Try to imagine the nicest little cutest little boy, just adorable in his school uniform hat jacket and shorts with the knobby chubby knees and whatnot, walking to school and running into some walking fucking sharkdudes that Moitalize the kid to all hell - just make a Mess of him, when outta nowhere comes Kendall "The World's Happiest Unicorn" (who was smokin' Ice behind the school toolshed) breakin' off some with his 'corn' into the sharkdudes and touching his magical bloodied corn into the boy's remnants, making him whole again, then our boy climbs on Kendall's back and they ride into the sunset, where school is cancelled all the time. The End. This is what my pastor said we sounded like, anyway.
Your Loving Tiger: some called us 'avant-garde children's music,' others called us 'The Fugazi of Ragtime,' some said we were brave and brilliant boymen, others 'weirder than [we] really are,' but most bastards didn't call us anything, anytime, anyhow :( those saturday nights sure were lonely!
So now, 'in a coma' you say? Well, Bob's the guy who sings and writes the most and he went home to Pennsylvania to dry out and get fat for an unspecified period. Thus, we find ourselves in a haze or happy dreamland or whatever a coma is..
Fortunately, we got in the studio in Spring '06 and made a time capsule of our odd little lives in this place and time - it's called 'What Gives.' And for a small sum ($10 plus s/h) you may understand what we were trying to do with the free time from our shitty jobs, what helped us wake up in the morning - something we thought was worth creating and hoped somebody gave us the chance to shareblahblahblah. . then we got drunk and hit bad notes and got kicked out of the 400 Bar for telling off the owner. . as they say Up Nort, that was 'mint.'
In conclusion, friends if you like and/or miss us and want us to play again fork over the ducats and buy our pretty alright album. If you won't take our word for it, check out some reviews from various nerds in our blog if you wish - and oh yeah, thanks for visiting.
