AUCW is over, and so is the hard work, and so is probably the most fun we’ve had at a gig since I don’t know. Everyone there was amazing— Via Dove, Dots Not Feathers, Union Tree Review and Bo & The Locomotive. And the crowd was awesome as well. We hit the stage at 8:30, which is early for a show, and the place was nearly packed already. A few folks has been queued up outside for over an hour.
Of course, none of this would have turned out remotely good, or at all, really, without the supernova talents of The Paper Dolls and Brien Seyle of Rats & People MPO. Please check them out when you can! So thanks again for letting us be in this fantastic lineup and for the super nice tweets.
Give in to the Great Time Suck and check out some amazing photos by Mudd Photography and video by Jarred Gastreich & Abby Gillardi.

Tight Pants Syndrome was named Best St. Louis Pop Band for 2011 by The Riverfront Times. Frankly, we’re not sure how that happened. We were lucky Jeff decided to check out the award party. Next thing he knew he had to do this:
KDHX just put out their artist/album spin count for the year, and it looks like they took Tight Pants Syndrome’s latest album Fully Attractive on that crazy trip 52 times! Not bad for having the new album out for only a few months. You can see the full chart here.
We at TPS want to say a big, big thank you to all who came out to make the “Fully Attractive” release party at Off Broadway a success!
Tight Pants Syndrome — “new gyno health epidemic” (Glamour) or “fun, loose and upbeat” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)? Trust us, it’s the latter.
Tight Pants Syndrome embrace that legacy in a ready-for-radio album called Fully Attractive, which is so bold and catchy that I’m shocked Tight Pants haven’t been on the cover of a magazine (didn’t they fit?).
