One of the best surprises for me at our SxSW party last year was seeing Tigercity perform. They took the stage about 8 hours into the party after a series of alt-country acts like Joe Pug, Justin Townes Earle, The Deep Dark Woods and others. Their set was the turning point in the party. People ordered fewer beers and more red bull + vodka cocktails and things got a little weirder.
I haven’t had a chance to spin the album, but the 80’s inspired “Fake Gold” is here as an mp3 and the video features the bald, bearded lead singer scoring a hot chick. The album is out now and the band is touring.
