The White Tie Affair (also known as TWTA) was a pop band from Chicago, Illinois consisting of Chris Wallace (vocals), Sean-P (guitar), Tim McLaughlin (drums) and Ryan McLain (keyboards). In early 2007, the band signed with Epic Records/Slightly Dangerous and released their debut album, ''Walk This Way'' in April 2008. The album contains the band's two singles, "Allow Me to Introduce Myself...Mr. Right" and "Candle (Sick and Tired)", which have been featured on MTV's ''TRL'' and ''The Hills''. According to the band's biography, "the two founding members both agreed that they wanted to bring some fun back to a music scene that largely focuses on the negative aspects of life." ==History== The band signed with Epic Records/Slightly Dangerous in 2007 and began touring with such artists as Secondhand Serenade, Making April, Innerpartysystem, Metro Station, The Medic Droid, and Kill Hannah. In the fall of 2007, the band recorded their debut album, ''Walk This Way'', at Annetenna Studios in Burbank, CA. In January 2008, bass player Jeremy Johnson left the band and was replaced by Ryan Cook, who also left the band in February 2009. In March 2008, the band was invited to perform at the annual "Pajama Party" at the Playboy Mansion. That summer, TWTA joined the 2nd Annual True Colors Tour for the show's Midwestern leg, sharing the stage with Cyndi Lauper, The B-52's and Rosie O'Donnell. TWTA also headlined several dates of Kill Hannah's Hope for the Hopeless tour during this time, along with The Medic Droid. That fall the band was part of ''Playboy''s Girls of the Big 10 Tour and was featured in a fashion spread in the magazine's November issue. TWTA was also featured on episode six of MTV's ''The Hills''. In December 2008, the band's remix of "All Black" was included in Good Charlotte's ''Greatest Remixes'' release. In 2009, the White Tie Affair toured with Secondhand Serenade and served as the opening act for Lady Gaga, who started her first solo North American tour, The Fame Ball Tour, in March. Following the Lady Gaga tour, the band would take part in Van's 2009 Warped Tour. The White Tie Affair (or at least Sean P., Chris Wallace, Ryan McLain, and Tim McLaughlin) would join bands such as Thrice, NOFX, 3OH!3, All Time Low, Cash Cash, and Alexisonfire at the summer-long music festival. In October 2009, The White Tie Affair hit the road for their headlining tour along with Every Avenue, Stereo Skyline and Runner Runner. In 2010 the drummer, Tim McLaughlin left the band shortly after their headlining tour, The Traveling Talent Show. There was no permanent replacement for the band's drummer. Although the band recorded their second album that was set to be released in the fall of 2010, it remains unreleased. On April 13, 2010 the single "You Look Better When I'm Drunk" was released. In an online interview〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=TRT Interviews: Chris Wallace is Ready For His Close-Up )〕 which took place June 8, 2012, it was revealed that the White Tie Affair had broken up. In August 2012, Chris Wallace posted on Facebook that he would release his debut solo album ''Push Rewind'' in September 2012. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The White Tie Affair」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
