Tapes 'n Tapes
If you end up with a case of the Mondays next week, Tapes'n Tapes may be the cure. The indie rock band from Minneapolis will be playing at Jackpot Music Hall Monday. Drummer Jeremy Hanson says the band has a sound that you can't really pigeonhole. "Sometimes I call it just rock music. We get put into the indie genre, I guess, but I would describe it as experimental probably more than anything because we are, kind of, all influenced by different things," Hanson says.

What's all that rocket? The indie rock band Tapes 'n Tapes will be playing Monday at the Jackpot Music Hall.
Hanson says the band has
been coming up with new music in a different way recently.
"The new stuff we've been working on, Josh [bandmate] and I have been kind of jamming, and we haven't really done that before, but we get together weekly or a couple times a week and just play together and figure out ideas." Hanson says.
Hanson says that when they get on stage, fans can expect a party atmosphere from the band, and that they will also hear some of the new music the band has been working on.

The big game is on Sunday, but the Lawrence Arts Center is holding a "Souper Bowl" event of its own this Saturday. The Souper Bowl Saturday event will benefit the ceramics department at the Arts Center through the sale of ceramic bowls and an auction of guest artwork, says Ben Ahlvers, associate education director of the Arts Center.
Ahlvers says guests who buy the ceramic bowls will also receive lunch with their purchase including soup and a side of bread.The bowls range in price from $10 to $30.
"Most of them are made by instructors and some of our students and then we also have local potters that donate and I have some folks from other parts of the country that have sent in some things," Ahlvers says.
Ahlvers also says the Arts Center is auctioning two art pieces from guest artists at the event. He says the pieces will be on display until Saturday, which will be the final day of bidding.
Ahlvers says the event continues to become a bigger deal each year. "I think the quality gets better and better each year so it's really evolving into something, in my opinion, a pretty high caliber sale," Alhwers says.
