Kiss the Tiger
Over the past few years Kiss the Tiger has emerged as one of Minnesota's most dynamic and exciting live rock acts. Fronted by the magnetic and disarming Meghan Kreidler, this is a band that doesn’t just play. They combust. And watching them set the stage ablaze, it’s hard not to feel oneself release, too, like a collective exhale set to ratcheting guitars, buoyant bass lines and Kreidler’s perfectly pitched screams. Theirs is a clean-burning fire. Hell, you might even call it healing. -Andrea Swensson, author, podcast host, and music journalist 2024 has included many career highlights for the band including opening slots for musical heroes Lucinda Williams and Joan Jett. The band has also introduced new members Alyse Emanuel on drums, Lynn Hu on keys, and returning original member Alex Sandberg on lead guitar. The December Residency is an opportunity for the band to close out the year with you and share where they're headed.
The Controversial New "Skinny Pill"
The Controversial New 'Skinny Pill' is a band in Minneapolis, that does non-drowsy, hypnagogic, psychedelic social pop. Utilizing lo-fi straight-to-tape recording strategies, band lead Skyler Nowinski (Rupert Angeleyes, Loud Sun, Joey Joey Michaels) creates warm and woozy, wah-wah drenched, relentlessly rhythmic party songs and weirdo pop grooves joined by Mariel Olivera (XOXOTech, IE) on synths, Dan Dukich (Daniel Bonespur) on bass, Alana Horton (Alone-A, Tony Peachka, Bella Yaga) on drums, and Sergio Hernandez (Phantom Tails) on auxiliary percussion.
Since their 2019 release, Pencils Down!, the band returns, like most creative endeavors in this country, after nearly a year of cancelled gigs, soul searching, and rearranged priorities, with some new music and their first ever music videos to match. The new songs offer a more developed expression of the band's signature lo-fi mixture of restless guitar, jerky bass, squirrelly synths, and tumbling rhythms, all recorded at home, (this time on an early Y2K digital 12 track from a pawn shop) all to hopefully bring a bit of amusement to YOU, without being too corny or naive in one direction, or too fatalistic and didactic in the other direction.
