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 continues to greet them with open arms as the band has sold out the Beat Kitchen and has been main support for Lucky Boys Confusion at the annual reunion show at the Metro.
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 over 250 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 É 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, released on April 22, is a soundtrack for the iTunes, PlayStation generation with breakout songs such as "Allow Me to Introduce Myself, Mr. Right," "Candle (Sick and Tired)" and "Take it Home." "Candle (Sick and Tired) debuted on the pop chart at number 37 and was featured on MTV's The City.
The White Tie Affair have also forged a partnership with Playboy Enterprises. After playing the Playboy Pajama Party in summer 2008, The White Tie Affair were photographed by Mick Rock for the November 2008 "Fashion" issue of Playboy Magazine, played a number of Playboy's Vegas parties, and are headlined Playboy's College Tour.
MTV has said, "since we first started listening to them, The White Tie Affair went from small-time gigs to big-time tours and from YouTube stars to TRL heroes. And they've gracefully braved grandiose comparisons to hometown heroes Fall Out Boy (though the Killers come to mind, and Boys Like Girls fans, you also need to pay attention), though they're carving out their own niche with glammed-up, synthed-out dance-rock tracks like "Candle (Sick and Tired)" and "Allow Me to Introduce Myself, Mr. Right" faster than you can swill champagne out of the bottle."
The White Tie Affair have garnered a huge fan base in a short period of time and continue to impress. Their video for "Candle (Sick and Tired) premiered on MySpace with 100,000 views in less than 3 days, they are embarking on a US tour with Lady Gaga, and are one of Warped Tour Kevin Lyman's favorite bands for this summer's Vans Warped Tour.
"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 be the soundtrack to your great days." - Chris Wallace

Sonicbids is an Artist and Promoters Worst Nightmare
Recently we began a trial usage of Sonicbids service for our artist and band searches.
As a result of that test it became clear that Sonicbids is all about earning money at the expense of artists looking to break through the wall that surrounds the music industry.
Based on our experiences from both the perspective of artists we are associated with seeking to benefit from opportunities offered though Sonicbids. As well as from the perspective of promoters searching for talent through Sonicbids service.
We have concluded that Sonicbids operation is nothing more than another one of these money making SCAMS that is generating as much as $8,000,000.00 a year for Sonicbids at the expense of artists and bands paying subscription fees on top of submission fees to be considered by promoters utilizing Sonicbids services. Of which many of these Promoters are running nothing but a SCAM on artists or bands that apply.
First, you should be aware of where the money goes. For every dollar an Artist or Band pays for Sonicbids’ subscription fees, it goes directly into Sonicbids pockets. Second, the first $100.00 of every listing by a promoter, as well as 50% of all fees you pay for any listing also goes directly into the pockets of Sonicbids. This means that Sonicbids is, by our estimation, pocketing over 75% of all monies collect from unsuspecting artists and bands.
We also believe that for every band that pursues any individual opportunity at least 50 artists or bands have applied for it, and in some cases 1,000’s of artist or bands. And in many instances after paying the fees and being selected the artist or band finds out they have to pay additional fees to be included, or they will receive a notice from the promoter telling them that even if they weren’t selected, if they want to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars they can still be included in the opportunity.
