Slacker Tapehead: “Slacker Tapehead”

Slacker Tapehead

Today we bring you new music from Springfield solo ambient electronic project Slacker Tapehead. Slacker Tapehead is 5 tracks of improvised electronic music recorded on a Fostex X-28 multitracker by Eric Rogers of The Luhzin Defense. The result is a very spacious and experimental collection of synths, guitars, vocals and other sounds that will appeal to fans of experimental music and post-rock.

Slacker Tapehead’s debut is available for streaming and download now on Bandcamp with a cassette release to follow. No live shows are scheduled for Slacker Tapehead right now, but keep your eyes and ears peeled!

August is almost here, and with it comes the 5th Annual Downhome Music Festival. Each year Downhome Fest collects a sample of Springfield’s eclectic art and music scene, throws in a large selection of Craft Beers and turns up the volume to 11. The result? A huge party in the middle of Downtown Springfield! This years Downhome Fest brings together 34 bands on 5 stages over two days (August 7th & 8th). Bands scheduled to play include NIL8, The Timmy’s, Our Lady, The Complaint Line, The Luhzin Defense and many more.

Check the official Downhome Music Fest page here for the full line up, set times and other details. Tickets are $5 in advance and $7 at the door.
