[News] Tanlines Announce U.S. Tour Dates
Unofficially dubbed the most danceable act of 2012 by, well, myself, New York duo Tanlines will embark on their second headling tour of the year in support of their debut album Mixed Emotions. Proceedings kick off at Austin's Fun Fun Fun Fest, and will keep the pair busy for a full month of North American goodness. Fans best prepare themselves for a fun show. Check out their full tour itinerary after the jump.
Before their tour, though, Tanlines has teamed up with Urban Outfitters to put on a free show that will take place at Le Bain in New York on October 19th. With Blood Diamonds supporting, this is something you can't pass up on. Head here to RSVP.

[Interview] Tanlines Talk Live Performances, Trends in Electronic Music, and Their First Concerts (Part Two)
Brooklyn duo Tanlines have come a long way since their formation in 2008. After several years of releasing remixes, singles, EPs and featuring on compilations, Eric Emm and Jesse Cohen have firmly established themselves and the name Tanlines with the release of their debut LP Mixed Emotions, which dropped this past March on True Panther Sounds. The album sees both Emm and Cohen melding their collective talents into their most gratifying and seamless release so far, with each song delivering a fantastic mix of Cohen's production and drum work and Emm's emotive vocals and captivating guitar progression. Simply put, Mixed Emotions is fun, danceable, and consistently a joy to listen to.
During their recent tour, Emm and Cohen made their way to Fortune Sound Club in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada where the three of us sat down before their show and had the opportunity to chat. In part two of our interview, we discussed their live performance and the reactions they've garnered from fans, the various trends in electronic music and where Tanlines fits into that, and the first concerts they ever went to, including mine. Check it out after the jump, and, if you've yet to do so, head here to read part one.
