DrownedinSound was at The Old Blue Last in London last night for a low-key comeback performance from Minneapolis quartet Tapes ‘n Tapes.

The band focused primarily on new material from their forthcoming second LP, Walk It Off. The album’s released via XL in April. DiS was in early to catch support act The Fucks, too, who played to a full room after a massive queue formed outside ahead of doors opening.

A hot and sweaty room heaved to the following Tapes ‘n Tapes set list, which omitted the crowd-requested ‘Omaha’:

‘Le Ruse’ *
‘Cowbell’
‘Conquest’ *
‘Time of Songs’ *
‘Headshock’ *
‘Say Back Something’ *
‘George Michael’ *
‘10 Gallon Ascots’
‘Blunt’ *
‘Insistor’
‘The Dirty Dirty’ *
‘Demon Apple’ *
‘Hang Them All’ *

(* indicates a track from the new album)

Look out for an interview with the band in the coming weeks on DiS. MySpace here.


they began and ended on new tracks?

obviously they haven't been reading the DiS messageboards...


Massive queue?

Hardly massive. The entire queue was happy waiting inside the pub until we were kicked out onto the street like pieces of sh*t. I waited 90 minutes until I walked off in disgust. And why was I waiting? So the so called media could get in and post reviews as literate as this.

Check out the fan disgust here, it's much more entertaining:
