Shoulder Tap Presents…

Shoulder Tap — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 21:57:22 +0000

Here in New York, we’ve been putting together semi-regular showcases of artists from our crew and associated acts, performing at New York’s Sidewalk Cafe. They’re free shows where we play new songs, or try different arrangements of old songs, where we collaborate on stage with each other, playing mostly acoustic instruments. The shows have been a lot of fun — thanks to everyone that’s been coming out to see us and support us! I’ve been pretty bad about updating this blog with info about every show, but that’s about to change. Last month, we had six acts, and here is the poster by the soft-handed Dima Drjuchin (of Corrupt Autopilot fame):

Shoulder Tap Presents (Oct 27 2010)

We’ll be booking more of these, as well as other no-so-free shows with electric guitars.

The fine gents in New Beard have almost completed tracking for their upcoming debut record, and Vending Machine’s “Let The People Sing” is complete, to be released later in November.

Finally, we wanna brag a little about our one appearance at CMJ 2010 at Greg Barris’s Heart of Darkness. The sold out show was a phenomenal event, with Reggie Watts, Dave Hill, Kristen Schaal, and Kurt Braunohler performing, with The Forgiveness Choir backing everybody up (featuring New Beard, Yazan, Dima, Jonas from Mother of Three, and Aerial East). Here’s the poster for that:

Acoustic Show, Fall Records, More!

Mother of Three is going to Los Angeles to support Greg Barris’s Heart of Darkness at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theater, with special guests Janeane Garofalo, Marc Maron, and more. Then they’re back in NY for October in time for CMJ, with another Heart of Darkness (with Reggie Watts, Dave Hill, Kristen Schaal, and more).

Vending Machine is getting ready to drop another record of idiosyncratic Memphis pop in November. The artwork is done and the masters have been mastered and it looks and sounds great. Stay tuned for more info!

The Corrupt Autopilot LP “Greetings from Ghost Country” is now available for free download at http://corruptautopilot.com — pay as much as you want, even $0 if that’s what you think it’s worth.

Finally, Yazan has been in the studio recording a solo effort of acoustic songs inspired by the likes of RL Burnside, Skip James, Bob Dylan and Nick Drake. We’ll put some songs up soon, but if you want to hear it now, come out to the show on Wednesday!

Mother of Three July 10 show: CANCELED

Shoulder Tap — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 17:16:56 +0000

Well I’m sure those of you that came out on Friday night know by now that our July 10 show at Pianos was, unfortunately, canceled. Due to circumstances beyond our control, not all band members were able to be at the venue come showtime. We are super bummed that we had to cancel, but Dima still claims to have had the best birthday of his life, so thanks to those of you that came out and hung out in support of MO3 and Dima. If you want the full story, get off the internet and talk to a band member.

We’ll be booking some shows for late July and September and October, and we promise we’ll make it up to you all. If anyone didn’t get a refund, please email us (info at shoulder tap dot com) or leave a note here and we will make sure everything is squared. Our most sincere apologies for the disappointment and confusion. Our next show will be even bigger and badder, guaranteed. Thanks again for your unconditional support.
