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:
Here, they take club classics from Notorious B.I.G., The Rapture, & Technotronic, chew them up, and spit ‘em all over your unsuspecting faces. FUCK YES.
MP3: Tenderlions- Going Back To Cali (Notorious B.I.G.)
MP3: Tenderlions- House Of Jealous Lovers (The Rapture)
MP3: Tenderlions- Pump Up The Jam (Technotronic)
To keep up with the latest on The Tenderlions, add them muthas on Myspace and tell ‘em Missingtoof sent ya!
