About the Band

THE ROCKTIGERS

Riding the psychobilly bandwagon jump-started by the likes of TIGER ARMY and taking influence from the leather jacket Jet Rock 'n' Roll of GUITAR WOLF, Korea's ROCK TIGERS have gained a cult following at home while raising eyebrows across Asia. With pinup knockout Velvet Geena as the group's spellbinding center piece, THE ROCK TIGERS were invited to the 2004 Tokyo Big Rumble in Japan. After two notable albums, they recorded Rock 'n' Roll Licence and continue to host their own Kimchibilly Nights which showcase a wide array of subcultural acts and have captured the interest of rockabilly fanatics the world over!

PACIFICTION REVIEW:

Kimchi is a spicy pickled cabbage dish popular in Korea. It's tasty and has a kick which makes it a great hangover remedy! The same kinda kick can be felt nearly every month in Seoul City at THE ROCK TIGER's subcultural event Kimchibilly Night! The three songs on this EP serve up a punkabilly similar to TIGER ARMY or THE LIVING END, but with a Korean flavor. They are sung ferociously in Korean by the alluring Velvet Geena, with founding member Tiger who grabs the mic on the final rip-roaring number. Go on, try it! It's good for you! Taste the KIMCHIBILLY!
