Tender Buttons

About Me

Tender Buttons are an offshoot of the band Kill Me Tomorrow, and have been kicking around since 2002, or so.

We have nothing to do with the band "Broadcast."

The name Tender Buttons was borrowed from a book of experimental prose/poetry written by Gertrude Stein almost 100 years ago (and people still haven't figured it out).

Some have speculated that she was referring to *nipples* with that particular phrase.

We wouldn't put it past her.

We've released eps on Deathbomb Arc, and Pacific Rock. Our debut full length, "Hot Abductions," will be released via Gold Standard Laboratories in early 2007.

The above songs are unmastered tracks from the forthcoming album.

The band is on hiatus. Currently Mr. Wentz is busy with his bands the Dabbers and Kill Me Tomorrow.
