TAN DOLLAR - "REUNIONS"

1. Waiting
2. Birthday Party
3. Tomorrow
4. The Chase
5. Full Bloom

"Reunions" is a self recorded EP featuring Chris Thorne(Guitar/Vocals/Drums/Synth), Liz Suh(Synth/Vocals/Drums), and Ilya Sandomirsky(Bass/Guitar/Synth). Recorded over just a few days, the songs are pretty much poorly recorded demos and some will probably be expanded upon as a full band later. This EP is available for free download here.

THREE NEW SONGS FROM "UNEVEN"

DOWNLOAD: Tan Dollar "Impossible Love" (3:03)

DOWNLOAD: Tan Dollar "Fell Out" (2:50)

DOWNLOAD: Tan Dollar "Headphones" (1:49)

We've just released 3 new mp3s from our upcoming tape "Uneven" on Life's Blood if you follow the MediaFire links above. The cassette will be 8 songs in total and will be available for purchase very soon. Additionally, Lil Chris has stepped from drums and has been replaced by Mike Skehan. We have also added Ilya Sandomirsky on bass. This album is the first release that both of them appear on.

Some totally rad blogs did some write ups about us and the new songs. Check out the write-ups on: No Fear of Pop, Impose Magazine, Theoretically Vinyl, All Everyone United, and No Modest Bear.

White Guys With Beards, a rad blog by Brian Wood, posted up there newest "WGWB & Friends Compilation" featuring a brand new song by us called "Asleep Forever". All of the artists are totally amazing so I encourage you to download it or pick up a copy on tape. Here is the download link, and here you can find more info about the artists and compilation itself.

"YOUR BODY AS A TEMPLE" ON IMPOSE

So Sam from Life's Blood met the dudes over at Impose at SXSW. He handed them a copy of "YBAAT" and they wrote this. Thanks for the support and I agree Lil Chris IS a menace on the kit.

PHONING IT IN FOR KDVS

We did a set for this KDVS's Phoning It In and did a funny little impromptu interview. I said "um" a lot. Plus there is a really sick version of "LC's Choice". It sounds exactly like what we would sound like through the phone and there are some sick bands who also did sets for the show! You can stream/download our session here.

Set:
Doug Jam
Six Feet
The Turning Point
LC's Choice
Epic Mana

WEST COAST TOUR VIDEOS

Hey, we made this series of 32 videos of all(most) of the bands we played with on tour. All of it was filmed by us and Wonder Wheel helped us edit this shit. Footage from San Luis Obispo was lost in a haze of 4Loko and Fog Machine smoke. Here are the videos:

VISUALS FROM TOUR

The two part tour with Italic Indian and Weed Diamond was the most fun we've had a in a really long time. We're recovering from the trip but we are playing January 25th at Tribal Cafe in Echo Park with Simo Soo from Austrailia. Here are some pictures we took on our USA Flag Disposable Cameras.
