In 2007, after the break ups of Chris Avello and Jimmy Valentine’s former band Hot Cops and Drew Zitelli’s former band Terrible Friends, this three piece (because they never got around to finding a permanent bassist) assembled for the purposes of spending one night a week together to get drunk and occasionally play music. Within 5 months they’d recorded an album called Sleep!. The band played one acoustic show sans bass in Hoboken, New Jersey after completing the album and then ceased to exist for awhile. The free online release of Sleep! developed a cult following, which led members to eventually officially release it and play two shows in support: one w/ Kenneth Ishak of Beezewax in November 2008 and another at the annual NYC Carlapalooza festival in 2009.

Tape and Wire have recently announced that they are working on new material for a full-length release in late 2011 / early 2012.

Drew also plays guitar and sings in Von Hayes. All three members reside in the Garden State.
