Pull Tiger Tail
March 25th, Glasgow Carling Academy
Tonight is Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly’s biggest gig to date, and as they roll into Glasgow they bring with them homebred darlings The Dykeenies and London’s new hopefuls Pull Tiger Tail. It would be very easy for me to say that the latter are on their way to greatness, and it would probably be a bit too obvious to compare them to bands like The Automatic and Bloc Party, so I will resist. Instead I find it more important to mention the under appreciated succession of power pop bursts they effortlessly churn out one after another, whilst failing to invoke much in the way of a reaction from the sombre crowd. In half a year's time when Pull Tiger Tail are the band that NME are whoring themselves out to, I'm sure that everyone here tonight will stake claim to being there first... but it's just a shame that the crowd couldn't give the trio the attention they deserve in the mean time. Songs such as ‘Animator’ and the new single ‘Let’s Lightening’ are sugar coated gems that warrant a warmer reception, standing as evidence that Pull Tiger Tail won't be skirting fringes for much longer.
