The Weepies are about to embark on a 2011 summer tour and fans are ready. It’s not often that the Billboard chart topping indie duo get out on the road these days, as simultaneously raising a toddler and a baby has kept Steve Tannen and wife Deb Talan understandably busy.
ChinaShop caught up with Tannen to find out more about the band’s upcoming intimate acoustic dates. Tannen apologized for Talan’s absence during the interview and explained that her matronly duties had beckoned and she was off dealing with what he playfully referred to as a baby meltdown. Tannen talked about his appreciation for the recording process behind “Be My Thrill” and shared adventures with insomnia. He also discussed how his father was proud of him for placing a song in a Obama presidential campaign ad and told a crazy story about a not so clever burglar that attempted to break into the family home last month.
