TapHabit's EPK |
TapHabit weaves elements of funk, jazz,
reggae and rock to create an unparalleled sound. TapHabit has a rapidly
growing fan-base at their frequent live performances in the Pacific
Northwest. Each live TapHabit show is different from the last, the
improvisation and creative nature of the band creates a totally unique
experience.
In the year following the release of their self-titled debut album,
TapHabit has emerged as a strong force in the Northwest Washington
music scene. 2007 is shaping up to be a great year for TapHabit, embarking
on their spring tour throughout the Pacific Northwest and Southern
California. Performing with for New Monsoon in Feb and RAQ in March
has set the tone for a year of endless possibilities for TapHabit.
Their sound has caught attention of some notable artists in the music
industry. TapHabit has shared the stage with Vicci Martinez, Bill
Frisell, New Monsoon, March Fourth Marching Band, Flowmotion, Shanti
Groove, Clinton Fearon and the Boogie Brown Band, The Lifesavas, Acorn
Project, Sway, Handful of Luvin and Stu Allen of the Jerry Garcia
Band.

Ian Chant of What's
Up Magazine reveiwed
our album March
2006:
"The tight instrumentation and pure joy in playing music - which
makes TapHabit so much fun live - are in full force here,...Everybody
sounds crisp, clean and polished without getting sterile, mostly because
the whole CD is way too entertaining to sound sterile. With inspirations
ranging from jazz and classic rock to Caribbean pseudo-ska and just
a hint of the blues, you never know what you're gonna get, but you
cant wait to get it." |

New Years Eve 06-07:
"What could be better than a costume dance party? How about a costume
dance party with...TapHabit providing the musical entertainment?
If you're unfamiliar with [this] band, I'm here to tell you, you're
just about the only one. [TapHabit] regularly draw[s] hundreds of
people to their shows…"
