ABOUT THE TIGER AND ME
The Tiger and Me create indie-pop music as seen through the looking glass of European folk songs. Three lead vocalists lead a troupe of multi-instrumentalists from gentle folk melodies through to riotous frenzied waltzes, with a wink and a nod to the old cabaret den and speakeasy tradition.

ABOUT THE EPISODE
The energy and visual splendour of their live performances were one of the original inspirations of the Sideshow Alley project. Their snappy dress sense and all around handsomeness screamed out for a permanent video record. This meant we had to do something special. Something different. Something that would be stupid to attempt with our no rehearsal policy.

"Could we walk through the alley, while playing?"
"Sure. Do you reckon you can get to this corner, by this point in the song?"
"Guess so"
"Then this corner by this point in the song?"
"Of course"
"Well then lets throw lots of cameras at it and see what happens..."

It was cold, very cold. Those fingerless gloves aren't just to look cool. Don't let the sun flares fool you. But we were warmed by a strange electricity in the air. An electricity mostly generated by nervousness, as both band and crew were attempting something new. New and scary. We have a moving band, a road crossing, a barking dog (we threw beef jerky to him) and multiple locations that need synched audio. Not to mention preparing the extra surprise for the end of the song. None of us have much memory of the 5 minutes after "Action" was called. But it seemed to come out of the edit suite pretty great. Pretty damned great indeed.

What ? Such a stable video and no stabilizers used ? Only holding the tripod ?

[SideshowAlleyTV]

@oliazadehali The first/main moving shot is on a Glidecam, kinda like a steadicam, but everyone else is just hand held. Its all about holding your breath ;)

I'm having a hard time finding this album where can i get it?

[SideshowAlleyTV]

@Ashworth20 You can buy The Tiger and Me album "From A Liar To A Thief" from iTunes.

Love it all, just wondering what you use to record audio, was it Mini disc by chance?

[SideshowAlleyTV]

@carl1964carl Nah, all solid state stuff. A combination of 2 x Zoom H4n and 1 x Marantz 661. Lots of radio lapel mics on the vocalist and the quieter instruments. Plus a stereo mic and a shotgun. The movement caused some phasing problems in the mix, but our audio guys did a fantastic job as usual.

The whole production is outstanding. I would love this creative style of media to take over the profit driven industry that reaches the vast majority of the population. I'm sure more than one would share the same idea. Media like this triggers the audience to go beyond the obvious, and reach the artistic side of the production. It's just lovely. Mark my words, I'll do something to make that happen. Cheers to the team, I would love to work with you guys at some point.

I sub to this cause the idea of just playing in any back alley is AWESOME. Can't have all that stupid vocal equipment and it reminds me of the street artist that are amazing but will die poor and unknown.

[TinaVonRotterGames]

Makes me think of Moulin Rouge for some reason :)

Love it!
