Tenderlions Exclusive Track, Remixes, & More!

tenderlions Tenderlions Exclusive Track, Remixes, & More!

San Francisco’s Tenderlions may be newcomers to the electro scene, but not new to making music. (Originally they were the ‘Tenderloins’, like the SF district/area- but a typo made while creating their Myspace music page changed that!)

Prior to ‘dance’ production, Evan Atkinson, one half of the duo, used to make hip hop beats while John Bryars, the other half, has been playing drums and piano since elementary school.

They’ve been quite busy as of late, playing parties around SF and creating a buzz in the process, and for good reason- these young kitties concoct some very solid music.

Quoting The Tenderlions:

Our set is LIVE, with drums, percussion and MIDI keyboards… Tenderlions want people to GET THE FUCK UP and DANCE!

First up is a Missingtoof exclusive, fresh off the presses. It’s a remix of Def Jam Kingpin Jay-Z’s track ‘99 Problems’…


MP3: Jay-Z- 99 Problems Tenderlions Remix

‘In Addition’ is one of the first tracks the Tenderlions produced:

Can barely believe it, but I’m still alive. Survived the incredible weekend in one piece & didn’t wake up in any holding tanks. Gotta give a big thanks to Lori at MAS-Fovever, Throne Of Blood and XLR8R for hooking up the pair of tickets to the Daft Punk /Rapture / Kavinsky / SebastiAn show at the Greek Theater this Friday. Shit was mind blowing, earth shattering & life changing!

And the after party was INSANE as well! The line up was Jefrodisiac & Richie Panic (Blow Up / Frisco Disco) The Throne Of Blood Crew & Ed Banger boys Kavinsky & SebastiAn. Despite the mass amounts of alcohol consumed the memories made that night will not soon be forgot.

If any of y’all were at either the show or the after party or both, let us know what you thought & if you got pics, POST ‘em in the comments!



Supersystem

supersystem Supersystem

The most Rapture-esque band since, well, since the Rapture. Born in Washington, D.C./Brooklyn, NY under the name ‘El Guapo’ they blended a rock, pop & dance genres into a their own brand of music. The band died, or split, rather in December of 2006.

Their song ‘Miracle’ appeared on a compilation on Alt Del records released last year. The cd featured up and coming artist such as Crystal Castles, Dandi Wind, Neon Plastix & New Young Pony Club. The success of these artists has this compilation climbing the charts on Juno.

Aside from sporting a similar sound to The Rapture they’ve also been remixed by the super group as well.
