  Comprised of throat singing, world music, a dash of rock and a Didgeridoo, Guelph’s Tiger Suit are returning again to the eBar November 9th. The duo (Renee Cross & Curtis Maranda) are performing alongside Sub-Stance and Lion Detective Club and took a moment to talk with me about the show.
  
  SH: Tell me about the show at eBar – why eBar?
  
  TS: Ebar is one of the most exciting venues in the Guelph area. Not only is it a great space that’s centrally located, it hosts some amazing bands and the management is top notch. We had a great time when we did our CD Release party there in May and are really excited about playing there again.
  
  SH: I like that ‘Tiger Suit’ and ‘Lion Detective Club’ are playing the same show. Just wanted to point that out.
  
  TS: We just feel bad for the other big cats that are left out. Sorry pumas, ligers, cougars and lynxs. Actually, I think some cougars will be there.
  
  SH: Who does Tiger Suit draw influence from that your fans may find surprising?
  
  TS: We think everyone is influenced by everything they hear, either consciously or subconsciously. Consciously, we’ve been influenced by Radiohead, Bjork, Tori Amos, Autorickshaw, Ghostland Observatory, Chopin and about a thousand other artists.
  
  SH: What would be your advice to new artists who are just coming into the music community?
  
  TS: We consider ourselves pretty new on the scene, but advice we try to follow is to remember it’s all about the fun. We just focus on making music we like and trying to get better at it.
  
  SH: What can fans expect of a live Tiger Suit show?
  
  They can expect to hear some exciting new fusion, to dance their faces off and to become a better person. (Just joking about the last part.) Seriously, people can expect to have a good time.
