The Blank Tapes w/ Ash Reiter & Pat Hull

Description

"We discovered this lo-fi unsigned band - which somehow evokes Belle and Sebastion, Pavement, and the Black Keys - in a San Fran coffeehouse (just like the old days.) Quick, somebody sign them!" -ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE

"The last time I saw him my most fundamental confidence in myself was shaken because half his set was songs so good I knew they had to be covers of bands I already loved, yet I did not know them and if I can't even remember songs by the bands I love then why am I even going out at night when there are a lot of boring forms I could be filling out instead? But these were all Adams originals and they pretty much sounded perfect, and I even went home and listened to everything Ray Davies ever recorded on his own just in case there was something I missed but there wasn't. He wears sloppy sweaters and his band showed up looking like they just rolled out of men's central holding and it was the first best show of the year." -LA RECORD

"I had heard some buzz about The Blank Tapes (based out of SF), but I became increasingly interested as eight men and women walked on stage at The Independent and started playing a very groovy, syncopated rhythm that ranged from a modern take on the sixties San Francisco sound to solid rock and roll pop with memorable hooks and riffs, danceable beats, and always incorporating a joyful sound. I could tell the band was happy to be playing their music, and the crowd reacted to this energy- dancing and moving to the music coming from onstage." -SF EXAMINER

"Adams writes winsome pop tunes that snuggle up to you on the sofa and put a rosy glow in your cheeks. He's a traditional pop-rock craftsman, but Adams also has pronounced folk proclivities, with many songs exuding a delicate, campfire aura. They go down easy, like the sun." -OC WEEKLY
