[Inline image 1]

This Fall, Nashville band Moon Taxi will tour throughout the U.S. on their 'Animal Style Tour' as part of Live Nation's Ones to Watch with Skype.  The tour will make stops in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago among other cities. See full routing below, and visit http://ridethemoontaxi.com/tour/ for more information. Tickets for all dates will go on sale on Friday, June 27th.

The band is supporting their acclaimed album Mountains Beaches Cities, which has earned praise from NPR, Esquire.com, InterviewMagazine.com, Relix, American Songwriter, and many more. Captivating a much wider audience these days - as PasteMagazine.com states, "Moon Taxi has had another landmark year, appearing on bigger and bigger stages ..." - the band has garnered recent debut appearances on the Late Show with David Letterman, CONAN, WNYC Soundcheck and USA Today's Studio A. Their last single "The New Black" was included in a few TV spots, including BMW's latest national TV ad campaign, which launched during the Sochi 2014Olympics - PRESS HERE<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjmbJmbIMtY> to watch the commercial.

Praise for Moon Taxi and Mountains Beaches Cities:

"A new artist on the rise" - NPR

"Mountains Beaches Cities is the band's third album of infectious, melodically rich indie rock and pop songs, and it's their best yet." - XPN The Key

"...shape-shifting, sleekly catchy, brilliantly prismatic Mountains Beaches Cities, they have every right to be pleased with themselves. It's the handiwork of musicians who haven't dumbed things down as much as harnessed their musical intelligence and exploratory spirits into New Wave-informed pop smarts."  - Relix

"Our new favorite band" - MTV

"Nashville rockers unleash similar guitar funk, with Kings of Leon-ish Southern strut." - Entertainment Weekly

"Moon Taxi has been one of Nashville's best kept secrets since its formation in 2006...the band combined its jam-band ethos with the newfound radio friendly pop." - American Songwriter

"They're exploring, or rather, evolving: becoming a little less jammy, a little more pop, but more ambitious and still founded in their Southern roots." - Esquire
