Eight Bit Tiger

A friend told me that upon hearing new music, he tries to not instinctively think of which bands or artists the music sounds like. I can see why. It's helpful to have a context, but too much provides a framework for the sound that might limit the way you hear it. Unfortunately, in the case of Eight Bit Tiger, I just can't resist. Saw this band last Saturday night at the Hideout. They do electronic indie pop very well. Their sound patches and prerecorded patterns are incorporated deftly into the live sound, meshing with keyboard and electric guitar drenched in reverb. But based on sound and style, I can't help but wonder...

Will this band...



become this band?



or this band?
