"Almost as good as Katherine McPhee for cooking up wicked-cool Bedazzler patterns" - Mark Abraham, Cokemachineglow.
"One read through their myspace page and attending blogs will clue you in to the fact that Blind Tiger, Tiger is possibly one of the wittiest, most hilarious bands to have ever graced the Great White North. More importantly, however, there's nothing funny about how freaking great their music is. ...Any band whose music is simultaneously instantly hummable and yet so sonically rich as to merit repeated listens is definitely worth their weight in gold. Or in tigers, as the case may be." - Soundcheck Magazine
"They play infectious indie pop with considerable earnest, bringing cutesy, twee, and milder shoegaze influence to bear on the bubblegum pop of acts like The Postal Service." - Beatroute
Blind Tiger, Tiger was formed when former members of shoegaze outfit Storyboard decided to stop playing music that makes you look at your feet and start writing songs that ask you to meet the world at eye-level.
The band specializes in explosive pop warm enough to melt the dirt-crusted snow of their local Edmonton. Guitars, keyboards, cello, and glock, intertwine to support oh-so-trendy boy-girl vocals that tell stories of evangelical preachers gone astray, the disillusionments of puberty, and the death of the last polar bear.
Blind Tiger, Tiger's idiosyncratic self-recorded demo caught the ears of promoters in Austin, Texas and snagged the band an invitation to SXSW, as well as a spot on Soundcheck Magazine's "100 Reasons to Love 2007" list alongside acts like Okkervil River, Spoon, and Vampire Weekend. Blind Tiger, Tiger was the only band that made the list without an official release.
Blind Tiger, Tiger has finished recording a five-song EP with Edmonton art and media wizard Eric Cheng (Spreepark, Hills Like White Elephants, Portraits) to be released June 13, 2008. A tour supporting the EP is scheduled for late June and early July.
Members of Blind Tiger, Tiger have appeared in performances and recordings with acts including Hot Panda, Spreepark, Five O'Clock Charlie, Hills Like White Elephants, Bramwell and the Leftovers, Wish, Skyscraper, Sall Gibson, and Monstro Pequenio, and have performed at several music festivals, including South by Southwest (Austin), Canadian Music Week (Toronto), Calgary Jazz Fest, and Smither's Midsummer Folk Music Festival.
