"Introducing Taxi Doll..."

"We predict in Taxi Doll that we could be looking at the 21st Century's answer to Blondie. Part German/part Spanish singer Dhana Taprogge looks born to be a pop-star. She certainly bears a striking figure combining a 40's style Hollywood starlet look with contemporary glamour." - Electronically Yours


"SXSW Sings The Praises Of LA Bands"

"LA-based band Taxi Doll is described as a Rocktronica outfit, but I would prefer to think of their vibe as 'When Blondie met Kylie.' Lead singer, sex bomb, and all around pro, Dhana is a mesmerizing, live action, dancing queen with a pretty, crisp voice and an enchanting accent that's one part German, one part Spanish, one part UK, and twenty two parts fairy dust. She and her band of brothers (they're not really brothers) are grade-A musicians who make shiny music with a fully DIY ethic." - Los Angeles Daily News


"Taxi Doll"

"If you like chicks like Katy Perry, Alisson Goldfrapp and maybe Lily Allen. Dhana may go in the middle of same tune with those names, and have got the hypnotising female voice." - Modern Music

"Taxi Doll"

"Grassroots critics agree with online journo Michael Walls dubbing the vocals “ultra-sexy” and the band’s performances “crowd pleasing.” And it all results from a heady fusion of ideas, individuals, and ingredients that is electrifying both onstage and in the studio…" - Last FM


"Taxi Doll"

"If this shorty CD is a taste of things to come, the Big Labels will be knocking on Taxi Doll’s door soon. And to you poseurs who say you don’t do electronica - or “rocktronica” as the sound has been described - you, too, will dance." - -Indie Junkie


"Taxi Doll"

"There's a definite rock/pop element in the album's instrumentation that insists on being heard."
- -Splendid Magazine


"Taxi Doll"

"Taxi Doll is the innovative band whose musical popularity is rapidly growing among audiences hungry for a blend of traditional pop rock and cutting edge electronic music." - -KO Video


"Taxi Doll"

"With a musical style that is self described as a blend of The Chemical Brothers, Garbage, and Blondie, you instantly pick up that this group is different from the everyday bands out there dropping club tunes. They've got some edge, some sass and their own individuality." - -About.com


"Taxi Doll"

"Taxi Doll makes addictive power pop ditties that are happy and extremely danceable to... think rock music meets electronic beats and synths meets strong vocals that is akin to a product of Gwen Stefani's and Maja Ivarsson's vocal chords." - -Independent Music


"Taxi Doll"

"Not only do they have a mastery of hooks as evidenced by the album opener title track but they’ll be leading the pack of the very soon-to-come revival of early ‘90’s electronica."
- -Smother


"Taxi Doll"

"The band focuses on making music that is danceable, but still very accessible to Rock Music fans. One the primary ways that the EP accomplishes that is through the music being very groove-friendly." - -Synthpop


"Taxi Doll"

"The music’s a bit more emotive, more human. Or maybe it’s just the sexy female vocals." - -2 Walls
