PipemanRadio Interviews Tigercub at Aftershock 2023

0:04 Hey, you have done to censure? Wow crazy you whycoume America. It's time for the Adventures of pipe Man on W four c Y dot com. West pomp Beats is number one internet radio station. Here's your host, the HiPE Man. Listens the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe Man W four c Y Radio. And I'm here with Jamie from Tyger Cub and Jimmy from Taga Cub and say James from Tiger Cub. So I want to know one thing I never asked questions about, and like, how do you get your band name by? Why? No? Why nobody's hair is dyed Tiger colors?

1:11 You know what? No one's ever asked us that. See, that is the first question about Tiger's dyed hair, right, So what would it? What would that look like? It would be like orange with like orange back. Yeah, maybe it's purely a budget thing. The reason we don't have that, I mean, once we can afford instruments to stay and chune them, we can think about the haircuts. I hear you, because I just went back to regular color. I was blue and it costs a lot of fucking money, and they got it bleaching out. They did it and next thing I know, it's four hours later, four hundred dollars and it lasts two days. Maybe that's like the reason why we're not number one on the Billboard charts yet. It's because we haven't embraced the tiger pattern has right, if we all got the same one, you know what you need to you need like a tiger to come up on stage in mall one of you.

2:00 That'd be great. It's it's not very sustainable that though. It's sort of like one show and done. Well, you know what you gotta do that move on. You gotta bring in a new band member that's only for that show. Yeah, maybe we could, like if we could find someone that's willing to be like a sacrifice, right, then that's more sustainable. So we could play and then we could do a sacrifice take out stage. We can get a gig of that new sphere thing they've got in Vegas. I will willingly get moulled by a tiger. I think it would be such an incredible way to go. Well, you know, you know the dudes in Vegas they did get maulled by their tiger. Oh yeah, yeah they did. Yeah, right, so say it can happen anything can happen in Vegas, Okay, yeah, man, and Joey exotic as well, right, like, well he's Florida that documentary like his buddy got like his I'm bitting off, isn't it right? At the start? Well, how about he thinks that the other woman you know, fell her husband to the tiger.

3:07 Yeah what she called again? What she called? Yeah, that's Carrol Baskin. Carroll Baskin fander tiger to her, her husband to the tiger. This Joe Exiss actually with us, now, isn't he he is? He is? That was him right just then? That's right? Yeah, he should be your like new band member because that gentleman, Joe Exus. How's it going, Joe? Well, I tell you, man, it's it's really tough here in jail, okay, because I can't really go after Carroll Baskin anymore. And uh, I can't even run for president in twenty twenty four. I know everybody'll vote for me, wow, Joe. And what's the food like in prison? That is apple salute ship. It ain't like tiger meat. I can tell you that, Oh you you like tiger meat, But why would I do you know why I'm in prison. Wow.

4:04 Well first Joe Exach on the show. Everyone, Yeah, there you go. You like that, and there he goes he's gone. Now they brought him back to itself. Yeah, that's it for one night only. Right, let's talk about your music. Oh shit, are we in a band? Yeah? Right, See, that's why I love bands from the UK, Like they get this ship. Sometimes the American bands do shit like this and they're like, what do you mean? Oh really? Yeah, stock you gotta have that. You gotta have that English humor. Yeah, self deprecating, self loathing. British people tend to if we ever appear cool, it's purely by by accident, right, Yeah, there's no point trying, because that's a sure fire way to look like a complete cock. Or you gotta bite the head off of you gotta bite the head off a bat.

4:55 That's how you seem cool. From the UK. Yeah, yeah, the Aussie route right yeah, yeah, I don't know. If that, I don't know. If Ozzie, I don't know. Okay, So now Ozzie's on the show. Let's see if one of you can be Ozzie? Can you do that? Birmingham? Uh? What the fuck is going on? Man? He said, what's up, Bussy? Hello mate, Devin su sure, Hey, I'm Azzie. Why I bats? So? How would you describe your music as an artist? You know, not genre bullshit, but how do you guys think your music is? What do you What would you say if somebody asks you what are you all about? I think Tiger Cub combines extremes, tigers about counterpoint, so it's about really heavy back line, big dynamics some times whisper sung vocals, you know, just putting you know, direct opposites together. I would say that, you know, broad strokes wise sums up well, Tiger Cub try to do at least if that makes sense. That makes a lot of sense. I want also know, do you guys have a height restriction because you're tall as fuck? That's true.

6:18 Yeah, No one above six' ten is allowed in the bands because my ego can't handle it. So that happens if you're playing like why those little clubs in London and the ceiling's only like five foot? Oh mate, yeah for real? And in la we were meant to play a venue and they had to move it to Harvard and Stone in East hollywoods because I physically wasn't able, Like I didn't know this. I got told this, like the team in the background just like quietly, They're like, he's not gonna fit on there unless he's sitting down. So we had to move it. So it's like a real problem. You know. I like to jump up and down on stage and stuff as well, so you know, it's a constant risk. You have to learn how to you know, do it on your knees and jumping down off of your knees. It's like when you take your shoes off your feet and just like kneel on them. You should you could pull that move and then you know, and then how to jump.

7:15 And what were you guys skateboard going to say, Well, yeah, I mean it's pretty much what James said. Maybe shoes on the knees or we're just going to need like an excavation team to kind of dig a few feet out of that of stages potentially going forward, or like a hospital bed and I could just be like raised up or like I look like a Hannibal Lecter trolley that would be in it that would wheel like loaded on stage forty five degrees just to get the mouse out of the room. Is there is there a safe word when you want to come out. Well, not only like you could eat meat and pretend like it's a person, but it's really tiger cub meat. Yeah, it will be tight. Yeah, well we'll we'll get it from Joe Exotic. And I think it would be good as well if I was on the the hand of elector trolley, if it had some kind of like hydraulic system or like some kind of motor mechanism, so it could be almost like like a lighting rig, like a like a pyrotechnic sort of vibe where I could be like carted around. We could get out front of house engineer like you know, controlling me like a drone or like a risk car or something. Right, do you know? To you get what I'm saying, I didn't really articulate that very well, but you know you're just looking at me like what the fuck is this guy on about it?

8:26 I'm just letting you go on and on. Yeah. Yeah, So we'll get me and a Hannibal elected trolley and then we'll get Jallex on the Tommy Lee drum Rise upside down going around in such this is well, then now you would be you would be like way drive now yeah, yeah, this is actually a production meeting, that's right. Yeah, like the next tour. But can you do a tour with Parkway Drive? Can like auf Sis and British like do a tour together without killing each other? No? Yeah I didn't think so. I mean, if it's not the personal it's the alcohol world. Yeah, yeah, it just doesn't work. I'm not sure. I'm not sure which one of you as seeds are the Bridge drink more though, but I was married to a Bridge girl and she used to drink like fifteen margaritas every fucking night. That sounds about right. Yeah, we've all got quite healthy relationships with alcohol. Well, so thank god we have an open bar here, you know. Oh my god. I was side of stage for food Fighters Louder than Life Festival the other Dunny Wimen Festival.

9:30 I know, it was a free bar as well, and I was just double fisting all night. And I regret it so much because I just I was there physically for food Fighters, but I was barely able to fucking stand up, do you know what I mean? I just don't remember. You thought you were at a Taylor Swift concert, right, yeah? Yeah, so I didn't know what the fuck was going on. Man, it's crazy. Well that's cool. You know, some of the best times in rock and roll you can't remember. Yeah, that is the beauty of it. You know, you're you're aware you were there. Your camera roll says you were there. You know, I'm pretty sure I was there a bit like today on stage, Like that stage up there was so good, damn hot. My body was just using all of its resources to stay up right. And I'll process what happened in the days to come. It's just the way it goes. Yeah, I mean it's really warm. It is brutal for artists. I keep saying that, like, oh my god, I'm glad I'm not artists up there and this ship. Oh for real, man, it's a whole thing. Like there's new forces that come into play when you do festivals like this. Like our first US festival was it was Welcome to Rockville, Florida, and I was at that right right, So we nearly got rained off. So like we got on site it was like one pm and then there was a storm rolling through and production were like we might have to pull your set, so we were like, oh no, and then like right at the last minute, they're like, no, it's good.

10:50 There's no tornado anymore. You're good to go. That's so Florida and I I didn't have a fucking clue how hot it was going to be on st We played at midday in Daytona, and I wore a fucking turtleneck on stage. Nobody wears a turtleneck in Florida. Ever. I was getting cussed out. Man. I was like, why are these people shouting at me? Oh? So I've got the Ron Burgundy thing going on stage. It was so hot you can't see your pedals, right, you can't. Like there's so many like weird things that come into play with those vessels. And today it was kind of similar, yeah, more like Florida weather. But meanwhile I did download and Bloodstock. I wanted to go home to Florida to cool off because it was so freaking hot this year. So it was yourful.

11:35 It was Florida, dude, not cool man, I know, right, don't do that. You can't import weather into the UK. You know, you guys talking about alligators. And I was parking near Bloodstock, and where I was parking, there's like all these fox I'm like, should I even get out of the car. They were just randomly walking around. There's a pub right where my hotel is, like part of it, a real cool place. Like I think they just hang out at the pub. That's what they do. English fox hanging out the pub? Is it? Did you say frogs or fox? Fox? Fox? Fox? Fox? An English fox? Was that the pub? No, there were a bunch of them at the pub at the pub what drinking? Maybe? I think they were stucking me. See the thing is they're annoying. Now the foxes are getting more confidence, yeah, getting less scared a few. I mean there's like a residential neighborhood right by there. Yeah. Man, the exceptions becoming the rule now. I think we need to take a stance. I know that's quite tory, actually, isn't it Back in the UK at the moment, Like you can open up your fridge at home and there'll be a fox in there. You know you're coming home if there's two or three of them, like they're they're behaving like organized criminals now the fox is Yeah, I don't know. I think we just need a treaty or a truce. I'm sick of it. Personally. I think their penises are barbed so that when they when they make things. Yeah, I think there's some experience here after a lot of alcohol. What I never knew that. I deduce that that penis

13:07 is abobbed because when they mate, they make the most horrible sound. It sounds like a cat gang, like disemboweled or something. Well, why why did you do that to her? I'm sorry, I don't know why. I don't know why I went there. Oh, I'm glad this interviews now in not a few hours from now, because it's only they get worse. Yeah. Yeah, but that's why I love English people are fun to talk to you because you just never know what's gonna come out of your fucking mouth. Come on, this has been an illuminating and fun interview. Well that's going to ask you a question. I'm originally from New York, so I won't claim Florida. Are you Florida? Man? I fucking do not associate with Florida. Okay, I live there, but I'm gone more than i'm there because we just want to find Ordman. We want to know who he is. I don't think you do. Okay, I've interviewed him, and you might, I might, you might not not. Is he like Banksy, he's hidden, id is he like? Banksy said James, Yeah, he's actually Nico McBrain because he lives because he lives in Boca and has a restaurant there. Nico no way, Yeah, holy shit. In fact, one time this girl is dating, she was at this little club in Fort Laurerdale. It's called Cheers, and they do like this punk rock karaoke thing,

14:39 they call it Scaryoke. And she's out there. She calls me up, but she's like, man, there's this really good Maiden cover band playing. I'm like, that's cool. She goes inside, she calls me back. She's like, you're not gonna believe this. It's fucking Iron Maiden and the club is smaller than this precedent. So they just showed up and did a fucking show. They were about to go on tour. That was their warm up. I love that, right, I love that. Were they good or did they suck? No? She was like they're a fucking badass, Like how could they beat that? Who's playing tonight? The Shitty Beatles? Are they any good? Right? No? They suck? Where are we going to the bottom? Well, it's crazy, man, you guys, rocket Is there anything else? You want to tell the listeners that we haven't covered a new stuff or anything. So our third record, the Perfume Decay, came out in June. It's available now to stream everywhere, available to buy on Loose Groove Records. Who I've got to give a shout out to. It's Stone Gossards, Billy Jean, and Reagan Hagar, all absolute legends and all just huge people in our lives and we're so grateful to them for putting out our records. So I'd just end it with a plug.

15:52 I love that plug. And you even like made me think of Michael Jackson because you said, Billy Jean, I know you were going to have to break out and sing that song. Yeah, I know, it's crazy. It's crazy. I don't really feel like I have access to make Michael Jackson. I can't even do it. Like, what was that? I don't know. It was a Fox It was Fox Baby, Yeah, Michael with Michael Jackson. That you could have a career as a Michael Jackson tribute artist with a Fox. Yeah, with a bobbed penis there it is. I think we need to end it because it's getting bad or it's getting good.
