Instrumental acts rarely get noticed unless they’re based in EDM, and even then, the chances of making it big are rare. TAUK have taken this rule and thrown it out the window, though, as they quickly ascend to the top. Having played over 15 festivals this past summer, as well as opening for bands such as Lettuce, these Oyster Bay boys have proven that they’re a force to be reckoned with. You can catch these progressive rockers on Dec. 29 at Voltage Lounge in Philadelphia, as well as on Dec. 30 at Best Buy Theater in New York City.
