" There&amp;#039;s a bar somewhere beneath a harvest moon and as you lean into your drink, you see her dancing. You join her. Then you&amp;#039;re gone \u2014 out on Route 1, no headlights but your own. That kind of music \u2014 the kind that makes you grab a moment or a dance or just go \u2014 that&amp;#039;s Moon Taxi. The band is a ride, and a ride it&amp;#039;s been: The indie, alt-rock quintet has been tearing up Nashville dance floors for a solid seven years, with sold-out shows, stints at Bonnaroo and Lolla, and opening sets for the likes of Matisyahu and Dr. John along the way. And with the recent release of their third album, Mountains Beaches Cities, and a set on The Late Show with David Letterman tonight, the band is heading down a new road themselves. They&amp;#039;re exploring, or rather, evolving: becoming a little less jammy, a little more pop, but more ambitious and still founded in their Southern roots. Play them on the kind of fall days we&amp;#039;ve been having lately, when summer still lingers. Play them on a backroad drive with the fields and leaves at their peak, just before it gets cold. Hell, play them right now \u2014 just grab it, turn it up, and go.       Follow The Culture Blog on RSS and on Twitter at @ESQCulture. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
