Tiger High / Trashy Creatures

Artist : Tiger High
Website : Trashy Creatures
What is it: psychedelic reverbs of the signature Vest style . Check out a review at The Flyer.

Tiger High, as shown on their website, have released digital downloads and niche limited collectors items of cassette and vinyl recordings. Some songs stream on both the website and bandcamp, with options to buy in the store on their website. Most of the members were also in The Bulletproof Vests, which is more garage power pop (RN, BC.) Also, they have a collaboration with American Grapefruit Media, rss feeds, twitter, etc.

I want to explore what they're doing right with the use of Media 2.0. They have long been a bright spot in Memphis music and I'm curious to see what is working for them.

Check 'em out. If you like what you hear, you can see them live. You can buy merchandise at the shows and help support them with the a mere $5 cover cost.

Some of my favorite Memphis music memories were of these guys battling it out at the Buccaneer, Jake coming out of the crowd and picking up a guitar to collaborate on the spot with Richard James at the Beauty Shoppe, and just putting out good tunes, always playing originals and covers, often til 3 in the morning. If you've been to many shows around town, chances are you've seen a Vest or two.

They're playing a show at the Hitone on October 27th, (this Thursday). Though, I highly recommend the Nov 9th show with Thee Oh Sees w/ Total Control.
