The Tapes
1) A dutch New Wave band from Amsterdam. Existed from 1977 to 1982 when they disbanded after the disappointing sales of their last album - On A Clear Day (1981), produced by John Leckie.
Two other albums were made - You Just Can't Sleep (1978) and Party (1980). Members were: Rolf Hermsen (guitar, vocals); Michiel Brandes (guitar); Igor Roovers (bass); Dennis Duchhart (keyboards) and Peter Meuris (drums).
2) An Italian experimental electronic / industrial outfit consisting of brothers Giancarlo Drago (only permanent member) and Roberto Drago (the biggest supporter and collaborator over the years), active between 1982-1993.
The project released over 20 cassettes, mainly in DIY manner on own "Industrial Tapes" label, but in later years (1987-1993) moved to such legendary labels as "Minus Habens" / "Technological Feeling" / "RV" / "Amen - THX 1138" (also appears on many compilations by them).
Music is mixture of post-punkish mutant synths / gurgling cold beats / distorted voices and bleeping noises tearing metallic fields appart = the soundtrack for images of consumers control, medical experiments, psychological warfare and other highlighted themes of modern industrial era.
Main tools were: synths, drum machines; shortwave radios, loops, TV noises and self-build effectors.
3) A four-piece rock outfit hailling from northwestern Ohio. The members of the band grew up together and were friends for a number of years before deciding to unite as a band in early 2005.
Their debut EP, The Wave of the Future, was released on New Year's Day of 2006. The EP was recorded locally by Michael Edwards. The band was subsequently able to play the New Artist Showcase of two festivals during 2006: the Cornerstone Music Festival in Illinois and the Purple Door Festival in Pennsylvania. They were also invited to open one show for Audio Adrenaline (on their farewell tour).
The members are: Greg Jenkins (keys, vocals); Brett Horner (guitar); Daniel Lyon (bass); Mark Dally (drums)
4)The Tapes, Ostrava. Kapela byla založena na podzim roku 2009 na popud Mata, který skládá hudbu i texty. Obsazení se po dobu od založení hodně měnilo, obzvláště v roce 2010 při nahrávání desky – Tales, facts and things that were worth it (recenze alba v časopise Rock&Pop červen 2011), která vyšla v květnu 2011. Nyní je skupina už delší dobu stmelená a kompletní: Mat (kytara, piáno, zpěv, harmonika), Jarda (kytara, zpěv, piáno), Kuba (basa, zpěv) a Klára (bicí). V roce 2010 se ‘Tapesy’ umístili na 6. místě v celonárodní soutěži image kapel, zahráli si na Majálese OU a měli spoustu příjemných koncertů. Nedávno poskytli živý rozhovor na Českém rozhlase Olomouc a stále pilně pracují. Read more on Last.fm.
