NYCTaper Update: Spring Ahead

Its been a nice couple of weeks for nyctaper. We again received recognition and links for our Wavves recording on such sites as Pitchfork, Stereogum, Gorilla vs. Bear, Largehearted Boy and Fader. The server withstood the rush of visits and downloads with only a few short instances of downtime.

We have received a few “tire-kicking” inquiries from potential “white knights”, but ultimately we’re still on the same server and have the same limitations. We do still need a new server, but there do not seem to be any viable options at this point. In the meantime, we will continue to chug along.

We have added some exciting new shows and made some changes to the schedule listed below.
