I can’t say Dark Tower is my favorite song on Miniature Tigers’ 2010 album Fortress – that distinction belongs to Rock N’ Roll Mountain Troll (which is even better live) – but it does seem like a perfect fit for the band’s performance for Yours Truly, which was unveiled earlier this month.
The song’s somber mood settles nicely into the chandelier-adorned atmosphere of a room at Kitsch Gallery in San Francisco. I’m also mildly curious about what movie/images are being projected on the wall behind the band, but I suppose that’s beside the point.
Mini T’s will make what is sure to be another triumphant homecoming on March 24, when they play Rhythm Room in a show brought to you by Psyko Steve. That bill includes locals Roar (who recently did Daytrotter) and Gospel Claws, Los Angeles’ Pepper Rabbit and Alvin Band (the brainchild of Miniature Tigers drummer Rick Schaier).

Think he’s any good? There is an event called Sunset Sessions Rock! in June in San Diego. It gives indie alternative bands a chance to play in front of big radio stations from across the country, music supervisors from film, tv & ads, video game programmers, managers and record labels. It costs some dough to play like (2-8k), and you have to actually be good enough to get picked, but it’s a once in a lifetime chance to get in front of all these music industry people that can completely launch a bands career. February’s Sunset Session had 45 bands play to 800 music biz people. Check out info at http://www.sunsetsessions.org to see how to get your band, or a band you think has potential, in.
