As you know I live in Chicago and write about Swedish music. Rarely have I had the chance to write about a Chicago based band on Swedesplease. Of course you say, because that’s impossible. Well no, not really. The band Eight Bit Tiger are from Sweden but live in Chicago. They are making a name for themselves locally and are hard at work on their debut record.
Despite having “Eight Bit” in their names the brothers are more apt to ape the sounds of 70′s funk and 80′s pop than the video game fueled sounds of that subgenre. Here’s their song “Oslo”, look for their debut record in August.
