I have a new favorite band. Which means you’re about to, too. Please allow me to introduce you to Tigercity. I could regurgitate my on-point description I unleashed for Flavorpill CHI, but I think it’s more effective if I just copy/paste it, so check it out, yo:
It might be the dead of winter, but don’t tell that to Tigercity. One
listen to gems like "Are You Sensation?" and you’ll be wearing your Ray-Bans at night. In a pastel blazer. With the sleeves pushed up. In Miami.
The Brooklyn quartet churns out pitch-perfect electro-pop tighter than
a pair of leather pants, with disco beats bumping and grinding against
new-wave Numan synths and Prince-ly riffs. Chromeo without the punch line, Tigercity incite instant nostalgia (while keeping enough of an edge to stay au courant) and a raucous dance party. Their future is so bright, you’ll be glad you brought those shades. (LT)
The boys are back in the City on Feb 10th for a gig at Mercury Lounge with Bon Savants and Up the Empire, so mark your calendars, and in the meantime have your own dance party at http://www.myspace.com/tigercity. And do I get points for not posting about rawk, or what?
