CMJ 2010 Photos: Miniature Tigers @ Music Hall of Williamsburg


One of our favorite bands ever hit up the Music Hall of Williamsburg during CMJ. We totally had flashbacks of interviewing a young Mini T’s during their first ever NYC visit in 2008 at the festival. How time flys. We feel like proud parents. View all of the photos from the show HERE!

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

Freelance Whales Announce Massive Fall Tour

Freelance Whales are already having a great fall and it’s not even October.

The band’s music was featured in a promo for the redesign of a little program called Twitter. The video has been viewed over a million times already and features sightings of the Tweet bird in the wild and Freelance Whales’ “Generation 1st Floor.”

That would make for a pretty good month by itsel, but the band also released its new EP Weathervanes on Frenchkiss/Mom & Pop Records and released its first single (with video) in “Hannah.”

Neon Indian Heads West (Mostly)

Upon the release of last year’s Psychic Chasms heard the indie world over, Neon Indian is setting out on a tour in support of the slew of remasters and remixes that further champion his original effort.  Chasms is being released as a newly mastered deluxe CD and double vinyl edition on September 28th, including remixes and covers from Toro Y Moi, Bibio, Javelin, and YACHT.
