Taper’s Choice is a new band from greater California comprised of Alex Bleeker (Real Estate), Dave Harrington (DARKSIDE), Zach Tenorio-Miller (Arc Iris), and Chris Tomson (Vampire Weekend) that began in late summer 2021 as the result of a shared love of all things jam. Either an anthropomorphized 11/11/73 “Dark Star” or a spiritual tribute to mid-aughts Tonic (107 Norfolk St), they seek to find the weirdest edges of choogle and the sunniest side of free playing. There will be collective improvisation, deep grooves, and gritty harmonizing (except from Dave, who has a strict “shredding only” policy and flatly refuses to sing). Plus, Eric D. Johnson (Fruit Bats) plays a very special set of Jerry ballads to warm us all up and Aquarium Drunkard will be in the mix throughout the night. Come hang and let’s all see what happens! Presented by Gold-Diggers x Aquarium Drunkard. This is a 21+ event.
