Taxi Girl were a French new wave band, adopting the New Romantic aesthetics of the time, such as clashing red and black clothing, synthesizer-led songs, and taking influence from mythology and literature.
Their early success is attributed to two singles, "Mannequin" in 1979 and "Cherchez le garçon" in 1980.
After disagreements about how the band should develop musically, Laurent Sinclair [fr] left the group in 1983, to pursue a solo career.
Daniel Darc and Mirwais continued under the Taxi Girl name, releasing singles such as "Paris" and "Aussi Belle Qu'Une Balle", until 1986 when they disbanded.
[4] Six years later, on 2 September 2019, Laurent Sinclair, the band's keyboardist and co-composer, died at the age of 58.
