Club Dada's added a staff member: Ben Tapia.

Tapia, who has been booking acts to the City Tavern for the past year or so (and will continue to do so), will help Dada co-owner Amanda Newman in booking local bands to Dada's stage. Newman will continue booking national acts.

Tapia's excited about the gig--and none too worried about spreading himself across the two venues.

"Booking's easy," he says. "It's just about developing a roster." --Pete Freedman
