The Black Cab Rolls Onward


Time, time, yes, it flows on. Onward and onward to the abstract of infinity, the void of the future that is to be filled with the actions of present and past, mixed together like a really weird latte that has way too much caffeine. Yes, despite my busyness, time has been pressing forward at an ever increasing pace. And though I can't always give the most constant report to my ever-so kind readers on Voilà!, I do my best. Just because I'm not writing as often here doesn't mean I'm not keeping my tabs on the comings and goings of the music world though.

And within that music world of ours - as this particular tale happens to centre ourselves in that unheard of town of monarchies and big guys named Ben, London, England - there is one thing that never ceases in its mirandering back and forth all about the town. Of course, that certain thing I speak of is The Black Cab Sessions, the crew of cinematographers who wander about in taxi cabs with some of the coolest musicians you can listen to.

Busy busy, The Black Cab Sessions have been busy as time's a'flowin'. As their noteriety has grown, the Black Cabbers have had quite the notable guest musicians in the confines of their cabs. From The Walkmen to Pete and the Pirates - Peter and the Wolf to Slow Club - and don't even get me started on when Lambchop appeared - they have had the opportunity to film quite a few unique performances. Whatsmore, they've still got many things currently in the works, from their special Black Cab Session down in South by Southwest 2009, to rumours of the Black Cab Sessions in New York City. Talk about intrigue!

As always, the Black Cab Sessions sporadically update their site with brand new performances by any number of awesome bands and musical artists. You can check out their site here. You can find the Voilà! article on The Black Cab Sessions here. For a more convenient way to follow the British folks and their taxis, I suppose you could always start following The Black Cab Sessions on Twitter. But I guess if that were the case, you'd also be following Voilà! on Twitter as well. For now though, you can taste a treat of the Black Cab Sessions on Voilà! right now. Check out their performances of Peter Bjorn & John, and Grizzly Bear, straight from the streets of London.
