Soaring vocals, smooth electric lines and a strong groove characterise the soulful sound of Western Australian based One Tiger Down(OTD).
“This 'Bluesy Pop' outfit stand out in their ability to create a connection between artist and audienceâ€
- Virginia B - Music Dir ‘First Chorus Band of Singers’
Winning hearts and minds with their sweet collection of original material, One Tiger Down has recently completed shooting a film clip with David Smith for 'Wise Yung Yu' off their debut EP. The film clip has had the privilege of being included on the Western Australian Music Industry’s ‘Kiss My WAMi 09’ compilation. The Premiere at Mojos Bar in Fremantle was a sell out and with the help of Perth indie rock stars The Preytells, Toys in Trees and blues folk crew of The Lazy Railway, the night was perhaps a roaring success.
“…a relaxed and impressive set with strong lounge jazz vibes left more than a few wishing the set would go on longer.â€
- Jason Kenny, Drum Media
The four boys first met in the jazz hallways of the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) but it wasn’t until 2 years later, after diversifying into genres such as rock, roots and funk, that One Tiger Down was formed.
One Tiger Down successfully released their debut self titled EP in late 2008 which sold out in local record stores. The EP captures the funky grooves, intricate and tasteful drum beats and subtle harmonics of OTD and is now on radio, in stores and gaining momentum.
"The elements are relatively simple, but the way they are put together suggests that these guys know an absolute shit load about blues / soul / roots music.
You just can't fake this kind of thing."
- Jaymes Brown, Drum Media
After numerous tours to the South West and a loyal following growing in Perth, One Tiger Down now set their sights on the East Coast. To help continue promoting their debut EP, OTD take off to Melbourne in early June to play a string of shows and showcase their latest material.
OTD have been back at Sumo Studios recording their latest single with Laurie McCallum so keep your ears on the radio and eyes on the web for a sneak peak and release dates of ‘Bow & Arrow’.
One Tiger Down are:
Bass, rhythm and lead guitar - Alex Lucas
Lead Guitar and bass - Lachlan Gear

One Tiger Down's debut EP challenges a time
where there seems to be no right or wrong...
as long as you follow the rules...
or you have the money to break them.
Gamble with love and death.
