Scraps of Tape video shoot this Friday

Scraps of Tape will be doing a special art-exhibit/photo-shoot/live-show/video-shoot at Gallery Krets in Malmö on June 17. It's free, but your likeness may be preserved for all eternity as part of the band's documentation of said evening, though that may mean you'll be the world's next big YouTube star (for a moment). Anyhow, there will also be cheap refreshments and the band will premiere some new tunes from the upcoming album and there may even be some extra-special guests. It all goes down at 18:00 and again: it's free. Can't lose.
