Former astronauts, future spoon playing champions, and currently hungry. The Taxpayers march forward on the quest to punk-rock the pants pants off you, thus creating a no-pants dance party. You can find us at The Sea Shanty, building suspension bridges, or rummaging through your trash. We must say, you order a lot a take-out Chinese. Thanks for the egg rolls.
The Taxpayers always accept high fives, hugs, and are stuck in a lengthy filibuster over ass grabbing.
If you buy the CD online and live in Portland, we will personally come and deliver it to you. Via bike, most likely. The CD will include: a poster, stickers, signed* vintage KISS trading card, and found art!
Also, our album is available for FREE download on the internet.
