TAP Tries!    (16:40 22-03-2008)
... Out that is! After having been locked in the musky danky pit wich is our rehearsal room for a couple of months, we've expanded our repetoire with some 'fresh' and 'happening' tunes (or whatever you kids call it these days).

Since it is our aim to put these songs on our upcoming debut album, and the whole thing is centered around you buying this album, we're gonna go ahead and try them out on some real live audience instead of poor monkeys who never get to see the day of light in her full ravenous beauty.

Currently the plan is for the album to be released in the autumn (but we all know what happend to 'Hysteria'). How is that for a scoop?
To cut an already lenghty story short before it truely ends in a rant: See y'all in one live-venue or another.

Up an Atom!

TAP Hails 'De Helling'    (13:32 24-11-2007)
If it's slighty silent on our internets, it is not because nothing is happening. 'Au contraire', the French would say! Can't tell too much right now, but rumour has it we're writing a bunch of new material, with no appearant reason at all! Or is there...?

Alphaville used to be Big in Japan, but we're Big in Barnstorf (DE)! Check out the frontpage coverage we got when we played our return gig after first visiting on our summertour. Those Germans sure know good rock when they hear it!

As you can see on the left, we're playing the Emerge Festival in Utrecht's 'Tivoli de Helling' on December 12th. To fill this 425 man arena to the brim we want YOU to come and shout out our lyrics 'till small pieces of vocalcord are covering the monitors.

Rockwards Ho!

TAP Goes Back2School    (13:32 28-08-2007)
Next Saturday Arnhem's Willemeen will litteraly rock on its foundations, with TAP's homebrewn Back2School Festival taking place. The fingerlickingly good line-up consists of: Feeler, Mister Blue Sky, TAP, The Sin Committee, Flight 195, Rise A Thousand and The Bloody Honkies.
This should leave nobody interested in current rockmusic unsatisfied. Tickets will be sold at the door at a friendly €5,- So be there and don't worry about asking for the billpayers permission.

On a sad note however our good friends of Snatchin'Jenny have decided to split up. After joining in rocking matrimony in 2002 during the "Lee - Shut up and Play Tour" we played various gigs together and generally had a ball. Part of the band is now going by the name of "Lashback" so hopefully we'll play with them in the future.

Godspeed and see you in Arnhem!


TAP Takes Five    (14:21 07-08-2007)
Two weeks after returning from tour our livers are no longer swollen, our legs are no longer cramped up from sitting in a tourbus for 9 hours straight and the memories of the long awaited gigs are still fresh in our minds.
Sander took to the pen and wrote an in depth review of our experiences. It's already up on Tapchat and will be on 3voor12 Arnhem/Nijmegen soon including some pictures!

August being our annual month of recess, those of us not on holiday are working to get the second edition of Back2School Festival (B2S2) into gear. It's a killer line-up so be there 1st of September because we know where you live!

Those of you dangling from the south border of Holland, we'll be visiting you 31st of August. Details will follow.
Ayeto!


TAP on Tour    (10:25 13-06-2007)
Next month TAP will finally be embarking on their long anticipated Distortion Tour through Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. On their 9-day straight rock 'n roll conquest they will be joined by Presence of Mind (GE) and Tate (AT). Be sure to catch the lads in their home towns of Nijmegen and Arnhem on the 18th and 19th of Juli!

In preparation of this upcoming triumphal procession, TAP will be playing three outdoor festivals in June, starting Saturday the 16th in Malden. And even though all of these events might be free of charge, they are not free of the sweet musical sounds of acts such as Henk Westbroek, 16 Down, Snatchin' Jenny and Boris (Ex-Idols).

"Keep the Rock Alive!!!"

TAP Rocks the Vote     (20:44 12-03-2007)
This month TAP will be featured on the band site Promocer. Voting for YOUR favorite band is only a click away so do us a favor and contribute to democracy by voting TAP!

Furthermore we are proud to say that the Distortion Tour '07 is almost complete. We will keep you posted on our progress abroad and let you know about the Dutch dates on this site.

Rumor has it that a second edition of the Back2School festival will grace our semi-hometown of Arnhem in September. As you probably know, this festival is organized by TAP and Willemeen and features some of the hottest bands around. See ya soon!

TAP 100% Cotton     (20:44 12-03-2007)
This weekend the troops will rally twice: Friday we'll show off our new multi-vocal-skills in support of our buddies Snatchin' Jenny at Café Brutus in Amersfoort;

Saturday a very exciting gig at ye olde Jeugdsoos '75 in Buren. We'll be supporting Van Katoen, who are currently on their 'Honk-Honk' tour. They will select four of the opening acts to play in Paradiso with them later this year! TAP Maybe? So drop by and cross your fingers for us!

While you're out surfing our MySpace site, be sure to check out our interview for TED Magazine from our recent Dutch Delight gig!

TAP Salutes Stacey     (20:44 12-03-2007)
Yes, the rumours are true: next friday our pelgrimage of rock will lead us to our nations capital. News has it Stacey Record's own Stacey will celebrate her 21st birthday during the Dutch Delight party in Studio 80 that night, and she happens to like rock music!

In an odd series of events, some tickets came in to our posession. You can pick one up at your local TAP member, (or TAP-spouse) for the friendly price of € 6,=. And be there when we rock out and play some new stuff! Also check Staceys Website for a video featuring your personal heroes!

TAP Turns Two2    (20:06 06-02-2007)
Drinking on stage? NEVER!! ;-)
But if you were there to catch the show in our home-town rock-café 'Dollars', you would have seen us bust out the Cristal (actually, it was 10 euro champagne) all over our fans to celebrate our 4 year-anniversary of live shows!

The '07 European Distortion tour is taking shape thanks to our Belgian friends at ATM management. We will fill you in on the final details at a later date. Meanwhile, the TAP promotion and booking machine is working hard to make sure you shan't go long without your TAP-fix. You might want to check out our show with Van Katoen in Buren or our appearance at the 'Play' festival in Arnhem! New pics from our photo shoots with Photomike will also be posted soon. Rest assured, more great gigs and new songs are in the making!

TAP the ONLY way to fly.

TAP Takes On The 80's    (23:33 04-01-2007)
Ladies and gentlemen, TAP warmly welcomes you to another year of rock prosperity. We ended 2006 in Utrechts Ekko, together with alot of our fans. Some of you chose Lostprophets at 013 over us, (which is a bloody shame!) but understood...

As an added bonus TAP will kick off the Newyears party in Jacobiberg with some rocked up Dutch 80's songs. So if you want to hear Sander croon in Dutch this is your chance! Invitees only, so if you want in, you got to mail us.

A-Hoihoi!

TAP Touches Up    (15:35 21-10-2006)
Yes, it's long been quiet on the internet front... But now there's something to reveal: the new and improved TAP-website! We'll be making some minor adjustments over the next couple of weeks, so keep in check!

As some of you might have noticed: the gig-list has gotten a swift kick in the butt! We'll be touring part of Europe early next summer. (Are you as exited as we are?) More details on the tour will follow shortly.

Next up is the gig in Buren. We'll be playing with some international bands, currently touring Europe.

Be there or be a party pooper!

TAP Keeps Things Festive     (11:25 24-07-2006)
Coming Saturday, the Back2School Festival will be in full swing at 18:30 hrs in the Willemeen, Arnhem! TAP has organized an evening of entertainment with some local all-stars you can't afford to miss!

The line-up will consist of Breaktrack, With Ice, John Coffey, Je Moeder, TAP, Snatchin' Jenny and Try Drowning. Entrance is only 6 euro and the night will be especially memorable since it's Je Moeder's last gig with the original members! Shout out to Dean who has to leave the band due to problems with his vocal chords... Off course all bands have the "TAP - Seal Of Approval" for being able to kick your ass with some great music!

For more info about the festival and the bands, surf to Back 2 School Festival. O...and for those of you that still haven't found the video of "She", you might wanna surf to our MySpace!

See ya Saturday!

TAP on Hold     (11:25 24-07-2006)
Being a rockstar is a 24/7 job. Fortunately we can still afford to pretend we are no such thing. We will be in far away places until the end of August, so all will be quiet on the Analog front (for now).

If you are showing withdrawal symptoms like we are, you can check out articles on 3voor12 and in Up magazine (Up&Coming, Bullet For My Valentine) to get you through the summer. We are also artist of the week as of July 24th on www.Boomr.nl.

You can check out our music video at the release party August 26th in the Störtebeker in Arnhem. We have some kick-ass shows in September, including our self-organized festival the 23rd of September in the Willemeen with local heroes such as With Ice, Je Moeder, Breaktrack, TAP (of course) and not so local heroes like Snathin' Jenny and Try Drowning!

TAP will be back with a vengeance.

TAP Digs Dollars    (00:21 12-07-2006)
Over the past few years of TAP history, there's been one annual event you could take for granted: TAP will play Rockcafé Dollars in Nijmegen at the Vierdaagsefeesten to sign off for the summer break.

This year is no exception, so come come cheer us on next monday as we play every song we know, think we know or don't know at all!

See you there!

TAP at Tivoli/De Helling    (01:10 20-06-2006)
Mymy, TAP is on a roll!

We will be playing a sold out Tivoli/De Helling this Friday with Bullet for my Valentine (UK)! Too bad we only heard about this 4 days in advance, otherwise you could all buy tickets!
Hope to see you all the 29th in Arnhem for our videoshoot though. It's free and not sold out!
