About Me

Tapewormer came into being in 2006.Based in Glasgow, Scotland, Tapewormer will hopefully become some songs, some recordings, an album and maybe one day in the future a live show.2009 sees t/w a fully fledged member of Glasgows premier Freakbeat combo The Fast Camels and a member of the Infomaniacs, a loose collective backing Neil Sturgeons full electric live shows.t/w can also be found playing bass for The Mesmer Club (who bear a striking resemblance to Neil Sturgeon and the Infomaniacs but are far more handsome) and played bass with The Goldenhour who have released two albums, Beyond The Beyond on their own label 'contact high' and Always In The Now on Glasgow label Neon Tetra.The plan is to keep posting songs so keep in touch as it will be a case of blink and you'll miss a few! Hope you like them.all the best to all who stumble upon Tapewormer.t/w xxx
