Yo kids. Check out our video for Disco Punk Electro Funk, released 14th May.





“It all started as a mess about.” Well, that’s how The Tigerpicks’ last biography began before the teen trio felt it necessary to go off on tangents involving the babysitting of foxes and antique pianos. Fast-forward a few months and it all got a touch more serious.
Just four gigs into their fun-fuelled project, in fact, and the sometimes Liverpool/sometimes Manchester-based band had been snapped up by Deltasonic with their youthfully-crafted electronic gutter-punk demos also attracting much press attention.
Swiftly recruiting studio boffin Richard X (M.I.A., Pet Shop Boys, Annie, Sugababes, etc) and this Lancashire-reared team commenced the assembling of the Human Flute - The Tigerpicks’ upcoming first album.
Yet even before their ‘Disco Punk Electro Funk’ debut single hits both the virtual shelves of your local iStores and the less sci-fi record shops of the humble high street, other tracks including ‘Burn Me Out’, ‘Pow Pow Pow’ and ‘Crazy Juices’ have emerged as electrock ‘n’ roll anthems courtesy of the threesome’s beautifully shambolic live shows. With megaphones, asymmetry, neon, glitter and lost shoes galore, these breakneck performances also offer a glimpse of The Tigerpicks’ alternative universe: a place where Mother Nature appears to have been usurped by lesbian murderess Aileen ‘Monster’ Wournos and Le Tigre, Peaches and Fischerspooner litter the landscape alongside The Ramones and Liars.
Shrieked, hollered and – get this – sung anti-songs are then brought to life by dual frontwomen Frankie Ross and Emma Leatherbarrow with synth starlet Martyn Anderson taking control of buttons and keys plus a mysterious instrument known only as ‘Maude’. Now spotted everywhere from the stage of Ladytron’s club night to the dancefloor of digital pop session Clique (via just about any city with a half-decent, booze-stocked venue), The Tigerpicks’ ‘mess about’ continues to spiral out of control.


Danny McFadden, April 2007


"The Rapture + Bis x the sound robots make when they die divided by disco drug abuse = this genius racket " - NME

“A riotous blend of incoherent lyricism… be dazzled by their brilliance” - M.E.N

“A sight for sore iPods… sex-and-violence obsessed glitter-enthusiasts who sound fantastically like a less Third World CSS” – Attitude

“Brilliant trashy perky pop punk that’s wild, wired and furious” - Disorder Magazine

“The Tigerpicks ooze glamour, camp and cool… the Gossip gone electro” - NME

“The most talked about band in Manchester… more requests that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the Gossip…” - Designer Magazine

“Turbo-charged arrangements with equally off-kilter, explosive re-enactments” - Metro

"You will need energy in abundance to keep up with them and join in the high jinx" - FREE Magazine

"The finest example of a band who've sprung from nowhere, but already look the finished article… two girls and one boy, and a music manifesto which rewrites the indie dancefloor rulebook…" - M.E.N

“Likened to his big cat cousins the lynx and puma, the Abyssinian is only wild at heart” - Your Cat magazine
