Fan-Tan formed in the fall of 2006 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina when Kuki and Sandee Kooks met local singer/guitarist Ryan Lee Dunlap. After a few months of recording demos and playing shows around the area, the trio decided to move to New York where they incorporated the unique synth sounds of fellow North Carolinian and circuit-bender Mike Walters, who had also recently relocated. It is here where ultimately the sound of Fan-Tan would take shape. In 2008 the band began recording their second EP with Arjun Agerwala at James Iha’s Stratosphere Sound Studio in Chelsea. The results of those sessions, entitled “The Age of Discovery” were released on May 11th, 2010. Fan-Tan is now at work on their first full-length record.
