Feelin’ the Future: The Republic Tigers debut new songs at the RecordBar’s fifth anniversary
Until Saturday night, Kansas City hadn’t heard from the Republic Tigers in a while — about 8 or 9 months, as the band recounted at its show at the RecordBar. And we hadn’t heard a steady catalog of new songs in even longer: After the band debuted Keep Color in 2008 on Chop Shop Records — the source for the hit “Buildings And Mountains” — the Tigers had basically been coasting on its wave of success. Not any more.
The Tigers debuted a slew of new material at the RecordBar on Saturday in honor of the venue’s fifth anniversary. (Valient Thorr, Field Music and a whole treasure trove of local goodness played the venue’s four-day celebration.)
