"LA-based band Taxi Doll is described as a Rocktronica outfit, but I prefer to think of their vibe as “When Blondie met Kylie.” Lead singer, sex bomb, and all around pro, Dhana is a mesmerizing, live action, dancing queen with a pretty, crisp voice and an enchanting accent that’s one part German, one part Spanish, one part UK, and twenty two parts fairy dust. She and her band of brothers (they’re not really brothers) are grade-A musicians who make shiny music with a fully DIY ethic." - Los Angeles Daily News
"We predict in Taxi Doll that we could be looking at the 21st Century's answer to Blondie. Part German/part Spanish singer Dhana Taprogge looks born to be a pop-star. She certainly bears a striking figure combining a 40's style Hollywood starlet look with contemporary glamour." -Electronically Yours
Yes, it’s true about who you know in Hollywood but sometimes it's merely fate working her mysterious magic. That’s exactly what happened when five worlds collided. A mutual producer friend spearheaded the initial introduction of ultra-hot European lead singer Dhana and LA local producer/keyboardist Gregg. Shortly after, followed the discovery of drummer Jason, guitarist Matt and bassist Brian.
Named after the bouncy dolls seen in the back of taxicabs, Taxi Doll was formed to bridge the gap between pop-rock and electronic music.
Inspired by a mix of Garbage, Chemical Brothers and Blondie, the band quickly popularized a sound that is often referred to as “Rocktronica”.
“We’ve been so lucky to have all come together so quickly. I know it can take a long time to form a band, but we all love the same bands, Depeche Mode, Goldfrapp, Blondie, No Doubt, Garbage, etc. We used to meet on Melrose to hang out and talk about music, I guess you could say Taxi Doll was formed there.”
Since the inception of Taxi Doll, they have placed numerous songs in TV and Film, with “Waiting” charting 3 on the Billboard Dance Charts and now “Be With You” which is currently moving up the charts.
Their songs can be heard in the following movies and TV shows:
"John Tucker Must Die"
"Firewall"
"Shall We Dance"
"Laguna Beach"
"The Hills"
"CSI: NYC"
"Veronica Mars" .
