   About Locust Street Taxi

Locust Street Taxi delivers an infectiously fun and energetic live show the likes of which no musicologist or behavioral scientist would dare to analyze. In performances throughout the Pacific Northwest the band has proven to possess an irresistible appeal for crowds of all ages, sizes and demographics. The combination of outstanding inspired musicianship, effervescent stage presence and inimitable dance moves provide the exact sort of kick in the pants that people throughout this great country are sorely in need of.

"Like a zoo burning down...but in a good way."
- Darrell Romine

"Consummate performers."
- Yakima Herald Republic

"Fresh and laugh-out-loud funny...musically and rhythmically sophisticated but without a hint of pretension. Very spontaneous, very Northwest."
- Nancy Kenkel, Harlequin Productions

I came to your show Wednesday night in Olympia.

Best polka I'd ever heard!!! =]]


I'm from Yakima and when I found out you had played at our folk life festival I was really disappointed I missed it! Hopefully you'll come here again!



Thanks for your music.

Bands that cover the theme to the Muppet Show get into heaven no matter what they do on earth. Valhalla, too.

I thoroughly enjoyed your performance in Oly yesterday. The songs you all play are infections. A funk fever which can only be tamed through dance.

Yeah. LST rocks!

I saw you guys in at the 6th Street Fair and totally loved your set. You didn't get 1/64th of the response that you deserved, you were the best group that whole weekend!
Anyway I just wanted to give you some love and put in big thanks from all food vendors out there who'll go ballistic if they hear another 60's cover band.
Way to go LST!
-Bratwurst Girl
P.S. I was all for bringing you guys some food but my boss is a gigantic German wanker. Maybe next time?

I was sad we missed your Saturday show!! We actually drove there, Andrew's parents were even going to come, but parking was crazy, I wasn't feeling good to begin with, and Andrew's dad had a heart attack just a few weeks ago, and didn't feel up to walking half a mile either :P Anyway, we ended up going home, then everyone I invited told me afterwards that the same thing happened with them, but you guys were amazing as always!!
