Minneapolis indie quartet (and 2011 Rock the Garden alums) Tapes 'n Tapes may have been enjoying Pitchfork accolades and seeing their songs in commercials as early as their 2005 debut LP The Loon, but they remain a Twin Cities band through and through. Now on their third record, this year's Outside, Tapes 'n Tapes continue to prove themselves masters of driving, catchy and intricate rock. The Current was proud to have Tapes 'n Tapes join us at our booth at this year's Minnesota State Fair.

Songs played: "Freak Out," "One In The World" and "Insistor."
