The Brothers Tapes are: Josh Grier (lead vocals/guitar), Jeremy Hanson (drums), Matt Kretzmann (keyboard/tamberine/backing-vocals), Erik Appelwick (bass/backing-vocals). From the 'City of Lakes'(Minneapolis, Minnesota) far, far away comes a surprisingly weird and wonderful musical heritage, both eclectic and indispensable, Bob Dylan, Prince, Babes In Toyland - to name but a few. Present day, the legacy continues with the new wave of obscenely talented whipper-snappers forming, making beautiful music and breaking-out, on the brink of spreading their talents Worldwide. I talk, of course, of none other than Tapes 'n Tapes, highlights of this year's SXSW festival, (nine packed-out, fun-filled gigs in four days and a whole lot of love from MTV, Radio 1, Music Week, NME, Rolling Stone and the New York Times, who joyously claimed, "Tapes ' Tapes were rhapsodic"). Hail Tapes 'n Tapes, the new indie hopes and music's future mavericks.
