Eats Tapes will be playing Saturday on The Last.FM/Presents Stage
Eats Tapes, Marijke Jorristma and Gregory Zifcak, animate antiquated and accelerated synth attacks with their salvaged, fixed, fetishized and formerly fashionable machines. They have become a household name in the San Francisco Bay Area, introducing the sincerest of rave art jams to the out-rocked, out-postured denizens of San Francisco’s mission district and Oakland’s free techno warehouse scene. Their music is a driving, chaotic organism riding aconstant crescendo to an early grave. In performance, Eats Tapes wrangles howling hardware and discarded altered beasts, mutating the character and context of underground techno by grafting it with influences from the San Francisco’s fertile noise scene.
Eats Tapes has just released a full-length CD, "Dos Mutantes," in addition to “Sticky Buttons” and two 12" singles (featuring remixes by Kid606, Strategy, Wobbly, The Soft Pink Truth, and Sutekh) on Oakland's Tigerbeat6, as well as a 12" EP on Community Library.
