After the album is before the album…

New album “Fizzy Far Niente” on February 07
„Fizzy Far Niente“ – what the heck??? Yes, there were other working titles to describe this daring musical mixture, but nothing made us giggle like the funny sounding combination of a “Dolce Far Niente” garnished with some “fizzy” champagne bubbles. Available on February 07 on all digital platforms.

New single: “Once upon a Bandit Town”
Release November 15: ”TAPE FIVE is back with classic Electro Swing in its own style for our long-time listeners. Driving swing, rolling clarinets & a screaming trumpet in a filmish scene.…and they all grooved happily ever after.”
