Last night, I saw the Tapes ‘n Tapes show at First Avenue in Minneapolis. They totally kicked ass! I didn’t arrive in time for the openers on account of the pre-party getting out of hand, and I didn’t stay for the Plastic Constellations on account of the repurcussions from the out-of-control pre-party getting out of hand. But what I did see was a shy, up-and-coming band rock a capacity crowd at Minneapolis’ best music venue.
