The Black Cabs of The United States


It's been touted, it's been promised. The notorious Black Cab Sessions have promised and promised and promised the chance for us to catch them in their iconic English cabbies in a sojourn throughout the states! It's been long coming, but that time is now.

Finally, the Black Cab Sessions are revealing their treasure trove of American performances! Two adventures - with one trip to South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, as well as a big intercontinental love affair with the London natives in New York City - have resulted in a grand total of FIFTY PERFORMANCES. Oh yes, 50 performances from some of your most favourite artists!

The Black Cab Sessions only has four of this massive repertoire of new videos to debut over the next... who knows how long. But those videos already posted are fabulous: Ed Harcourt and Graham Coxon doing an improvisational song together, Little Boots electro performance, The Virgins - a good friend of Lookbook.nu - breaking it down in the backseat, and some of friends of Voilà!, Champagne Champagne, featuring Mark Gajadhar of The Blood Brothers and his two mates with a pair of the finest hip hop flows this side of the Atlantic. Wander over to the the Black Cab Sessions, and check out the awesome United States performances right away!
