Tiger Saw was founded in the coastal city of Newburyport, Massachusetts in 1999 by Dylan Metrano. Their early albums explored a beautiful, hushed, slowcore sound with prominent male/female vocal harmonies and cello. Their third album, ‘Sing!’ (Kimchee Records) introduced Tiger Saw as more of a collective, then including White Hinterland’s Casey Dienel, Dirty Projectors’ Nat Baldwin, K Records’ Jason Anderson, and many others. These songs were sing-alongs, written with, for, and about the community of like-minded friends with whom Tiger Saw had been sharing stages. The band at this time could be seen with over a dozen players, including a small choir. These simple, heartfelt songs celebrated friendship, community, and love in all its forms.
With their next album, 'Tigers on Fire', the band’s sound evolved into what they’d call “basement soul”, a DIY take on soul and rhythm & blues. Working with a horn section and extra percussionists, they sang of the everyday ecstasy to be found in sweaty house parties, old funk 45’s, and dancing all night to your favorite songs. It wasn’t exactly soul music, but it was a passionate love letter to soul music, and still undeniably and uniquely Tiger Saw.
Tiger Saw has toured extensively in North America and Europe, and is known for playing unorthodox venues from beach bonfires to treetop sing-alongs, as well as basements and barrooms from coast to coast. Tiger Saw has performed hundreds of shows with many bands, including Grizzly Bear, Kimya Dawson, Jens Lekman, Jad Fair, Laura Veirs, Magnolia Electric Co., Explosions in the Sky, The Gossip, and Man Man.

just a lil reminder about the upcoming Ponies in the Surf CD release show at PA's Lounge this Saturday, June 28th. We really like the new record (double CD!) and hope you can make it to the show.
Hey! Sorry, I wont be able to make it to the Prince Achmed shows, I wish I could, I'm sure they'll be great, though! I had an awesome time playing with you and NY and if there's any time before your hiatus, I'd love to play with you again! If not, then when I'm home from SC in the winter or something, maybe?
So here it is in EPIC proportions - "The Dusty Tales". The first main release on Dust Wind Tales. It features 25 bands/artists from the UK, USA & Europe. From fingerpicking beauty to wild drone. From tales captured in the moment to crafted vocals that carry you to a new place. This is music that will inspire you...
The compilation features on 2 white faced CDs held in a yellow & brown spraypainted half size super clear dvd case. There are 2 inserts (featuring an exclusive or famous quote by each band) & a Dust Wind Tales badge (made especially for this release) to accompany the CDs . This comes wrapped in a brown paper bag & be held togetherby some "yee old bali twine"...
