Red Tyger Church - Free Energy (Alive-Total Energy)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

As their name would lead you believe (pun intended), the Red Tyger Church do kinda sound like a cartoon band. Like monkeys in house dresses and oversized sunglasses playing 2 stringed guitars and doing the frug, something exuberant like that. It’s sexy 60’s go-go revivalism (again!) with a heavy dose of white boy soul and gossamer, bliss rock wings. It’s a super-cult consisting of members of the Brian Jonestown Massacre, the Warlocks, the New Strange, etc. All those paisley n’ pin-striped Sacramento uber-hipsters in one place can only result in something slinky and kinky, so it should come as no surprise when I tell ya that Red Tyger Church sound like either a pre-disco Primal Scream or a post-disco Jesus and the Mary Chain. Or maybe an opium-laced Bell Rays. Basically, if Redd Kross weren’t hopeless, they’d sound exactly like this. I dunno how you join this church- although I suspect bein’ skinny and wearing a top hat helps- but if free-flowing pink and purple grooviness is your bag, than consider “Free Energy” your own private Sonic Temple.
