“...effectively loose and untethered in the best ways, like a Stooges album, had that band been from 2000s Colorado rather than ’60s Detroit.” Colorado’s Jesus Christ Taxi Driver today announced their upcoming second album, Taxi The Rich, will be released digitally on April 24 via Midtopia. 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.  On today’s first sampling, a jazzy, satirical track titled “Too Cold To Golf,” the band is high-falutin’ while playing the flute. Personifying everything they hate, Jesus Christ Taxi Driver holds court amongst the silicone faces of the United States’ capital city, Palm Beach of course — Stream. Vocalist and guitarist Ian Ehrhart shared that this is a song rooted in “Excess and apathy. Poking fun at blatant abuse of power and wealth.” In the official video for “Too Cold To Golf,” the band takes to the green screen to create the lowest budget version of sophistication. In no time at all, their fat-cat foxtrot will be the dance sensation sweeping the nation — Watch. “Too Cold To Golf” single artwork [Download] Jesus Christ Taxi Driver is participating in Midtopia’s Buy Before You Stream initiative.

Fans can be on the lookout for more show announcements soon.  ABOUT 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.  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.  In 2023, the band released their debut record Lick My Soul with standout tracks “STUPIDMOTHERFUCKER” and “Ding Dong The Beeves are Dead.” In 2025, they were included in the National Independent Venue Association’s (NIVA) Live List of best independent live bands to keep an eye on. The Denver Westword frequently champions Jesus Christ Taxi Driver as one of the best bands in the scene right now. Taxi The Rich will be released on April 24th via Midtopia.  ### For more information on Jesus Christ Taxi Driver, please visit: Website | Instagram | Bandcamp | YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music
