Mambo Taxi were an English, London-based British indie band, linked with riot grrrl,[1] who formed in 1991 and split up in 1995.
They became part of a vibrant music scene in the early 1990s which centered around three indie labels in London at the time, namely Clawfist, Too Pure and Wiiija.
Their sound was a mixture of garage, punk, and pop[2] and they had links to British riot grrrl bands such as Huggy Bear.
Drummer Anjali Bhatia left in 1992 in order to form the Voodoo Queens and guitarist Ella Guru joined her in 1993.
Delia went on to be in the Phantom Pregnancies along with members of Huggy Bear and Wat Tyler,[5] and has proved to be the most prolific of ex-Mambo Taxi members, later appearing in the line-up of Baby Birkin,[6] the Family Way[7] and the A-Lines,[8][9][10][11] as well as Manic Coughh,[12] the Schla La Las,[13] the Action Time,[14] the Werewandas,[15][16] and others.
