Taxiride’s debut album Imaginate went double platinum and spawned the top 10 hits “Get Set” and “Everywhere You Go”’, along the way snaring a Best New Artist ARIA award. To support the global release of their debut album the band made serious inroads in America, Japan and Europe capped off by a Wembley Stadium show with Tina Turner in 2000.

In July 2002 Taxiride released their second album Garage Mahal. The album delivered the band a consecutive top 5 album and a consecutive platinum plus seller. Garage Mahal featured the top 5 hit single and number 1 radio song of 2002, “Creepin’ Up Slowly”. As with Imaginate, Garage Mahal was released globally and supported by the band undertaking a hectic promotion and touring schedule through Europe and Japan.

Now in 2004 the band are preparing for the release of their third album. Taxiride are currently recording in their home town of Melbourne with local producer David Carr. Expect new material very soon from one of Australia’s premier rock bands.
