When you think of Athens, GA you think of Love Tractor… Ok, you should but you think of REM and so when the center of Twin Tigers, Matthew Rain and Aimee Morris, met while working at Mike Stipes restaurant Grit, it made rock and roll sense. They soon quit their respective bands and formed a new one…
Twin Tigers released their debut album in March of last year, the supremely excellent Grey Waves, a post punk moody, beauty, raw in quiet but compelling and gorgeous.
They are playing at Pianos on Saturday and Death By Audio on Sunday I plan to go to the Saturday gig. “Gray Waves” was remixed by Sam Fofarino of Interpol -ie they are hip. If you are hip enough to dig harbingers of broods to come, catch em.
