This past weekend I was able to see for the first time live the band The White Tie Affair. You might have heard the name before from our Amore Magazine podcast interview with guitarist Sean P. last summer.
Though these guys are still touring the county in a van and playing small clubs they are well on their way to selling out large arenas across the country.
The White Tie Affair (Epic Records) played last year's Pajama Party at the Playboy Mansion, and were featured in the fashion spread of the November 2008 issue of Playboy . They also guest starred on an episode of MTV's The Hills this past season in which Audrina Partiridge shared a a fling with Sean P.
After the show I was able to meet Chris Wallace (lead singer) and Sean P. who signed some autographs and took a few photos with me (see photos after the jump). Both guys are down to earth and have not let the success they currently have get to their heads. That is what music is all about. That's what makes The White Tie Affair great.
I know they may have pulled up at that show in a van but before long they will emerge from a bus a top the Billboard charts, and their love of music and adoration for their fans will remain the same.
The White Tie Affair will be on tour this spring with Lady GaGa and later this summer on the Vans' Warped Tour. If you have the chance I highly recommend you check them out. There debut album, "Walk This Way" is on sale at Best Buy and other fine retailers.
After the jump I included the new video for Candle (Sick and Tired) the second single from their album, "Walk This Way."
