The Tinted Windows…

You get the latest incarnation of the Supergroup, the long (or short) lived attempt at rock superstardom.  The word star is so relevant to me since most of these bands either shine brightly or super nova.  Will they soar like ELP, or end up in the dust bin with the likes of bands such as GTR?  I guess you'll have to check them out for yourself and decide.  I think they sound "well-good" and I appreciate the 80's style promo video.  Maybe a little too slick for the genre but I guess that's the effect of this modern age.

Tinted Windows are scheduled to play South By Southwest and I hear that Festival is pretty amazing.  You should go. I must say that Taylor Hanson is getting the best of this deal, but he actually can sing.  I wonder where his brother is?  Maybe he was the video editor.

Here's an excerpt from the press release:

Tinted Windows to Release Debut Album April 21St

"Taylor Hanson is best known as a member of Hanson, the multi-million-selling trio of brothers from Tulsa who have been recording and touring since 1992. James Iha was one of the original members of the Smashing Pumpkins, and has also been a member of A Perfect Circle and a solo artist. Adam Schlesinger is in the bands Fountains Of Wayne and Ivy. Bun E. Carlos is the drummer of the legendary Cheap Trick, with whom he has played since the group's inception in 1974.

The band will be making several appearances at the upcoming South By Southwest Festival in March. They will also perform select club shows starting this spring, and will appear at the Bamboozle festival at New Jersey's Meadowlands. A performance on The Late Show With David Letterman is scheduled for April 20th. More dates will be announced shortly"
