Their sound was a bit rougher and their looks not the polished one the media love so much. Yet, they deserved more than what they've got in the short time the band played together. Except for two of their single releases, I am happy to have their cds and indulge myself in their wall of sound.SidRockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12897396447230859796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-9602108011464978062009-11-25T16:44:57.864+00:002009-11-25T16:44:57.864+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ben Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17049788260203342606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-74348860999063125562009-11-25T16:44:57.865+00:002009-11-25T16:44:57.865+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ben Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17049788260203342606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-32669762237993885402009-11-25T16:44:29.313+00:002009-11-25T16:44:29.313+00:00Beautiful stuff.

They really were very good. At the time I was obsessed with the likes of the Modern Lovers first LP, Roxy Music, Hawkwind and Quickspace, and Tiger seemed to fuse all of these things into a rather delightful confection.

I don't think I've ever heard Eddie Argos mention Tiger in an interview (or on stage - he is prone to rattling off lists of bands he thinks should be "Top of the Pops") but there is a slightly similar noise going on.<br /><br />As for that Youtube clip, that takes me back to the post-Morning Glory days when if the music press said an act were going to be "huge", they automatically got right of entry on to all sorts of TV shows in case they were the next Oasis. I'm sure there must be more examples of this phenomenon out there somewhere - Urusei Yatsura on This Morning, perhaps?23 Daveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341570374606412042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-33802726714678487302009-05-17T17:10:00.000+01:002009-05-17T17:10:00.000+01:00I've been ripping all my CDs (and now singles) ont...I've been ripping all my CDs (and now singles) onto my computer, and did 'We Are Puppets' recently. I have to admit I've never been able to sit through it the whole way to this day, but I do agree that "Race" is a cracking wee single and that it would never sneak through the gates these days.<br /><br />However, I do think that there's something of Tiger about Art Brut, I'd put money on Mr Argos being at least an admirer.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09314437364714367247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-30203270454009632842009-05-17T16:33:00.000+01:002009-05-17T16:33:00.000+01:00Pretty difficult to imagine a similar band getting...Pretty difficult to imagine a similar band getting this sort of opportunity too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEB_Q__jO5oSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834265575179460764noreply@blogger.com
