Tickle Me Pink Wiki Information
Tickle Me Pink
is a rock band from Fort Collins, Colorado currently signed to Wind-Up Records. The band is composed of Sean Kennedy (lead vocals, bass), Stefan Runstrom (drums), Joey Barba (guitar) and Steven Beck (guitar, vocals). After independently releasing their first two EPs, If Only We Were Twenty One and Up
(2005) and Half Seas Over
(2006), the band released its debut album, Madeline
, on July 1, 2008. [1] The album's release was also marked by the passing of then-band bassist Johnny Schou, reportedly due to a heroin overdose. [2]
Joey Barba, a longtime friend of Tickle Me Pink, was formerly a member of another Fort Collins based band, The Brotherhood of Dae Han, which broke up in January 2008. Tickle Me Pink asked Barba to join them on tour after the death of Schou.
The video for the band's first single, "Typical," premiered on MTV2 Unleashed on August 4, 2008. The video is directed by Christopher Sims. The song has become popular in Colorado due to increased airplay on 93.3 KTCL. The band is currently opening for Hawthorne Heights on their Fall headlining tour. The band members from Hawthorne Heights claim to have asked Tickle Me Pink to join the tour in part due to a sense of shared loss, having lost a band member themselves the previous year. [3]
Their song "The Time Is Wrong" is featured as a free downloadable track in Rock Band 2 which also works with its predecessor. It was released as 1 of the 20 free tracks on the Xbox Live Marketplace and the Playstation Network, that was talked about before the games' release.
