“Get ready for the rawest, dirtiest rock NYC has to offer! Taxidermy Girls, a band featuring legendary talents from Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Television, Mercury Rev, Speedball Baby, and Five Dollar Priest, is back with a new LP that will blow you away. Rte 209 Blues delivers gritty, powerful sound straight from the streets of New York City — pure, unfiltered, and full of that authentic underground energy. Once known as Taxi Girls, this band has evolved but still carries that rebellious attitude and raw edge that make them stand out. From gritty riffs to catchy melodies, each track is a trip through NYC’s underground scene, where dirty, honest rock reigns supreme. Don’t miss out on this release — a record that proves the spirit of NYC’s rock scene is alive and kicking stronger than ever.”
