Tapes n Tapes are one of the hundreds of bands heading to Austin for South By Southwest, but before they do, they'll take the Casbah by storm. If you're in town and have the chance, be sure to catch their beautiful and sweaty give-it-your-all set and wish them well on their journey to Texas. I'm currently reporting from El Paso, but I'm definitely going to try to catch them in one of their showcases in Austin, because everytime I've seen them before, I've left feeling invigorated by their energy. Maybe they hold the key to my conference survival.
