Dr Pepper more Beach Party films. Away from the company, Loren was a familiar presence in the 1960s due to her many performances on television, films, and her records for Capitol, Reprise and other labels. She represented Dr Pepper until 1968. From 1961 until 1981, Dr Pepper was also the sponsor of the Miss Teenage America beauty pageant. On March 26, 2008, various media outlets reported that Dr Pepper would offer "a free can of Dr Pepper to everyone in America" – excluding former Guns N' Roses guitarists Buckethead and Slash – if the band released the long-awaited "Chinese Democracy" in 2008.
TAT (band) debut album. TAT released their album preview EP entitled 'This Is...TAT' in 2008. They completed the Vans Warped Tour and embarked on several other North American/Canadian tours with Alice Cooper, Lagwagon and MxPx. "Soho Lights", the band's long-awaited debut album, was released on 28 October 2008 through their own label, Red Wagon Records, with nationwide distribution across the USA via Sony's RED Distribution. However, the album was not initially released in the UK, which caused frustration for both the band and their home fans. The album later found a digital UK release through iTunes, but never in a physical format.
