WMSE Local/Live: Tigera

Tune in Tuesday, November 29 at 6pm for the latest edition of Local/Live featuring Tigera.
Established in 2021, Tigera is an alternative pop rock quintet based out of Milwaukee, WI. Taking inspiration from the forerunners of the garage rock revival of the early ’00s and pop rock outfits of the ’70s and ’80s, Tigera has developed a unique sound that flirts with danceable disco-adjacent grooves and over-the-top rock machismo.
In their short time writing and performing together, Tigera released a two-part EP, aptly titled, Part I (2021) and Part II (2022.) Their music tackles themes of love and self reflection in a seemingly autobiographical way.
Six short months after the band’s first show, they were voted Best Rock Band in the Shepherd Express’ “Best Of Milwaukee 2021” write-in voting competition. They’ve performed various major regional festival spots including Summer Soulstice, Electric Love Festival, and a mainstage performance at Summerfest.
Tigera also takes pride in helping the community. They often sponsor different charities at their performances with the mindset that if we are all together, we should gather with a purpose. In addition to their charity involvement, Tigera started the Milwaukee Music Village (MMV). MMV is a networking event and promotional group that helps bring the Milwaukee music industry together to foster new partnerships and support artists in the city.
Local/Live is made possible with the support of Third Space Brewing – You have your home, you have your work, but everyone needs a Third Space.
