   About The Tights
One of the most bodacious original bands to come out of Philadelphia, their song Sweet Sunday was recently featured on Michaela Majoun's 88.5 'XPN morning show. Their volcanic alt-pop groove rock erupted from Philly's favorite garage girl threesome Mae Pang. WPRB’s Jon Solomon has also played them on his show. and they’re well-known to the top music writers in the city, including The Inquirer’s Dan DeLuca, Daily News’ Sara Sherr and CityPaper’s music editor Patrick Rapa. Bawdy singer/guitarist Lynette Miller Byrnes fronts with a booming voice as bassist Christine Weiser's harmony and solos give it a sultry edge, and John Byrnes backs the girls with his rich atmosphere of keyboards and percussion. Their soon-to-be-released CD "Carried Away" includes 10 original songs thick with melodic, amorous pulse. This highly anticipated CD will be available for purchase on iTunes, Amazon, Napster, and CD Baby as well as at live performances and local stores. It includes a special appearance by their longtime drumming phenom Elisa Chiusano on the remixed song Sweet Sunday. They've performed in Philadelphia's best rock venues such as The North Star, The Khyber, Tritone, The Fire among others.

Yep, thank god for XPN...an eye opening show to say the least. I'm right up 422 so my nose will be to the wind for a live show. Guess I have some reading to do in the meantime.
