Tigertown

Tigertown are an Australian indie-pop-revival band from Sydney. They formed in 2011 founded around two sets of siblings.
Growing up in rural Australia, siblings Charlie (lead vocals, acoustic guitar), Crystal (mandolin, vocals) and Kurt (drums, percussion) started their musical careers promisingly early and the trio began touring local pubs and clubs at the age of 11.
Some years later, Charlie met Sydney musician Chris Collins (guitar, vocals) and the couple fell in love. Chris and Charlie began to write and perform together forming the basis for Tigertown.
Around mid-2011, four of their works were self-recorded over a weekend in Chris and Charlie’s Cronulla home. Kurt Bailey and Crystal Bailey joined the endeavor, as did Chris’ sister Elodie Crowe (bass guitar) and brother Alexi Collins (keyboards).
Pressed and released independently by the band, the Tigertown EP sold out of its initial pressing within weeks and immediately ignited support from music lovers around the nation. The colorful, desert-clannish video clip for single ‘Go Now’ became an immediate talking point. Self-released, it has received over 30,000 views on Youtube, displaying the band’s creative flair and serving as a perfect complement to the song’s lush vocals, guitars and drums.
Exploring the vast hinterland of alternative pop,
Considering the band’s natural chemistry, their music inevitably translated towards a live environment. Their very first live show in June 2011 at the historic Raval Theatre completely sold out, leading them across the country developing a groundswell of loyal followers. Backed by airplay from triple j and FBi, Tigertown shared their stunning live show to audiences on their own headline single tour and crowds supporting Husky, Matt Corby, Founds, Charlie Mayfair and Emma Louise.
Tigertown are due to release their follow-up EP 'Before the Morning' in September and was coproduced by Jimi Maroudas (Eskimo Joe) and mixed by Scott Horscroft (Little Red, Silverchair). The EP features their standout Australian single 'Lions & Witches' and 'Morning Has Finally Come'.
