Listening Party w/ Taxes

Description

Taxes

Former "crumb" frontman Robby Cronholm is the emotional motor that drives the band Taxes. Robby formed "crumb" in Southern California, and at the age of nineteen signed with Qwest/Warner Bros. and released "Romance is a Slow Dance." The release of the record led to "crumb" touring with such top tier acts as "Jimmy Eat World," "Death Cab for Cutie," and a slot on that year's Lollapalooza festival tour.

Eventually "crumb" disbanded and Robby waited a few years before forming what is now arguably the second greatest Rock band of all time: Taxes.

After enlisting the services of Berklee College of Music grad Brad Harbidge on drums and Cincinnati transplant and keyboardist extraordinaire Tristan Eckerson, the trio spent the next year writing and rehearsing the songs that would eventually appear on their debut EP. The trio then recruited the effects- driven, creative guitar sounds of New Zealand native Josh White and solid, "in the pocket" bass skills of New Yorker Jonathan Kepke.

With the group now fully formed, Taxes headed for the studio. Having known John Vanderslice for many years, Robby decided to record the EP at John's seminal Indie Rock studio Tiny Telephone, located in the heart of San Francisco's Mission District. Vanderslice recommended one of his top producers for the project. Laura Dean, having worked with artists such as Amanda Palmer, The Frail, and John Vanderslice, was the perfect woman for the job. The band recorded six songs over a period of a month, all of which will appear on their forthcoming EP "This is Going to End Badly."
