So Kia...the maker of fine Korean cars with 10 year warranties (that you will need since they are worth $5 as soon as you drive them off the lot ;-...just kidding Kia's are awesome) have put together a promotional tour called The Soul Collective that is hitting some of the major cities across the US, with each city getting 4 days of Kia Soul test drives and 4 days of free concerts. Each stop ha...

Mad props to new friend of the Perch, Kip, from the blog Digging for Days, for stopping by and indirectly introducing me to Miniature Tigers through his blog. Tell it to the Volcano is perfect summer music. Laid back, super poppy, love songs. I’d say the best comparison would be to Someone Still Loves You [...]

The first thing I heard about Miniature Tigers was the following quote from Austin Town Hall, "With a sound that’s poppy and pretty easy on the ears, these guys might just be the new Vampire Weekend you peoples are all looking for..." My interest piqued, I checked out the first single, "Cannibal Queen" from the band's digitally-released debut entitled Tell it to the Volcano. The song features.

On Thursday night, fun. played a sold out show at the Mercury Lounge in New York. They were incredible. Frontman Nate sang every song like it was his last and the crowd seemed much obliged to sing the songs back to him as well. Nate mixed in a couple songs ...

After posting a bit about Miniature Tigers a couple weeks ago, I decided I needed to hear their debut album, Tell It To The Volcano, as soon as possible. The record was released last year digitally and will be getting a proper physical release soon, but I wanted to write this review while the excitement of hearing the songs was still fresh in my mind. "Volcano" is a light-hearted, fun album ful...

Arizona born/LA dweller Charlie Brand has me believing (and I'm from Baltimore - the city of BELIEVING) in his band, Miniature Tigers. The debut album, Tell It To The Volcano, is ripe with EXTREMELY catchy and memorable pop songs that had me singing along by the end of the first listen. You could compare Brands [...]

Two points of interest to consider while watching Miniature Tigers Cannibal Queen Video: The opening is quite similar to Stevie Nicks' Edge of Seventeen. What does the use of a black mask for the cannibal character say about the way people associate seemingly deplorable acts with race? If their is some sort of subconscious, or deep seeded [...]

They say you can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep. I say you can tell a lot about a person by their music library (and their friends' music libraries as well). The connection that ties person to music to person has always intrigued me, and I've been trying to figure out the proper medium to explore this topic. Well about two weeks ago, with a little inspiration from 99 matters...

I mentioned how fucking superb Miniature Tigers' debut full-length "Tell It To The Volcano" was in passing amongst the mass of things I bought a few weeks back, and I'm sort of amused that my talking up of their "The Wolf" last year was the first thing anyone had to say about them on MOG. I just felt it was worth it's own post to point out how good and utterly listenable this album is.You shoul...
