Remember The Tiger Tales

About Me

well. former bands go like :john and eric KUNG fu RICK drummer/bass player nathan the DAYTONAS singer/guitarist nathan WRITTEN IN THE SAND singer/guitars/bass noah and john AWOL singer/drummerwe've all been friends for years through the music scene in our beloved hometown ELMHURST,USA. and one time nathan spent the night over at noah's house. and i think i remember hearing of noah actually spending the night over at john's house a couple times. basically, though, everyone knew of eric, but he was never really allowed at our house's because none of our mom's liked him. he was "in to stuff" if you follow, but anyway. REMEMBER THE TIGER TALES started coming together late fall in 1994-following the kurt cobain murder. it took us about a year before we started to really shape up. you see, the TALES were'nt supposed to be anything serious it was just a THING and we've done everything by doing nothing to make sure that this THING, whatever it may be, stays the same THING with the same THINGNESS as it was when we started this THING. we "WEEZED THE JUICE" per se. i mean, we robbed the craddle a few times, a few hundred times on all our weekend trips to reno in all those scummy motel places, and rest stops bathrooms with all those sick sick thoughts and tennis balls, but i mean children are what we care about. and if you don't see that then you're ignorant. most of us have children and ARE children ourselves. we never swear on our albums, we stray away from the major issues such as: politics, gays, premeridal sex, and abortion. we hardly ever take ourselves seriously. we just ROCK!remember that one? "R-O-C-K in the USA" yeah, that's it. you got it man. we're all in our late twenties now and have found a way to drink at a discounted rate almost every night of the week. Nathan has, infact, put on quite a few pounds, and so has turkey (eric) for that matter. on a LIGHTER note (no pun intended), john fell in love with a Brazillian bag lady while on our south american " TAKE A LOAD OFF" tour during the beer implosion of 2000-FORGET ABOUT IT . they're great together -expecting in june- MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
