COUNTDOWN TO MIDNIGHT

In Copley Square
Countdown to Midnight with WBZ-TV in Copley Square Join WBZ-TV Anchors Lisa Hughes and Jack Williams as we welcome in the New Year from the steps of the Boston Public Library. Televised live on WBZ-TV with Black Taxi peforming on the Boston Public Library Steps. Black Taxi sounds like a Tarantino film in stereo, they seduces with the seediness of a pulp fiction novel; a decaying sideshow that’s as sexy as it is punk rock. Lyrics paint woozy pictures of Kerouacian misadventures, featuring a rotating cast. A cavalier concoction of carnival trumpets, swaggering bass lines and smoldering guitar, Black Taxi plays like a vintage spaghetti western dressed up in neon lights...the soundtrack to that desert road trip you should have taken back when your girlfriend dumped you.

At the Parkman Bandstand on the Boston Common
