Gustave Tiger

Gustave Tiger are a Hungarian art punk band formed in 2013. Starting off as a  power  trio  on  their  first  EP, Mitanni  Mares(2013),  they  were  quickly  joined by  the  brilliant  lead  singer  Erika  Szurcsik  for  the  first  LP, At The  Idyll’s  End(2014).  After  touring  with  the  album  in  Europe  and  an  appearance  at  SXSW 2015,  the  band  released  their  second  album, Chaste  and  Mystic  Tribadry in 2016.This  year,  the  band  released  the  video  single New  Light  of  Myanmar, which is a step towards the world of synthesized sound as well as a political statement against nation states.The  band’s  releases  received  outstanding  reviews  locally  (best  Hungarian album  of  2014 and  2016 on  leading  portal  index.hu)  and  internationally, earning their song Sister Sybaritea feature on the Rough  Trade compilation Counter  Culture  15in 2015, as well as radio airplay for the song Thermidor on BBC  Radio  1  Scotland in  2017.They  were  also  invited  to  European festivals  like Noordanpaunkin  Iceland, FAMA  Film  Festival in Swinoujscie Poland, MENT Showcase Festival in Ljubljana, amongst others.In  contrast  to  the  ambitious  production  of  the  studio  recordings and  the peculiar  aesthetics  of  the music videos,  the  live  shows  are  renowned  for  the immediacy  and  fire  that  brings  punk  to  life. Gustave  Tiger  has  so  far  toured Europe (appearing in Reykjavik, Laugarbakki, London, Manchester, Liverpool, Berlin,  Prague,  Vienna,  Krakow  and  Warsaw  as  well  as  touring  the  Balkans) and started operations in the US (Los Angeles, San Antonio and Austin at the SXSW festival). Their new album will be released in early 2019.
