If your a fan of punk rock (like a lot of us) plus electronic dance music, you’ll definitely want to check out the musical stylings of St. Pete’s Tiger 54 who will be playing the Cantina stage at this year’s festival.

I first caught the 2 piece, lead by vocalist Lazer Mike, on stage at Born Free here In Tampa as part of the Lydia Lunch show, their mix of industrial drum sounds mixed with a powerful cocktail of synthpunk and raw vocal emotions took me back to the later days of seeing the Jesus and Mary Chain as well as the early beginnings of artists like Peaches whose performances rocked the early days of electroclash in Brooklyn, circa 2000..that was then, the future is now… Tiger 54….let’s go..!!!
