Who else is in the band Tinted Windows besides Taylor Hanson?
I think everybody had a certain reflexive rush to O_o and WTF at last week’s news that supergroup Tinted Windows, comprising Fountain of Wayne Adam Schlesinger, ex-Pumpkin James Iha, Cheap Trickster Bun E. Carlos, and the Hanson brother you remember, had been secretly out there existing and recording in NYC. Cramazing. But Schlesinger and Iha are well documented mates who aren’t afraid to take on pet projects that maybe don’t have the most indie cred (see: America), so, that they have a new cred-rehabilitation pet project who once played in Hanson shouldn’t be such a shock. Besides, he’s the handsome Hanson, and he can sing, so let’s just mmmm bop a little, you guys. Tinted Windows have an album out in April, a show at SXSW, and right here, a quick glimpse of the outfit/Taylor’s outfit in action. This faux-’80s rock show promo piece is either ironically awkward or intentionally awkward and so interesting viewing, with a rundown, C-grade Jerry Seinfeld ringer named Godwin Alexander intr
only at the S.S. will you find the first single from Tinted Windows, the new supergroup featuring Taylor Hanson, James Iha, Adam Schlesinger and Bun E. Carlos. It’s called “Kind of a Girl,” and will be featured on the Windows’ self-titled debut album, dropping on April 21st. The initial spark for Tinted Windows occurred in the mid-Nineties, when Taylor and Adam (from Fountains of Wayne) first crossed paths. “Ever since we met, Taylor and I had talked about trying to do something together,” says Adam, who has also worked closely with Iha over the years. The trio eventually bonded over power-pop, rock and New Wave. “We talked about everything from the Buzzcocks to the Knack,” says Iha. “And, of course, Cheap Trick.” On a whim they invited Cheap Trick drummer Bun E. Carlos into the mix, and he said yes! Sources: http://www.rollingstone.com/blogs/smokingsection/2009/02/tinted-windows.
