has now evolved it's sound into electro club rock.
Having played hundreds of gigs from prisons to bordellos, Astral Taxi have their fair share of tales to tell.
From the death of close friends on the way to a show, to abductions, to a band member imprisonment, we feel it's our turn to tell it like it is.
Powerful, melodic and innovative are the three things that sum up Astral Taxi.
Astral Taxi combine modern beats and loops with a variation of guitar flavours. Add a killer vocal melody guaranteed to attract a wide musical audience.
The band has experienced media success including short films, mainstream television and radio as well as the musical press, internet coverage and compilation albums. They have worked with some excellent producers including Jeff Cripps from A# studio's and Jay Dee from Unity Gain studio's.
Those who have heard Astral Taxi's fourth album, "Leave nothing untouched" instantly realise that the vocal ability of Christine Michell blows you away with the thought that this girl needs to be on the world stage.
