Miniature Tigers Flourish MHOW – CMJ

Agitated whirpool of mind-numbness. That is only one of the few ways we are able describe Brooklyn during its first night of CMJ. Williamsburg underwent a hurricane of Kevin Devine fans infiltrating the sidewalks and alleys outside the infamous Music Hall. Opening up,one of Modern Mystery’s favorite Brooklyn-based heart-throbs, Miniature Tigers set off the evening. The band injected the crowd with a dosage of synth-rock ripples,vibrating drum pulsations and nothing but tummy-fluttering guitar splashes. The boys’ performance impressed the locals as well as visitors,and eliminated themselves out of the prepackaged New York indie scene. Definitely one of the bands that is worth seeing during the CMJ madness.

Miniature Tigers have been keeping busy, and are preparing for their national tour in November.

Setlist:

Tropical Birds

Rock n Roll, Mountain Troll

Bullfighter Jacket

Egyptian Robe

Coyote Enchantment

Dark Tower

Lolita

Mansion of Misery

SEE YOU AT CMJ!

We’re going to be M.I.A. for the next few days during CMJ.

(Hopefully) we’ll have show reviews and photos coming in a good amount of the week. Otherwise hold tight and they’ll be up next week. We will be running around the festival day and night, so if you see us say hi. We have postcards, buttons and all kinds of fun stuff.

We will also be live tweeting at www.twitter.com/modernmystery

Also check out our CMJ After Party on Sunday!
