G Livelab, Yrjönkatu 3, 00120 Helsinki
Bändi syntyi vuonna 2019 Etelä-Lontoossa, kun virolaislaulaja Iiris Vesik, rumpali ja multiinstrumentalisti Max Doohan sekä kitaristi Sam Richards alkoivat luoda musiikkia yhteisessä kimppakämpässään myöhäisillan jamisessioissa. Inspiraatiota bändin nimeen saatiin kasettinauhoista, joille he alun perin tallensivat kappaleensa.
Noista vuoden 2019 jameista on kuljettu vauhdikas matka tähän päivään – tammikuussa 2025 trio palkittiin arvostetulla Music Moves Europe -palkinnolla, joka myönnetään vuosittain uransa alkuvaiheessa oleville, lupaaville eurooppalaisille artisteille.
Vuosi 2025 on alkanut bändille muutenkin vahvasti! Äskettäin päättyi heidän US-kiertueensa ranskalaisen nu-disco-yhtyeen L’Impératricen kanssa, he esiintyivät Euroopan suurimmalla showcase-festivaalilla Eurosonicissa ja ovat ehdolla Iiriksen kotimaan Viron Musiikkipalkinnoissa kahdessa kategoriassa: Vuoden Indie/Alternative-albumi ja Vuoden Bändi.
Night Tapes on julkaissut useita kehuttuja EP:itä, kuten "Dream Forever In Glorious Stereo" (2019), "Download Spirit" (2020), "Perfect Kindness" (2023) ja tuoreimman julkaisun "Assisted Memories" (2024), jonka kappale "drifting" on saavuttanut suosiota striimauspalveluissa.
Bändin tuorein single "Television" julkaistiin helmikuussa yhteistyössä Nettwerk-levy-yhtiön kanssa ja antaa esimakua syksyllä ilmestyvältä pitkäsoitolta.
"They make transportive music. The type of dream pop that makes gravity lose its grip. They
lighten loads and soften the edges, making us feel like we are levitating... just gloriously
buoyant. Honestly, if I'm having a heavy day bearing a load they take the weight off my shoulders. It's pure magic what they do!" -Sian Eleri, BBC Radio 1 (2025)
Music Talsinki -konsertit järjestetään yhteistyössä G Livelab Helsingin, Jazz Estonian ja Viron Suomen-suurlähetystön kanssa. Tukevat Viron kulttuuriministeriö, Viron kulttuurirahasto ja Music Estonia.
Konsertti on ikärajaton.

This spring, the Music Talsinki club series brings you Night Tapes – a dream-pop trio with Estonian and British roots, known for their enchanting blend of ethereal vocals, deep melodies, and modern production. The concert at G Livelab Helsinki marks the band's first live performance in Finland!
Night Tapes was born in 2019 in South London, when Estonian singer Iiris Vesik, drummer and multi-instrumentalist Max Doohan, and guitarist Sam Richards began creating music together in their shared apartment during late-night jam sessions. The band's name was inspired by the cassette tapes they used to record their music.
From those 2019 jam sessions, Night Tapes has come a long way. In January 2025, the trio received the prestigious Music Moves Europe Award, an honour given annually to promising European artists in the early stages of their careers.
And that's not all – 2025 has been an exciting year for the band so far! They recently wrapped up their US tour alongside the French nu-disco sensation L’Impératrice, performed at Europe's largest showcase festival, Eurosonic, and were nominated in two categories at the Estonian Music Awards: Indie/Alternative Album of the Year (won in previous year) and Band of the Year.
Night Tapes has released several acclaimed EPs, including "Dream Forever In Glorious Stereo" (2019), "Download Spirit" (2020), "Perfect Kindness" (2023), and their latest release "assisted memories" (2024), featuring the fan-favourite track "drifting." In February, the band dropped the single, "Television", a captivating preview of their upcoming full-length album set for release this autumn.
Iiris Vesik, professionally known as Iiris, has also gained individual recognition. She won the Estonian Music Award for Best Female Artist in 2013 following the release of her debut album, The Magic Gift Box. Her work received multiple nominations at the same year’s Estonian Music Awards, including Best Album, Best Debut Album, and Best Pop Album.
Music Talsinki events are held in cooperation with G Livelab, Jazz Estonia and the Estonian Embassy in Helsinki. Supported by the Estonian Ministry of Culture, the Cultural Endowment of Estonia and Music Estonia.
Concert is open for all ages.
