Brenda Xu + Tape Stacks

Doors 730 Show 8 All Ages

Ambient/folk artist, Brenda Xu (pronounced shoo) has been building a steady following since her arrival on the Seattle music scene a few years ago. The momentum she created with the release of her last album "For The Winter" in 2014 has led to two successful western U.S. tours and a recent feature in the MTV show "Awkward." Compared to artists such as Cat Power, Daughter, and Aimee Mann, her sound has been described as "treading the delicate line between washed-out ambient tones and carefully crafted acoustic arrangements." She is currently working on her fourth album and plans to tour the U.S. and Europe this year.

Seattle-based 4-piece indie pop band, Tape Stacks, release their sophomore EP in August. The six-track album features the single, Sun Breathing, a peppy little tune about seasonal affective disorder.
Tape Stacks is Josh Buser (bass), Layton Hayes, (keys), Mandy Hubbard (drums/vox), and Kara McPhillips (guitar/vox). The group has played Seattle-area venues including The Crocodile, Tractor Tavern, and The Sunset since forming in 2012. The past year has seen an increased focus on recording, with their debut EP released in June of 2015, and their second EP, recorded and mixed at the Hall of Justice by Mike Davis, following quickly on its heels this August.
