GREASY ROCK FOLK WITH A COUNTRY JAZZ COMPLEX

notes

easy tiger

easy tiger was born from the hard-living and enduring poverty of triumph that lived with singer/songwriters Dan Wean and Russell Baylin. After years of being embroiled within the emetic heavy handedness of the post grunge sentiments of their fellow musicians, they picked up their friend and bass player, Brian Barbier (Light FM), stuck him under their collective arm and traipsed through the mud toward self-actualization, arriving at a clean and well-lighted place.

In the process of making what was to become their debut album, Lonely in My Members Only, they were joined by Paul Knegten (Punsapaya), whose percussive and rhythmic skills are outshined only by the glory of his pyre-like headdress of red hair. The album, produced by the monstrously sweet Sean O'Keefe (Knockout, Fall Out Boy, Motion City Soundtrack), was recorded at Gravity Studios and Rosebud Recordings in Chicago, mixed at Smart Studios in Madison, and mastered by the impeccably svelte and demur Dominic Maita (Last Man On Earth; Loudon Wainwright III) at Sterling Sound in New York.

easy tiger is greasy rock folk with a country jazz complex. A mesh t-shirt of vocal harmonies float as wings upon the back of lush instrumentation that pays homage to the past while blazing trails of what could be; With each song driven by lyrical one-room in the back of the house reflections. And check out their side projects: My My My and O'Neill & Wean!

    I live in France and I didn't find this CD here. Thank you to send it to me. This CD is marvellous. I listen to this music all over my days and nights. Merci, merci, merci beaucoup...

  • Love this!!
    author: WrapAroundHead

    I have seen these guys live and enjoyed them immensely. I wasn't sure what to expect from the CD. I absolutely love it!! I would recommend this to just about anyone. I only wish they played live more often. What up, guys??

  • A hidden gem of a debut !!!!
    author: Manny Gomez-Free Lance

    In the aftermath of the grunge, hip-hop, neo-rap metal and American Idol-esque musical wastelands comes an unique sound from a Chicago musical band that reminds the listener that strong consistent songwriting is the appreciative core of good rock music. Easy Tiger is one example with an impressive debut that even left me floored. From beginning to end, LONELY IN MY MEMBERS ONLY is an adventureous, introspective jewel of an influential spectrum that reflects past, present and future genres. A recommended MUST to your CD collection.

    An anthology of songs this dynamic does not come together very often. Having worked with many pioneers from the Chicago music scene I would say this is reminiscent of the great indie bands of the late eighties;early nineties. Easy Tiger has a style all their own cooking in a classic rock soupkitchen with familiar tastes and flavours, serving authentic grooves and fuzzzzy warm hooky jams. kick ass on all levels. These boys wll be huge. SA

  • Easy Tiger!!

    I recently saw a live acoustic performance and was hooked. These guys are intense! The harmonies, ooh! I was given the cd that night and was shocked at the quality of the songs and how consistant the complete album was. There hasn't been a singer/songwriter group that is this good since dare I say The Beatles. Keep up the good work boys, and I can't wait for the next cd!!

  • Really enjoyed listening to this CD!
    author: C. Fennel

    Listening to this CD was a truly pleasurable experience. It is certainly original yet evoked the spirit of the Beatles as well as other influences. These are some talented musicians/songwriters, folks!

  • I'm Hooked
    author: Big Fan

    This cd is the best! I can't stop listening to it. I'm really addicted. You really gotta listen to it...you'll be hooked too!

  • Outstanding Music/ Great CD
    author: Radman

    This is a Band everyone should hear! In the car, at home or with earphones the music is a brightlite to the Chicago music scene.I picked the CD up at their show at the Elbo Room, and love their music, their stories and the wall of sound this group creates!

  • Easy Tiger just plain rocks
    author: Jeremy Bronn

    Lonely In My Members Only has tons of great music, with many diverse styles found from one song to the next. The use of different instruments adds an extra flavor to the already stellar abilities of the band's members. The style is primarily laid back rock, with well thought out lyrics and catchy hooks. This music can easily appeal to listeners both younger and older. You would be doing yourself a favor to pick this cd up.
