Tape Swap Radio held the final show of the year in our concert series this past Saturday night at National Sokols in Bethlehem. Performing at the show was Bethlehem grunge-y alt rockers Ghost Lily; Bethlehem jangle rock band Daytime Cleaners; Asbury Park, New Jersey queer party punk collective Teenage Halloween; and Philadelphia indie rock band Soft Idiot.
We’ve hosted all four of the bands at previous events in our concert series, but this was the first time having them all on one bill. The night had some of the best sets we’ve heard from the bands. Some highlights included Ghost Lily’s cover of the Replacements’ “Can’t Hardly Wait” as a birthday tribute to Mitch (of Small Mess, Broski), new songs from Daytime Cleaners and Soft Idiot, and Teenage Halloween closing their set with a lively rendition of fan favorite “666!”
We were also able to collect lots of non-perishable food donations which will be donated to Second Harvest Food Bank of the Lehigh Valley. Thanks to everyone who brought donations with them. Check out some pictures from the show below.
