The Taxpayers
Celebrating Goof Punx, DIY Music, Social Awareness, and Jimmy Buffett (Contact and Booking: noah@thetaxpayers.net)
Here we go! A video introduction to the new album.
You can pre-order the CD from us (there is a paypal button for it at the top of this website) - it should be ready by June 15th-ish. The CD version will be a CD-R with handmade packaging and fun little things included. Nothing too fancy, but something physical.
The vinyl record will be super fancy and is currently available for pre-order from Asian Man Records!!! Really Records will have dem vinyls too.
The cassette tape is currently available for pre-order from Plan-It-X Records.
The book (that’s right, an actual physical book!) is currently available for pre-order from Cantankerous Titles!!!
We are in the process of working out a book/album package deal - we’ll keep ya’ll updated!
You can listen to the first track of the album here.
Forever Fucking Stoked,

FREE HEALTHCARE, DAMMIT!
Hey guys! We started a list of free/low cost health and dental care clinics:
http://thetaxpayers.net/healthcare
Life can seem overwhelming when you’ve got serious health issues and no way to pay for it. However, there are services available - you’ve just gotta know where to look. Right now this is a short list that’s related to our own experiences, but we’d like to eventually be able to add a free clinic for every state.
If you have more to add, please get in contact!

Useless State on tumblr
Well, shoot. Useless State started a tumblr account!
You should stop on by and say hi. Here is the link:
http://useless-state.tumblr.com/
Keep updated to find out what the hell we’re doing with our spare time. The tumblr will let you know of upcoming Useless State releases, mp3 downloads, upcoming shows/tours, and poorly written blog posts. We shoot for the stars here at Useless State
And you should probably know about the REAL website, too.

It has clouds and grass. Very serene.
Hello? Is that you Darby Splash??
Holy crap you guys!! In 2 days, we’ve already reached 125% on Kickstarter! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I think y’all made me cry last night…
There are still a bunch of ridiculous prizes available and we have a bunch of gratuitous energy to spend. We also have a few new AMAZING prizes, including adopting a tour-fish to be in care of The Taxpayers. We’re naming him Darby Splash.
Spread the word yo! Tell yo friends, tell yo tumblrs, tell yo blogs, yo facebooks, go tell it off yo mountain, tell yo mama! The Taxpayers are coming to your town.

HERES A LITTLE FRESH SAMPLE OF COOKING WITH ROB:
YUM!!!!
WHO KILLED TONYA HARDING!?
Hello interwebz!!!!
How are you on this most excellent day? It’s so nice out right now! Guess what we did last night? Go ahead, guess! ….. We made a Kickstarter page!
Why you ask? Cause someone killed Tonya Harding! No, NOT that Tonya Harding, the big beautiful boxey metallic one that sits on the road in front of our house. Our van! Simply put, Tonya is super sick and we fear she will not be able to safely travel to Bloomington, Indiana for Plan-It-X Fest. Given this, we need to find a solution and FAST! PIX Fest is next month and it’s a great honor and dream-come-true to be a part of this event, WE HAVE TO BE THERE (we’re playing the same day as Mountain Goats!!!!). So we made a Kickstarter page to help remedy this.
The goal is set pretty low at $400, but the real expense of the trip is much much higher. We have 20 days to meet the goal of $400 (hopefully it will exceed it!!!) and there are a BUNCH of awesome, weird prizes we offer for your lovely dollars.
Please visit our Kickstarter page to read more and PLEASE PLEASE spread the word. Being a true DIY band is expensive and incurs a lot of costs that we cannot generally afford most of the time. We’ve done nine national tours, lets hope for many many more!!!
Thank you so much to everyone who has helped us over the years. You mean so much to us!
xoxo,
The Taxpayers
