"Melbournians The Tiger and Me are a Triple J Unearthed act that are renowned for their cabaret, 1940’s- inspired sounds and circus-themed live performances.

Their new single Big Trapeze fits right in with the circus imagery and has a very romantic, European feel to it. They employ a vast array of instrumentation including violin, piano, accordion, upright bass and banjo. With both a male and female vocalist, you’re in for a treat with the charming vocal interplay between Jane Hendry and Ade Vincent. Big Trapeze makes me want to waltz with its 3/4 timing and big band stylings. It’s good fun and very easy listening.

The B-side on the single I Left The Wolves opens with a trumpet solo, which is followed by Ade Vincent’s deep, rich vocals. Their music reminds me a lot of other Melbourne groups like The Spoils and The Orb Weavers with its folk, roots grounding combined with a touch of country and a theatrical element. If you enjoy the sounds of acts like Beirut and Angus & Julia Stone then be sure to check out The Tiger and Me.

The Big Trapeze single launch is on at the Curtain Bandroom in Carlton on November 7th."

A big thankyou to everyone who has been voting for us in uncharTED - we are currently sitting sixth! The top six (as voted) go through to the next round, with four 'media picks'. If we can stay in the top six for three more days we will move into the next round where we'll have a 1 in 10 chance of a gig at Splendour in the Grass and twenty five large. So again thanks to those who've been voting, and for anyone else, if you need more incentive, you can win tickets to Splendour in the Grass. Jane won two tickets. Seriously she did. I think this is very funny. All her friends have been voting for her band and SHE wins the tickets? Nice work Jane. If we win we will donate the tickets to someone on this list. Actually Jane won the tickets, who am I to be bandying them about like they're mine?

There are three days of voting until the next round, so let's keep it going. Vote vote vote. Vote.
