Get Ready To Witness The Tiger Flowers Three-Ring Circus In Your Town
Here at MetalAintNoThang, we are friends and fans of artful post-hardcore showstoppers Tiger Flowers and the insane music this singular band creates (and lest we forget, they made the best music video of this year).
I myself have previously referred to vocalist Jesse James Madre as “the best frontman in the Brooklyn metal scene” and this is no exaggeration — the dude can scream his face off and entertain you for weeks with his shtick/not-a-shtick Andy Kaufman-esque sardonic wit and banter.
But a frontman doesn’t have a leg to stand on without a solid band supporting him, and this band — featuring drummer Dan Miccio, dual-amp guitarist Dean “Chooch” Landry, and the one-and-only William “the Sexxxican Mexxxican Cowboy” Gomez on bass — is no joke whatsoever.
These songs snarl and spit while retaining a true sense of damaged beauty throughout; Tiger Flowers clearly understand the importance of contrast and dynamics in music, and the ferocious tunes often find a way to sneak in lilting passages of downtime that serve to accentuate the frenetic, chaotic heaviness perfectly.
Now you have a chance to experience the awesome might of a Tiger Flowers show, since the band is taking its jaw-dropping show on the road for the following tour dates:
