"…they play bluesy, sleazy, guitar raunch…" - ROLLING STONE.
A rock & roll band with an enduring fondness for pure pop and a wicked, sly sense of humor, TAB the Band defy easy categorization. They may love the Beatles and Cheap Trick as much as T-Rex and the Rolling Stones, but TAB aren’t classic rockers; they’re a vibrant, contemporary band that blends the vigor of punk, the might of arena rock and the melodicism of power-pop, earning the admiration of Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse, Stone Temple Pilots, Slash, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr, alt-rock stalwarts who requested TAB The Band as their opening act. TAB the Band has also played alongside the likes of Cage the Elephant, Art Brut, and others.
TAB the Band has been featured by MTV's Jersey Shore, HBO's Entourage, the MLB2K11 video game, and at major festivals such as Lollapalooza, Mountain Jam, Hyde Park Festival, Download Festival, SXSW and CMJ.
TAB the Band’s full range can be heard on Zoo Noises (released Jan 2010), a freewheeling, all-encompassing carnival ride, fueled by such intoxicating singles as the percussive “She Said No (I Love You)” and the breakneck hooks of “Bought and Sold.”
Blackacre
Blackacre is an American rock band based in New York. Performing initially as a stripped-down 2-piece outfit, Blackacre marries the experimental spirit of indie rock and the prominent, simple melodies of traditional American music. Formed in 2008 by Ryan Martin in Durham, North Carolina, the band played several shows and recorded material for an as of yet released album. Upon relocating to New York in 2010, Ryan began playing with drummer Greg Capone and cultivated a bluegrass and Americana-inspired ambient, washy rock sound. Blackacre’s music has been inspired by a wide variety of artists and styles, ranging from Sunny Day Real Estate and Jeff Buckley to Jonny Cash and the Carter Family.
