Squaretape

and now, let's hear from our caller

About Me


Squaretape was founded in 2004 by multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter Kirk Hamilton and guitarist Dan Nervo.
An accomplished jazz saxophonist and composer, Hamilton had spent a year learning guitar, and was looking for an outlet for his rock writing. After he teamed up with Nervo, the two spent a year and a half leading the band, then called "Tape," as a four-piece.
In late 2005, they added Brian Fox and Peter Thomas to the bass and drum chairs, respectively, and started writing for a fifth member, musical jack-of-all-trades Dan “Llama” Apczynski, who joined the group performing backing vocals, keyboards, and guitar.
In 2006, with a solidified lineup and a growing repertoire, the group changed their name to “Squaretape” and released a self-titled EP.
They play regularly around the San Francisco Bay Area.
