Five minutes with BIGSOUND 2012 performer, Tigertown.

"China came about when our bass player pointed out that the cheapest flights to LA stop over in Beijing. We had a contact over there, so we emailed him and 24 hours later we had five shows booked. I think it’s going to be a bit of a culture shock."

“Initially I didn’t understand the Pennywise deal, ‘cause I’m telling you, Fletcher Dragge is insane — he eats, shits and literally breathes Pennywise — his intensity is an amazing thing to behold. The guy should be running a prison gang, not being a guitarist in a punk rock band."

Gin Wigmore digs deep into her record collection to tell us about some of her favourites.

“We had a few road bumps last year... We all realised that we needed a small break from each other, which in a lot of ways has been really good for us for it’s allowed us to think back over the past year and what we had achieved."

"The birthing of Deep Heat, conceptually at least, came out of my realisation that people had managed to pigeonhole me as a serious, earnest singer/songwriter, which is fair enough considering the last record that I made."

"I’m looking forward to making a really ballistic, heavy record, to tell you the truth. Which is what I think this band does really well, you know?"

“We make music because we like it. We don’t have many goals or anything like that; we do it because we want to have fun.”

“You kinda spend a little bit of time underground and then you pop out again and just smash it – but the key is to keep the ball rolling.”
