It’s about time we had more happy music. The world being what it is, full of pain, misery, death and last night’s pizza as breakfast this morning as you roll over on the couch wondering where you are (if you are indeed you), it’s right about now, more than any other time, that we need a band like Timid Tiger.
It’s not just being a little bit cheerful either, it’s a full on enjoyment of life explosion, ala the Partridge Family ohne Danny Bonaduce. If people around you were really into Mika or the Scissor Sisters, and you somehow held yourself from murdering them all with fire and knives directly because of that fact, maybe you can all find some common ground with Timid Tiger. They’re quirky and fun but sensible as well. Much like the adventures you’d have if you built a real working time machine.
The new album from these guys came out late Feb and the title track single Electric Island is in stores, Apple or otherwise, right now. Here’s the track, the gig details are below or after the jump, depending on which way you roll…

Don’t forget, Magnet Club has moved to Warschauer Str! The old Dot Club.
