"Transylvania Baby" reviews:
"Initially coming off as a sort of Soundgarden-meets-Motörhead hybrid, the first taste of L.A. rockers "Who Rides The Tiger" can be a touch difficult to digest. When one delves further into that which is Transylvania Baby though, a whole new world and list of connotations arise. Yes, they are plugged into the detuned groove from a time when Kim Thayil was cool and they, as any self-respecting rocker should, have a soft spot for Lemmy. However, as the band embrace their grit and sleaze, it's clear they have far more in common with High On Fire and Fu Manchu than anything related to plaid and Doc Martens. Just shy of sloppy, more unkempt than Orange Amplification and with just enough menace to be unnerving, Transylvania Baby finds WRTT on the heels of apocalyptic dirt metal's new guard." (Exclaim.ca)
"On the first listen, Transylvania Baby presents itself as a sleaze-rock gem, with distortion, feedback and sludgy guitars steering the course. With swaggering confidence, malevolent imagery and a sexy tone conjuring images of a cheap, tawdry motel, Who Rides The Tiger cuts a deep line in terms of first impact. The audio serration disappears with repeated listens as songs overflow from one to the next and the formerly pungent, gritty taste is diluted. Individually, songs like “Geronimo”, “Cut You”, and “Where The Sidewalk Ends” are heavy and amped with raw emotion and a dirty, inviting lust. In small doses, the dizzying and dark mood is irresistible." (Beatroute Magazine)
Long time man. I see you are playing Thee Parkside. I am living up here in S.F. I am playing there later this month. When you guys come play I will have to come say what's up and have some drinks.

What’s up, most wonderful, wonderful Who Rides The Tiger! We hope all is well with you. Do you have a porcupine? Panic Movement sends greetings, hallucinations, and thanks from the planet Jupiter. Happy Holidays to you! Have a kick ass New Year! We have received the following advisory and have passed it along to you for your convenience: TOAD LICKERS BEWARE: The latest way to get high is toad licking. A popular lick victim: the Colorado River Toad. What are carrots? When agitated, it secretes a hallucinogenic chemical through its skin. I forgot to take my medication. In order to get a smokeable sample, put the toad on a piece of glass (a pyrex baking dish works well) and rub the parotid glands behind it's eyes. Once there is a goodly amount of it, let it evaporate to a crystal, scrape it with a razor blade, place it in a glass pipe for smoking, and put your hands in a bucket of piranha fish. Okay - so, we're a little strange. We accept that. But live, we think you’ll find we’re pretty straight forward. Anthropology confirms this - so start some outrageous new religion and electrocute your neighbor's dog. This will lead to a lifetime of malingering, suspicious bodily injury, snail breeding, ice cream milk shakes, physics, and anthropod worship. Gouge out your right eye. We love you so much.
