Interview with The White Tie Affair: Living The Dream

Do you guys come across a lot of crazies, groupies and nutters out there?

Chris: Just chicks that want to have sex.

So Playboy. You guys played at the Playboy Pajama Party. How was that?

Chris: It was amazing, I don’t think words could describe it at this point. It’s pretty much like everything you’ve ever been told about the Playboy Mansion —times, like, 20.

If you had to paint a picture for people, how would you describe the experience?

Chris: I would say… pajamas, Pauly Shore, pole dancers, fruit punch—a lot of ‘p’ words.

Did you have chicks swooning over you? Were there girls in bikinis?

Chris: Actually they weren’t in bikinis. They were naked and they were painted. They just had painted bikinis on.

So what are you guys doing now?

Sean: We just finished with Metro Station. We’re doing some one-off shows—Christmas shows and radio shows— and at the beginning of next year we’re doing some shows with Secondhand Serenade.

Chris: And we’re actually trying to get on tour right now with Lady Gaga because I think Sean has a thing for her. We just want to show up and maybe obsess over her.

So what’s the plan ahead? What have you guys got your sights set on?

Sean: We’re actually just going to keep promoting this record for a while now. It’s just starting to break into the mainstream—but we’re always writing new songs.
