Welp.
Just got home from Tapes 'n Tapes playing with Wild Light and locals Br'er Fox. Feelings: Mildly underwhelmed.
All the bands put on a solid show, sure, but nothing jumped out at me, nothing shook me, nothing moved me.
Now, to be fair, a good part of the mediocrity of the show had to do with the shitfaced Bro wearing a Richard Marx t-shirt (out of irony? Or does he really like Richard Marx? It's a toss up with this one) and attempted to start a mosh pit in the front left of the club. Only awkwardnes, lots of spilled beer ensued and general looks of "What a douche bag" ensued.
Wild Light played a solid if uninspired set, leading me to believe they are one of the few bands that may actually be better on record. Theirs, Adult Nights, is really stellar power-pop in the vein of an artier Weezer. The show, not so much.
Tapes 'n Tapes certainly picked up the groove quickly and the band's bass-centric sound resonated well in Brillobox's tight quarters. There was nothing particularly off about Tapes, but there wasn't the electric current in the crowd that a great show can create.
Check out "Just Drums," from Tapes 'n Tapes first record The Loon. Sound is good, video not so much. Enjoy!
