Snow White Tan is the side project of Linkin Park's lead vocalist, Chester Bennington. The name itself is speculated to be a reference to the David Bowie track "Ziggy Stardust", which includes the lyrics "Came on so loaded, man/Well hung and snow-white tan", though it may have been renamed to Dead By Sunrise[1], by Bennington.

[edit] The album
[edit] Background information
The band, which also features Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck of the band Orgy, is Bennington's solo endeavor. The album is also produced and mixed by the two. The Snow White Tan album has been recorded in full and was originally slated for a 2006 release, and then an early 2007 release, but due to his commitments to Linkin Park, Chester has put the release on hold until the middle of 2007.
Chester performs guitar and keyboard on the album, as well as singing and programming. All extra instrumentalism, programming and production was undertaken by Ryan, Amir and Fu. The album does not yet have a title, but names have been thrown around previously. It is also said to be a far-cry from the nu metal sounds of Linkin Park and draws influence from The Cure, Depeche Mode, and Bauhaus.
