• Tuesday night shows in a town far from home are the kind of thing that can forever bond a band or tear the heart out of it. With the Bay Area's Tigon, set to hit the New Frontier in Tacoma tonight, there's no fear. Question this band's heart, and Bobble Tiki assumes you'll get your teeth knocked in - at least sonically. Bobble Tiki has read a lot of things from a lot of people on Tigon, taking in a lot of nerdy, over-zealous, rock-journalist descriptions of the band in the process - usually centering around some sort of Botch reference, some use of the word "chaotic," some use of the word "intricate," and a near certain reference to "emo," sometimes even with a D.C. thrown in front to show off. Read more on Tigon in Bobble Tiki's column here. - Bobble Tiki
