Tapes n' Tapes n' viral videos

I have to admit, I heard about Tapes n' Tapes long before I actually heard them -- thanks to a hilarious piece of indie-cool satire, a viral video called "Clell Tickle, Indie Marketing Guru," starring comedian Aziz Ansari. Going on five years later, I've listened a lot to Tapes n' Tapes and quite like them. But that video is still good for a giggle.

"I wish I could take more credit for it," Tapes n' Tapes frontman Josh Grier said in a recent phone interview. "But it was all Aziz's idea. We'd met and he was talking about doing a music video that wasn't quite working out. Then they came to us with that idea, which we thought was great. I've got to hand it to Aziz, he really pulled it off."

For more from Grier about his band, plus details on Tapes n' Tapes' upcoming local show, see the preview in Friday's paper.
