Mannequins Vs. Tigers!
New York City may have many nicknames -- The Big Apple, Gotham City, Land of a Thousand Smells –- but “Tiger City” is not among them. Still, the Brooklyn-based young upstarts from Tiger City went ahead and named their band just that, convention be damned! The group’s MySpace page features a photo of the quartet playing arcade games, and well, they sound just like that -- extremely ‘80s synth pop-driven, and highly danceable.
Tiger City will be opening for a Friday, Jan. 12 show at the Darkroom , starring local scuzz-punk/garage group Mannequin Men, whose recent release Showbiz Witch, was deemed by cmj.com as one of their editors' top picks of 2006. Pretty fancy.
DJ Mother Hubbard and DJ Dufour Play round out the bill. The cover is only $5, and the show kicks off at 9 p.m. Call 773/276.1411 for more info.
