The Republic Tigers Invade Spaceland

Kansas City up-and-comers and Filter favorites The Republic Tigers blew the Spaceland crowd away in LA last night as the opening band on one of the last stops on their tour before heading home to gear up for their upcoming trek with Nada Surf.  Filling the small space with their big sound, the Tigers played a bevy of songs from their debut album Keep Color, including their standout single "Buildings & Mountains" recently featured on ABC's hit show Grey's Anatomy.  Your good friends at Filter were there to snap some live photos and even a live video of their performance, in case you missed it.  Check it out below.  Don't forget to tune in to their first-ever late night appearance on David Letterman May 22.  Come back to LA soon, Republic Tigers, we already miss you!

To be honest I thought it was pretty fucking shitty that the Republic Tigers came all the way out from Kansas City and ended up playing first in front of 3 other Los Angeles bands. I couldn't even get off work and make it to Silverlake in time to see them, they literally started at 9pm. Also, take in consideration the tigers just played the Morning Becomes Eclectic, just released an amazing full-length album, they've had their songs on television shows and last night they played on Late Night with David Letterman... so yea Spaceland, make them open up for the 3 average LA bands that don't have any of that shit going on... SOOOO LAME of you Spaceland, that was so super fucking lame.
