Your Loving Tiger

Stronger Than Dirt

About Me


Your Loving Tiger: some called us 'avant-garde children's music,' others called us 'The Fugazi of Ragtime,' some said we were brave and brilliant boymen, others 'weirder than [we] really are,' but most bastards didn't call us anything, anytime, anyhow :( those saturday nights sure were lonely!
So now, 'in a coma' you say? Well, Bob's the guy who sings and writes the most and he went home to Pennsylvania to dry out and get fat for an unspecified period. Thus, we find ourselves in a haze or happy dreamland or whatever a coma is..
Fortunately, we got in the studio in Spring '06 and made a time capsule of our odd little lives in this place and time - it's called 'What Gives.' And for a small sum ($10 plus s/h) you may understand what we were trying to do with the free time from our shitty jobs, what helped us wake up in the morning - something we thought was worth creating and hoped somebody gave us the chance to shareblahblahblah. . then we got drunk and hit bad notes and got kicked out of the 400 Bar for telling off the owner. . as they say Up Nort, that was 'mint.'
In conclusion, friends if you like and/or miss us and want us to play again fork over the ducats and buy our pretty alright album. If you won't take our word for it, check out some reviews from various nerds in our blog if you wish - and oh yeah, thanks for visiting.

We also appear on a benefit cd for Daybreak! Newspaper with 20 other local yokels performing a rollicking live version of "We All Had A Real Good Time" at the Belfry Center - so swell it's Swollen!

The End. This is what my pastor said we sounded like, anyway.
