An Indie Rock Jolt from The Republic Tigers on MBE
When the alarm went off this morning to wake The Republic Tigers for their early morning set on KCRW, it couldn’t have been a more appropriate tune – Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger.”
Guitarist Adam McGill was acting out the moment for MBE producer Ariana and me as singer Kenn Jankowski commented that he was still shaking a bit from the performance. Not only do artists have to wake up early to play our show – they give it everything they got! Today’s performance from these Kansas City musicians was a perfect example.
“Buildings and Mountains” will easily make my top songs of 2008 list. It is hits all the right spots – musically speaking. Nic was an early fan and has supported the band with airplay since their EP and now they have a full length out on Chop Shop Records.
