biographical info

 

* Go Ghetto Tiger get's top marks for authenticity on this eponymous outing . Featuring devastatingly gloomy synth riffs and irresistibly danceable drum-machine beats.
M. Usinger
( The Georgia Straight 2007 )


* Get ready to embrace your inner cheerleader - Go Ghetto Tiger has a new self-titled cd, brought to you by MarQuo blacQuiere, Super Jason and Skoty B. GGT's eclectic blend of guitar, bass and synth interjects playful drum loops, samples and melodic vocals which sometimes parallel and sometimes surpass their influences, among them The Faint or By A Thread to Radio Berlin, MJ and Prince. The sharp melodies of Deluxe Deluxe match its percussive instumentals, sparkly and frenetic. The track Kill City Kids' spooky electronic babblings build up into a delicate groove remininiscent of Soft Cell. The Spy and the Machete interjects punctuated basslines and jagged gits with casually heated lyrics, and tempo changes, from driven to diminishing, treading precariously on soft rock jams, but evading the chasm of cheese that made us leave 80's rock behind in the first place. Touch Response blends cold math-rock percussive precision with incisive guitar, mechanical synth, warm bass and vox and the acclamation that ties it all together - this is dancing. Let GGT take you back to the future.

* If youve been lucky enough to catch one of its shows, then you know the deal; GGT is unassuming and unpredictable, always keeping you guessing about where it might turn next.
