Tiger Trap Warm Up A Chilly Day
I never got to see the Sacramento indiepop act Tiger Trap live, thanks to the confluence of my stunted age during the height of their popularity, the oppressive 21-and-over door policies of Chicago’s finer rock clubs, and the fact that their collaboration sputtered to a halt after only one full-length, an EP, and a handful of one-off tracks for seven-inches and compilations. This clip of them performing the lovely, lilting “Words And Smiles” from their LP was uploaded to YouTube a month ago, and it’s making me even more sad that I never chalked my license back in the day. So many regrets! [YouTube / MySpace]
