Following the release of their latest single, "Blow Me a Kiss," New Brunswick's Sink Tapes started a short, East Coast tour last night at The Brighton Bar. They had help from Grand Mariner, Moth Puppy, and Agumon. Swim carpooling commitments had me walking in the door just as Moth Puppy was finishing her solo acoustic set.
I managed to catch full sets from Howell's Grand Mariner and Sink Tapes. This was the second time I'd gotten to see Grand Mariner, and their surf / garage / psych rock once again caught my attention. I picked up what ended up being the last cassette of their Happy to Birth release. After many failed attempts, last night ended up being my first chance to catch Sink Tapes live. Once I threw caution to the wind and removed my earplugs, I started hearing the sounds that drew me to the band in the first place.
Things were done nice and early at around 9:35. That gave me time to chat a bit with Frank Defranco, one of the founders of Sink Tapes' current label, Sniffling Indie Kids. I could tell that what they're doing there is a labor of love, and I wish them luck.
Here are some shots from last night. You can see the full set at Flickr.
