We’ve been out on tour for the last month, but tomorrow night (2/25) we’re coming home to the Twin Cities…and we’re coming home in style.

We can’t wait to see all of your smiling faces! Doors are at 8pm.

There are still some tix available. Get em while you still can. BUY TICKETS

In other exciting news, we’re going to be playing a few songs on TPT 2 (Twin Cities Public Television 2) tonight (2/24) at 7:30pm as part of the MN Original series. So sit back, relax, and join us for some fine television.

To show our luv for you on v-day, we got a special present for you – the
Tapes Mixer for Badaboom! Way back in the day, we had the Tapes Mixer up on
our website. So we dusted it off and gave it an update. Now you can mix
Badaboom any way you like. Want to only hear the drums? Hit the “solo”
button. Want to take out the guitars? Hit “mute” on the guitar track. Want to
have all the instruments on the left and the vocals on the right? Pan it up.
It’s tapes gone wild. It might take a minute to load, but it’ll be worth it.
Just load it up, press play, and mix away.

Tapes Mixer: Badaboom

Hope to see you all on tour soon!
Love,
Tapes ‘N Tapes

“You’ve got to hand it to them in that they’ve achieved a Nada Surf post “Popular” level of comeback on Outside, a distillation of why so many got behind them in the first place. It’s a record that captures their visceral live energy, always the bands strongest point…” Under The Radar

“What they came up with is a blend of playful, upbeat melodies and unpretentious verses, delivered through their own imprint, Ibid Records. Without major-label scrutiny, a slightly less polished Tapes ’n Tapes return to their jittery punk roots on Outside—a collector’s item, indeed.” Blackbook
