More about Tab the Band's Long Weekend

Their sophmore release retains the same rough and tumble nature of the first one. It sounds like a real band using real instruments recorded in an organic way. On this second release, the guys stretched the spectrum, some songs heavier and some more poppy.

The album's theme is about a girl living in the ritzy outskirts of a big city, messing around with her absentee parents' rich friends, taking trips to the city on her own and living dangerously. The songs take on the perspectives of her, her middle-aged wealthy suitors, and the 'good guy' at her school who laments over her dalliances. Ultimately, it doesn't work out and she finds herself, once again, in the hands of another ne'er-do-well mid-life crisis fellow.

Recorded at the Boneyard in Duxbury, MA , Long Weekend was written, recorded, produced and engineered by brothers Adrian and Tony Perry. The boys also helped mix the album with Kevin Ennis (who also mixed "Pulling Out Just Enough To Win").

Press LOVES Tab the Band:

NY Metro-
"Old school bar rock that on its own should win over more than a few jaded listeners"

Popmatters-
"Be sure to put this little gem on your TAB....This is crazy beautiful driving music. Play it in the car with all the windows down, and watch out for jealous stares"

Jersey Beat-
"This has to be one of the hardest, ferocious garage rock records ever: nothing but growl and strum, surging with assembly-line force!"

Blender:
"This band rawks"

JamBase
Holy Bon Scott on a buttermilk biscuit! This is rib-stickin' rock 'n' roll, slathered with hoochie coo and topped with the cherry from some willing band-aid (thanks, Ms. Penny Lane). TAB the band strips things down to their unmentionables and then proceeds to mention them in dirty, funky songs with irresistible choruses like "I drown every time I hear that sound!" The trio of Adrian Perry (vocals, bass), Tony Perry (guitar) and Ben Tileston (drums) moves with just enough sophistication to be dangerous. A bit more "classic rock" than say Rose Hill Drive or Wolfmother, TAB has the jittery bark of the New York Dolls and Toys In The Attic-era Aerosmith, which is fitting given that Joe Perry is Tony and Adrian's dad. But there's no need for nepotism here.

Boston Music Spotlight:
"Do yourself a favor and check out Pulling Out Just Enough to Win. Garage rock hasn't sounded this effortlessly classic in years."

Worcester Telegraph:
"'Pulling Out Just Enough to Win,' an album of rousing power-trio rock"

Boston Phoenix:
"Pulling Out Just Enough To Win rocks...."


TAB the Band are: Tony Perry, Adrian Perry, Ben Tileston
