Reindeer Tiger Team

I got home at 3:30 this morning. No matter how much sleep you get, when you come home that late, you're always tired when you wake up. At least that's how it works for me. Stafford put on a show at Nick's place where From Exile and Reindeer Tiger Team played. The show started later than we thought it would and, unfortunately, I had to leave before Reindeer Tiger Team played (Steven picked me up around 12 so that we could go over to Azul for Decatur Social Club). Reindeer Tiger Team is from Arizona and so they probably won't be over this way for a while. Both Nick and Todd said that they were "fucking awesome!" so I guess they were really good.

Reindeer Tiger Team consists of Steven Reker and Eddy Crichton. Steven plays guitar and sings, and Eddy plays the drums. I wish I had gotten the chance to see them play, although I did meet them earlier in the night and they are super nice fellows. I'm really impressed by duos. For two people to get on a stage and play so well that you forget that its just two of them is really amazing. Jucifer, The White Stripes, and Death From Above 1979 have all mastered this, and Reindeer Tiger Team can surely be added to that list. Well at least occording to what my friends told me of their performance last night. And I'm not friends with people who listen to bad music, so you can trust their opinions. Reindeer Tiger Team list Cat Power, Wire, and Shannon Wright amongst their influences. There's a couple of songs to listen to on their myspace page, so check them out.

You can purchase their 7" here and their debut EP here.
