Tapes 'N Tapes Steam Through Humid Night

When it's as dreary and impossibly muggy as it was last Thursday night, I need a really good reason to get my lazy ass up off the couch, even if Lee's Palace is only a scant 10-minute trip from my house. Though things were a little late getting started, it quickly became clear that all the drizzle and clamminess were a small price to pay to see a...

Tapes 'N Tapes Don't Meet The Hype, Futureheads Do

in
By Leah Collins (CHARTattack) July 28, 2006 1:00 pm
An hour before the opening band were pencilled to play, the Futureheads/Tapes 'N Tapes double bill already had the makings of a packed house. It was 8 p.m. on a muggy Wednesday night and a line-up of iPods and ironic T-shirts snaked down the block in front of Toronto's Phoenix Concert Theatre. It's amazing what some rabid internet hype will do...

Tapes 'N Tapes — The Loon

in
By Angela Kozak (CHARTattack) July 25, 2006 2:02 pm
It's fairly common for bands to take a stab at variation on their records, but it rarely works as well as it did for Minnesota's Tapes 'N Tapes. The Loon is a rare entity. It will thrash you around with choppy riffs and careless howl-singing, but within seconds it can lull you back down with gorgeous melodies and the hypnotizing use of flutes and...

Tapes 'N Tapes — Outside

Minneapolis' Tapes 'N Tapes always seemed like they had it in them to make great tunes, but they just couldn't get there.Their 2005 The Loon debut invoked Homer and got them compared to Pavement and Pixies, but it was quite obvious they'd probably never be on the same level as those bands in terms of the quality of their songwriting. Their Walk It...

Tapes 'N Tapes Aren't Waiting On Blog Love

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) April 28, 2008 4:00 pm
Music blogs are a dime a dozen these days, but it's clear that a few still manage to hold clout. A blog first brought Tapes 'N Tapes' self-released debut, The Loon, to label and public attention in 2006. While the Minnesota-based foursome are certainly grateful for that word-of-mouth-driven success, singer/guitarist Josh Grier doesn't expect...

Tapes 'N Tapes Enjoying Loony Success

in
By Angela Kozak (CHARTattack) July 20, 2006 5:00 pm
Matt Kretzmann of Tapes 'N Tapes was just as surprised as everyone else when his small indie band burst out of Minneapolis and into the critic-approved blogosphere with their debut, The Loon. "Obviously we never expected it to take off this much, but it's awesome," Kretzmann says. "The thing about The Loon is that as a record it...
