Saturday, February 10 Tiger! Tiger!, Dan Melchior und Das Menace, 8-Track Gorilla & the Love Handles Little Kings The prolific and richly charismatic Buffi Aguero brings Tiger* Tiger! to Little Kings on Saturday, Feb. 10. Known for a long time mainly as that deadly cool Atlanta drummer chick from the Subsonics, over the years she has driven various projects, including the White Lights and the Vendettas, fifed Tiger! all of which were heavily influenced by '60s girl groups and rock-and-rollers. These bands have always been interesting, if sometimes more fun to watch than listen to. However, with Tiger! Tiger!, Aguero hits her stride. With a refreshing dollop of confident restraint, Tiger! Tiger! hurls a cohesive sonic menace that equals Aguero's tough-girl image (one that looks as if this chica could cut ya just as easily as flash ya that infectious ruby-red smile). Joined onstage by Shane Pringle on lead guitar, sax and vocals, Susanne Gibboney on bass and vocals, Sam Leyja on organ and Mario Colangelo on drums and vocals, Aguero snarls her vocals and phrases her lyrics in a sparse manner reminiscent of both Lou ReecTs Velvet days and the style of modem U.K. garage-punk doyenne Holly Golightty. With one album on the shelves—2005's Collisions—and another in the can for release later this year (both courtesy of Texas-based Chicken Ranch Records), Tiger! Tiger! rocks hard in a darkly bouncy way. Raising the difficult question of just who should headline, Dan Melchior und Das Menace also joins the fray. A U.K. transplant residing in Durham, NC, he emerges from the loins of the Medway scene made most recently famous by Jack White's fandom. Melchior has played with both Gob’ghtly and Billy Childish, and he infuses his own sound with hypnotic, primal blues; his appearance is a rare treat and well worth a Saturday night [Gretdjgn Wood] continued from page 27 Light takes its name from a pretty swell hidden track on an album from the band Travis, and the guys aim for the same Brit-styled emotional rock, though results are decidedly more mainstream-American. “THE HOOT” (Little Kings) Nestled into its wintertime location at Little Kings, the long-running monthly show case features the prime of the local folk scene, focusing on—but not limited to—the traditional.
