Tapes ‘n Tapes are tearing it up Congress style! The month of May is getting a really good bump in the rump with this little kick A show! We are all very excited about this show, so we can stop using exclamation points!

Ever since the blogosphere (yeah, we used the term) has been sending out music through its series of tubes, there have been some gems, but there have been some absolute diamonds, my friend. This little sparkling doublet from Minnesota is a keeper. This will be their second time in Tucson and their first time at Congress; it’s sure to be an amazing night.

Here’s a charismatic, playfully slipshod band unconcerned with making all the loose ends meet up, audacious enough to leave the dot-connecting to us - Pitchfork Media

 

Here’s the video for Tapes ‘ n Tapes’ “Insistor” — it’s a swinging tune, yo!

Our interwebs( yes, we also use that term!) have been going blogs over these guys. Straight out of the artistic bastion of Texas comes White Denim.

“The trio’s mix of clanging post-punk din, Minutemen-style funk, and howling spazz-rock—a daunting combination, to be sure—regularly wins over audiences with its primal, polyrhythmic fury.” - The Onion april 26 2007

Believe the hype. -Austin Chronicle: august 21 2007

J’aime tout à fait Le Denim Blanc. White Denim is a good time. A really good time. Such a good time, that your body isn’t quite sure what to make of it. At any given point during the EP, your ears are straining to pick apart the multiple layers of sound and your legs are pushing for a full-on stride. - Trip wire - June 11 2007

Check out this tasty video for “Let’s Talk About It” off the EP of the same name.
