The Blank Tapes will be playing tonight at Hyperion Tavern | Picture via the Blank Tapes' Myspace
Our Pick: Oliver Hall Band, The Hi Ho’s, The Blank Tapes @ Hyperion Tavern
As we approach Christmastime the generally vast pool of shows shrinks to nothing. Tonight Mike Stinson will headline the Redwood Bar & Grill with a few other country troubadours. And Japanese singer-songwriter Ed Masuga is slated to perform at the Silver Lake Lounge. But—unless you're frantically wrapping presents still—we strongly suggest checking into the Hyperion Tavern to see Oakland's own alt-rockers the Blank Tapes.
