Bio
Tickle Me Pink is an indie band based out of Fort Collins, Colorado. Over the last year TMP has massively impacted the Colorado music scene. After releasing their debut cd, "If Only We Were 21 and Up," at the Aggie Theatre in 2005 they have risen to new levels.
Now being aired on radio stations such as 93.3 KTCL, 90.5 KCSU, 90.1 KCGR and 88.9 KRFC, their music is getting stuck in the heads of most who will give it a listen. In November of last year, they were voted the number one band on college radio for the month, being aired once every hour.
In early 2006, TMP ventured to the west coast as well as to Vegas, Utah, and Wyoming. The shows spread their exposure and won them the attention of numerous labels.
Just recently, they signed with Grantham Dispatch Records. Their new album, Half Seas Over, will be released through GDR shortly. Chris Keup(producer and co-writer of Jason Mraz) produced their album and Jeff Juliano(mastered Dave Mathew's Band and John Mayer) mastered their album. Preceding this recording, TMP lost their bassist Scott Anderson. Left in a bind, they somehow dug themselves free when "Lifehouse's" bassist, Stewart Myers, stepped up to the plate and played on the new record.
Tickle Me Pink consists of...
Sean Kennedy
Sean has been involved in music his entire life. Taking opera lessons, piano, and guitar for 10 years, he has developed a unique, perfected style of his own. trained by classic guitarist Dave Beegle.
Stefan Runstrom
Stefan has been playing drums for eternity. He was immediatley added to TMP a year ago when fellow band members watched him win a battle of the bands on his own. Most would say he is a God. However, he would claim he likes to sound like Taylor Hawkins(Foo Fighters).
Johnny Schou-bass
Johnny is TMP's newest member. Johnny has a natural gift for music and bass guitar. He plays nearly every instrument and has an ear for song writing like you wouldn't believe. Johnny just finished recording "Rise Against" at The Blasting Room where he works with legendary Bill Stevenson(the Descendants, Lemonheads). You might know him from other bands as well such as the "Unsinkable Molly Brown."
Most fans would say that Tickle Me Pink cannot be fully summed up by listening to their recordings. Their live shows are what make them addictive to watch. Hopefully you can check them out soon!
