Jesus Christ Taxi Driver

Carsick in the backseat from the stop-and-go, foot fixed to the brake driving of New York City, you catch a glimpse in the rearview mirror. A set of familiar eyes meet yours, but it couldn’t be. Why would Jesus H. Christ be an immigrant in the U.S. of A, collecting fares as a cabbie to put food on the table? Certainly this isn’t the American Dream we were sold. A tongue in cheek concept representing so many forms of disillusionment and hypocrisy, Jesus Christ Taxi Driver found their band name, as well as a track off of their upcoming second album Taxi The Rich.

Rapturously irreverent, politically pointed, religiously disoriented, and existentially uncertain, the suite of songs’ ethos is pure rock ‘n’ roll, but the sound sure isn’t. Taking cues from garage punk, funk, surf rock, twang and even power pop, Jesus Christ Taxi Driver assembles an unlikely thematic cast of characters on Taxi The Rich including serial killers, Lana Del Rey, Jeffrey Epstein and more.

Formed in 2022 on Colorado’s front range, the band is made up of Ian Ehrhart (guitar and vocals), Colin Kelly (guitar and vocals), Miles Jenkins (drums) and Will Ehrhart (bass). Known for their unrestrained, disruptive live shows that have been likened to Iggy Pop and The Cramps, Jesus Christ Taxi Driver has previously opened for Frank Black (Pixies), The Hold Steady, A Place to Bury Strangers, The Thing and more. Leaving their mark across North America, they have also performed at festivals including Treefort, Somewhere Fest and Break Out West. Fueled by the human connections they make on the road, the band has every intention of spending as little time at home this year as possible.
