TIGA TALKS TO THE FINGER PRINCE FOR MTK!038

Angus Gruzman (THE FINGER PRINCE), who is currently on a European trans-dimensional journey in support of his alter ego, DREEMS, has literally just gotten off the phone with TIGA, who has landed on our fine shores to play MTK!038 in just a few hrs.

A hilariously bizarre conversation, transcribed below for your reading pleasure, ensued…

 

ANGUS GRUZMAN (AG): It was the coldest February in Montreal on record – what is your coldest record in Montreal ?

TIGA: I don’t really understand that question- but yeah it was so brutal this year it’s made me rethink life down to the core. I think secretly I always felt like when I die in a thousand years I will get some kind of bonus for having dealt with the cold but I’m not so sure about that now, on a few levels. I still love montreal but the secret is to go to Goa for 6weeks in the winter and Ibiza for 2months in summer. Cry for me.

 

AG: You were an avid ice-hockey fan as a young man. Was it the violence or agility that drew you to this ?

TIGA: It was the statistics.

 

AG: Have you ever written a song about your favourite player ? or perhaps a coach ? What would the hit be called if so ?

TIGA: Actually Hot In Herre was originally released as a b-side to my K7 DJ kicks 12inch – a-side of which was a track called Man Hrdina, which was a painfully clever play on Jan Hrdina, a totally midlever Pittsburgh Penguin. I also named Jespers Classic “forsberg loved the acid”

 

AG: Are you a gambler ? If so favourite subject/objects to gamble on ?

TIGA; I used to be. As a kid I loved it- I mean I really loved it and sought it out. I have it in my blood but two factors killed it off; one – I hate losing more than I love winning and two – it’s boring as fuck on a cosmic level.

 

AG: Cargo pants or stubbies when the sun gets too hot ?

TIGA: I don’t know what stubbies are. Are those shorts? I can rock pants when most men need shorts but I’m cool to rock shorts when the time is right.

 

AG: The perfect cap – its an eternal search for some. How has your journey been ?

TIGA: My journey has been a rich one- I wore the same “colonel” model army cap every single day to school from kindergarten to grade 4. Over the years Tokyo has emerged as my main source. I like a certain height- I can not deal with five panel. I used to like classic baseball too. I even tried a few rich guy style Hermes ones but you look mentally handicapped (albeit wealthy)

 

AG: You’ve just built your dream holiday pad – the last thing to do is decide on the centrepiece for the courtyard. Water feature? Rotunda? Nude sculpture of yourself?

TIGA: Some kinda giant incredible miniature tree with either a nice parrot (yellow Naped Amazon) or a nice delicate monitor like a lace monitor or something. I think u Aussies might even call me goannas. Stay real.

 

There you have it. Everything you never needed to know about TIGA. Thanks Gustavo!
