THREE TRAPPED TIGERS - http://www.myspace.com/threetrappedtigers
There will definitely be three of them this time, and they will have a debut album that will definitely blow your tiny little minds...
Biog:
“Three Trapped Tigers are an instrumental noisenik outfit from London who exhibit the precision of electronica, the raw intensity of rock music and the schizophrenic spontaneity of their electro-improv past. Not easily classifiable, but with influences ranging from Aphex Twin and Squarepusher to Lightning Bolt and Battles. The music veers wildly from noisy guitars to contemplative synths, frantic beats to ambient noise.
Their first five-track EP was recorded with the now-legendary Gordon Raphael, who produced the first two Strokes albums. Raphael caught the band playing at a house party and was instantly enamoured. “He offered to record us for free at his place in Berlin,” says Tiger Tom. “So we did, and that’s what you hear now.” The band started out as an entirely improvisational duo comprising two of the three members – Tom Rogerson (piano, keyboards, voice) and Matt Calvert (guitar, synths, electronics). When the duo decided they needed more might, it was out with the laptop beats and in with drummer Adam Betts. They named themselves Three Trapped Tigers after the book by Cuban writer Cabrera Infante. It’s not, say the trio, meant to imply that they represent a tiger each. “I liked the book, I liked the name, and it seemed to make sense with the concept of the group – contained rage” says Tom."

One of the *very* best new bands around – if you don't know, get to know. If you know, you'll be down early.
Biog:
“Once upon a time in the sleepy seaside town of Falmouth, three boys came together and began jamming out cheesy, pompous instrumental songs for their own narcissistic pleasure. They get offered a gig at the university bar by their mate supporting Tubelord... In one week they reduced their silly spaz outs into four songs and a loosely formed 'set' and thus inflicted their 'hobby' upon an audience. This was a lot better received than planned and they have then proceeded to play ever since.”
