After a banner year in 2014, the Brooklyn-based band Black Taxi are ready to ring in the new year in style. The four-piece ensemble released Electroshock Death Grip, the latest of their three full-length albums, in September to greatly positive reviews. The record’s punk and pop vibes are instantly noticeable, stemming from their heavy influences of David Bowie and the Talking Heads. You can catch Black Taxi performing on Dec. 31 at Mercury Lounge in New York.
