THE BAND'S HISTORY

2001 is Cab Driver’s founding year. Thomas "Sky" Jones and Denis Ronta found themselves suddenly ending up on the street: They had dropped out of their previous band, a Croatian rock band, and now were desperately looking for new musical challenges. It is a little bizarre that of all people some hip-hop-buddies introduced them to rock guitarist Johnny Weber. After first sessions the project Cab Driver was born: Johnny Weber on the guitar, Thomas "Sky" Jones on the bass and Denis Ronta on the drums. After the lead singer’s role had changed a couple of times during their first years, Reno Rock joined the three. Reno, who studied sound engineering, first played the second guitar. Since 2005 he is also the band’s lead singer. Apart from that, Reno is Cab Driver’s producer and manager.

After the band had found its cadre, they could get started with bigger live gigs: In autumn 2005 Cab Driver rocked at the Böblingen Polarnacht, followed by a concert at Sindelfingen’s ICE. Both of them are well-known music-events in the area of Böblingen. A few month later Cab Driver had its biggest gig (until now) at the Böblingen City Festival.

After the 2006 gigs the four boys took off and went to their self-made but highly professional studio to fully concentrate on the work on their first own album. Now you can finally get the reward of many long winter nights at your record shop: "Don’t stop" is a dyed in the wool rock album with hard licks but sentimental and melancholic elements as well. Apart from a funky cover of the Rolling Stones’ "Anybody seen my baby" every song is handmade by Cab Driver.
