The Tiger & Me are architects of sing-along good times, dark-edged pop-leaning folk and side-leering swagger. Their feverish live shows wring the full gamut of emotion from their audiences as frenzy gives way to restraint and menace becomes charm.
The Tiger & Me exploded onto the music scene in 2010 with the launch of their debut album (From a Liar to a Thief) and subsequent performances at The Port Fairy Folk Festival, The Falls, The Apollo Bay Music Festival and Mullumbimby Music Festival. They have been booked to appear at The National Folk Festival and The Famous Spiegeltent in 2012.
In 2011 They released parts one (The Howling Fire) and two (The Silent City) of an ambitious trilogy of recordings that explore a descent into madness, the ensuing struggle, and the ultimate embrace of insanity. Part three will be released in 2012.
They have enjoyed high praise from reviewers for both their studio releases and live performances. The Melbourne sextet ignites the stage with a live show that is an event for any rampant feet out there looking for the ultimate place to whirl and stomp.

“The Tiger and Me's debut album is beautifully constructed and arranged, with marvellous momentum and a wonderful sense of adventure. A remarkable debut.”
Jeff Jenkins, MUSIC AUSTRALIA GUIDE (JB HI-FI)
“As fun as it all is, the Tiger & Me is a band of emotional breadth and it shifts effortlessly through the gears from brass-bright exuberance, ambivalent, Gypsyish energy and a delicate-to-the-point-of delicious sombreness.”

“Needless to say, I’m floored. That third EP can’t come soon enough; I need to hear more from The Tiger and Me.”
SOUNDS OF OZ
“The Tiger & Me play a winning hand - shuffling confidently between their many musical suits and moods. If you like your music articulate, expressive and theatrical, The Tiger & Me delivers it wrapped with an insidious arch of the eyebrow and a knowing wink.”
BEAT MAGAZINE
“The Tiger and Me’s sound is simply made for performing live. There’s no denying that the recordings are great, and all of the songs are beautifully crafted, but it’s not until you see them unfold on stage that you begin to truly appreciate the talent and passion these guys have.”
