"Tiger Suprise"

Suprise! They are as good as they look. Tiger Suprise will captivate your senses. The twisted and beautiful music will fill your blood with air; get ready to float. Beware to experience mindful explosions. Tiger Suprise, originated in the South Side of Chicago, brings a cerebral, yet an intrinsic groove you can't stop. Tiger Suprise is coming soon to the Empty Bottle Nov 5, 2007. Catch them while you can! - Chicago Reader

"Pleasant Surprise"

It's National Leftovers Weekend, and while the food you're downing may not be entirely fresh, the live music you check out can be if you're hitting up the Bottle on Sunday night for Tiger Surprise. Some of Chicago's finer players comprise this 5-piece ambient pop group, whose expansive song structures and pinpoint musicianship recall everything from Radiohead to Grizzly Bear to The Police. Flying a bit under the radar thus far, Chicagoist thinks that it's only a matter of time before indie heads and blogs alike are singing Tiger Surprise's praises from the end of every "dive bar" in the city, so get in on the ground floor. Don't fear any pretense from the stage, though...as the band's MySpace page asks in the "About" section, "What do you mean you don't like cerebral dance music...You don't want women there??"

Bio

Tiger Surprise cannot be summarized all to easilly as their sound is ever developing. However, they are fluid and surreal, catchy and simple- a blueberry pie... marbles and rainbows. Landscaping chord movements and humble melodies. Cinematic reprise and static electricity. Clouds and grand prizes. Smiles and good songs, memories and love. Mealoncoly frowns, ripe money and work. "Give the listener a fighting chance." "Let them have all the cake they can eat!" Structures exciting and unparalleled monumental faces. Electricute yourself. Sing songs...Tiger Surprise!
