Tigers Eye Archives - KUT & KUTX Studios

Earlier this year we helped introduce the world to Austin’s TIGERS EYE and today we’re keeping the marble rolling with their latest. To recap, this Austin four-piece is the passion project of frontman Jeremy Baker, an ex-pat of California’s Cydeways and a recent transplant. TIGERS EYE only made their streaming debut this past March, but in the short time since, have earned their stripes when it comes to stalking the grounds of indie, psych, and surf, all of which capture the silky lustre of their namesake.

If you’re eager to get some Eastside action ahead of the weekend, catch TIGERS EYE 10:45PM tonight at Hotel Vegas alongside Jenny & the Jetts at 10PM, Daymares at 11:30PM, and Killer Kaya a quarter past midnight. The occasion? TE’s third official single as part of the band’s full unreleased eleven-track album, “All We Ever Know”. Between the tune’s anthemic lead guitar riff, verses that slink through the intersection of upbeat and mellow, and choruses so smooth it almost hurts, it’s gonna be tough to break contact with TIGERS EYE’s newest chuff.

And as for the show tonight? Go get ’em, tiger.

It’s a new week and nearly a new month so might as well break into some new music, right? Today we have the privilege of premiering the first-ever studio single from a fresh outfit – Tigers Eye. Like their namesake quartz, this quartet has a more exotic appeal than many of Austin’s other musical marbles, thanks to their mining of indie, surf, and psych.

Tigers Eye’s spent the past year earning their stripes with a series of live performance videos, including several covers that tip us off to some of the band’s inspirations like Arc De Soleil, Velvet Underground, Jimi Hendrix, Allah-Las, and Khruangbin. And speaking of live performances, Tigers Eye plays their maiden single release show 8PM next Tuesday at Mohawk alongside Trace of Lime and Buzzard Company. So while we don’t have a concrete timeframe for when the group drops their debut full-length, we did just get our paws on the record’s first offering, “Goodbye Again”.

Clocking in at just under four minutes, “Goodbye Again” makes us ready to great spring and summer with a grin, thanks to an upbeat arrangement, driving rhythms, and super catchy melodies – all of which demand we keep a close eye on these cool cats moving forward.
