Three Trapped Tigers was once just an idea in pianist Tom Rogerson’s head. It’s now a fully fledged, one of a kind, live electronica band that’s being hyped to high heaven. Along with Adam Betts (Drums & Electronics) and Matt Calvert (Guitar & Synths) the trio are being shouted about like no-ones business.
The reason for this? Not the usual reasons for this kind of hype, but the fact that they genuinely sounds like nothing else out there. With bases in jazz and classical it was only a matter of time that the band would look forward to find more contemporary experimental forms.
If you ever get the pleasure to see them live you will hear that they wear their influences on their sleeves. Squarepusher styles drilled beats, the fuzzy treated choords of BOC and math rock patterns of Battles. Keeping in the spirit of experimentation all of their 3 EP’s carry numbers rather than names, leaving the imagination to wonder what universe your ears are currently swimming in. A pleasure to watch and an awe inspiring treat to hear, Three Trapped Tigers are definatley ones to keep your eye on… If you’re interested in bookings.
