The White Tie Affair w/ Every Avenue

The members of The White Tie Affair have musical A.D.D. Every thing they hear, touch and see influences them. The White Tie Affair is an adventure into pop, exploring many different styles and sounds. Whether it be sung, strummed, or programmed, you can bet they have tried to make it work. Front man Chris Wallace explains that the goal of the band is to "communicate their love for different kinds of music to anyone who wants to listen."
Growing up in Chicago, the group started piecing together sounds - everything from Stevie Wonder to AFI to The Police and came up with original, catchy songs. The White Tie Affair finally unveiled their musical work, playing shows all over Chicago. Their home city greeted them with open arms selling out a recent show at the Beat Kitchen.
It only took a couple of months before Slightly Dangerous/Epic Records took notice and the band signed a deal in 2007. Since then, The White Tie Affair has toured extensively across the country, playing one hundred shows, garnering press and die-hard fans alike. "We are living the life we always heard rock bands talk about when they were starting out ... the band in a van, playing great venues in a different town every night," says guitarist Sean P. "this is the life we always wanted "
The White Tie Affair's debut album Walk This Way, available this spring, is a soundtrack for the iTunes, PlayStation generation.
"At the end of the day, if our music makes you smile or dance or sing in some way, then we are accomplishing our goals.
We want to bring a little fun back to music.
We want to brighten up your bad days.
We want be the soundtrack to your great days." - Chris Wallace
