New Music / Freshly Written & Soon to be Released
Philly Music!
BATTLE OF THE ELECTRICS
The lines were drawn. The two sides were ready for battle. Up on the stage (a couple weeks ago) was Tygerstrype's (my friend) Alden Towler and Gabe Guerrero, and in the other corner of the room was the sound man of Johnny Brenda's trying to get this show going.
Tygerstrype had started to play and then abruptly stopped as the sound was not quite right.
Adjustments were made and Tygerstrype again started, only to stop again after a few bars.
This sequence repeated itself several times. Tygerstrype stood their ground. The sound system would not get up and running satisfactorily.
Reinforcements were called in. Over in the Johnny Brenda's sound corner of the room two more sound engineers were called in. They checked the console then went up on the stage.
Back and forth. Start and stop.
Finally, after quite a while, the sound was good enough for Tygerstrype to start for real.
It was great to see Tygerstrype on the JB stage. I had first seen Tygerstrype play at Kung Fu in August of 2011. At that point Tygerstrype was still a relatively new band in Philly. The band has made some big strides since then including being interviewed by YNOT Radio just a few weeks ago. The interview was about both Tygerstrype and the band's collaborating in "Magic Death Sounds", a collective of Philly musicians who are pushing the envelope of experimental music and sounds.
Here is the recording of that interview, done on June 19th :::
Some of the music played during the YNOT interview as well as the Johnny Brenda's show will be on Tygerstrype's new album ("We Learn to Love Our Chains") to be released later this Summer.
