Jesus Christ Taxi Driver w/ Apocalipstick

Wednesday, September 23 // Doors at 7:00 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $12 // $15-$20 Artist Supporter   Somewhere between the violent rock and roll of Jon Spencer, the sophisticated rhythms of Ali Farka Toure, and the religious disorientation of Jean Meslier, Jesus Christ Taxi Driver makes joyfully irreverent noise. Taking aim at daily banal agonies, and existential uncertainty, the moods shift from meditative to unhinged. The music takes risks. Formed in 2022 on Colorado’s front range, they’ve been bringing their wildly disruptive live shows to venues across the mountain west at an incredible pace. Keep an eye on their schedule to see where they are playing near you, and for their debut LP “Lick My Soul”. Bandcamp   Apocalipstick is a relatively new art punk band from Missoula, Montana. They incorporate a myriad of styles into our sound such as new wave, glam, blues, and even a little country twang. They love performing and we try to put as much energy as humanly possible into our live shows. Bandcamp

The band can be goin’ or Asa can be solo, but the lyrics are always just as good. Damn good family band country music, come y’all! @sculpdog    The River Ramblers are Grassroots Bluegrass revival out of Missoula, bringing a classic sound and soaring harmonies with powerful instrumentals, bringing you to a time where connection and music are one. @theriverramblers   Carter Frech @carterfrenchvincenzo   Poster by Carly Zyskowski (@dreamyeyedpaints)
