Tapes 'n Tapes ('n Tour)
One good thing about others’ year-end lists is familiarizing myself with some of bands I’ve missed. One such band I now know thanks to Gorilla Vs Bear (#15) and My Old Kentucky Blog (#1 of his Fastest Moving 5), is Tapes n Tapes. Their myspace site.
“As far as I'm concerned, if you have Wolf Parade on your list, you can't leave off Tapes 'n Tapes' new album. I'm not sure how I made that correlation, but it makes sense to me. Such a good record.” (G vs. B)

I like 'em. Somewhere between Wolf Parade and The Sun.
What do the asterisks next to some of the tour dates mean? Philly's got one. I'm intrigued...
People who like "Cowbell" should also check out this song...
The Sun - "Justice" (follow link)
Little more pop-y, but very similar feel.
Tapes n Tapes rule. Go see them
They're also playing the Mercury Lounge on 1/9 and ROTHKO on 1/12. check it out.
they're playing the Dealcey with a local band called Mancino (saw via their myspace) who I saw at Luna Lounge a long time ago. That should be an interesting night.
