Any musician has the right to create a 2nd band if they choose and that's exactly what 2 of the band mates from the Plain White T's have done. The band is called "That Lying Bitch" and it consists of Tom Higgenson and Dave Tirio from the T's as well as 2 other guys named Darren and Eric. They have decided to start from square 1 again after all these many years. The guys met back in High School and have always played in Punk Bands. Darren had a band called "THE SCISSORS" and apparently he talks about his EX in the new band's music. She was the guitarist in Darren's old band which ended a few months before "THAT LYING BITCH" was created. Eric and Darren are on the guitar in the group while Tom's on the drums and Dave's on the bass. Darren uses a VOX in the group and everyone is on backups. The band's name came to be when Tom told Darren he had his Kerplunk Greenday album and turned out Tom didn't have it after all. The guys are only playing around Chicago as of now but perhaps they'll tour around, eventually with even the T's. Their tunes are pretty catchy and can be only heard as of now via on youtube. Here's a clip of them at a gig.
Their Nicknames are: Peeping Tom, Darren Trama, The Godfather & of course Dave Hovno.
If you ever get a chance you should really check them out .. Their influence for their music is actually The Ramones. All of the band photos posted in this blog post are from the band's facebook page.
To all my readers out there I will be keeping you posted ASAP with anything NEW that may go down with these guys so stay tuned !
Love Always,
Joanna
