Taxis is often characterized by light, heat, moisture, sound, or chemicals.
Pill bugs will prefer the wet side to the dry side of the petri dishes because they are used to living in dark moist conditions, such as under rocks or in rotting trees.

I slowed down, a dangerous thing to do since this was an invitation to all the trucks and taxis (who also can't see since no windshield washer motor is up to task) to pass me kicking up a wall of water that somehow managed to get through the already falling wall of water.

 Penny Ikinger at the I-94 Bar (pt 1)
After the band broke up, she went on to support former Wet Taxis leader Louis Tillett on his first two solo albums, before slipping away to Melbourne in the early '90s.
JM: I only moved to Sydney at the end of 1984 and the Wet Taxis were well established by then, but they also had this reputation from their very early days for being highly weird and experimental.
You did that first single and the album and then the Wet Taxis basically went into hibernation, then came back with half the line up: you, Nick Fisher and Louis from the previous line up, but everybody else was new.

Everything was about subverting the dominant paradigm so bloody deeply that nothing else would remain, that the very structure and foundations of society would reach up and a new revolution of expanded consciousness would take place.

As the taxis streak by, yellow lines with red lights, I'm pulling another drag from my last cigarette.

Outside, there are no taxis and a sheet of newpaper blows across Court Street.

 Penny Ikinger at the I-94 Bar (pt 2)
PI: I think what happened is that Nick Fisher had been approached by the New Christs and I remember him coming around to tell us that he'd been approached by them and that he wanted to start playing with them and that was where he was going to devote his time.
In Wet Taxis there was Simon Knuckey and then there was Jason [Kain] and then I've done a lot of work with Charlie, so I've never really had any problems, either slipping into the role of "first guitar" or "second guitar".
For sure, some people couldn't play and usually the records they made were awful, but a lot who didn't know how to play at the very beginning did learn to play pretty quickly, practiced and turned out to be good musicians.

Anyone old enough to remember the Wet Taxis will automatically recognise Ikinger's name, and her unique musical style.
Before that, she played guitar in bands (Wet Taxis, Red Dress) and guested on the records of more famous contemporaries (Louis Tillet, Charlie Owen, Tex Perkins).
It's clear why Ikinger has been in such demand -her unique, angular guitar style is riveting, from the distorto-fest of 'Poison Berries' to the delicate lutely pluckings of 'Kathleen' (great film clip for this stand-out song included with cd too).

 TrouserPress.com :: Beasts of Bourbon
Which perhaps it is, as Tex reformed the original Beasts concurrent with the Butcher Shop; the only difference between the new group and the old one is that it's angrier, meaner, more spiteful, more vicious and more capable of flaying with sound.
Black Milk, with an extended cast that includes pianist Louis Tillet from Wet Taxis, is closer to a Chicago sort of blues LP, the anger and attack subdued, the band subservient to familiar style.
Which is not to deny the individual elements — sometimes striking for their respective instants — but taken as a whole the third LP is only modestly rewarding.
