Taxi Violence will be embarking on a nationwide tour for the release of their new album, "Long Way From Home". The tour will commence on Friday, 6 May in Joburg and end on Saturday, 21 May, 2011, in Port Elizabeth.
In May, Taxi Violence's first unplugged album, or at least, the closest thing to 'unplugged' as Taxi will ever get, will be released. All the tracks are reworked versions of songs from "Untie Yourself" and "The Turn", except for three new tracks. The tracks were rearranged and stripped down to fit into a more acoustic, unplugged format.
All shows are unplugged/semi-acoustic.
