My Tiger My Timing are Anna Vincent (vocals/keyboards), James Vincent (vocals/bass/guitar), Harrison (vocals/bass/guitar) and Gary Drain (vocals/drums).
The band come from New Cross in south east London and formed earlier this year and are already receiving good reviews. They plan to make experimental pop music with strong rhythms and melodies.
They reference Fun Boy Three, Talking Heads, Arthur Russell and Orange Juice among their influences and like the new music from bands such as Plugs, Post War Years, Esser and Lykke Li.
“We are inspired by London, by our hearts, by buildings, parties, black holes and space, but mainly we love music. We put that love into our work so other people can feel it too”, said Anna.

This is a one off track recorded by Muse and featuring Mike Skinner of Streets on vocals. The song found it’s way onto the internet yesterday.
Commenting on the leak, Muse said: “The MP3 floating around on the message boards at the moment is a track we recorded with Mike Skinner a few months ago.
The track was the result of a late-night jam session and something we did for a bit of a laugh featuring a blues riff we have been playing live recently upon which Skinner recorded some vocals. It is not intended to be a serious release so we are happy for it to be leaked around unofficially. Hope you enjoy. Cheers, Matt, Dom & Chris.”
American rocker Kid Rock has scored his first UK number one with the truly awful All Summer Long.
The song has found it’s way to the top of the UK chart, having already topped the charts in Ireland for the second week.
This track makes me think of a poor mans Summer Of ‘69 by Bryan Adams, but without the originality of Adams hit. Kid Rock finds his inspiration in the piano chords from Warren Zevon’s Werewolves of London and the hook from Sweet Home Alabama.
But the songwriting is pretty abysmal and I am amazed at how this track ever got released.
Despite sounding as though Peter Andre should be singing a song called Disturbia, it is the latest release for Rihanna.
In keeping with the theme the video tries to be Disturbing with special effects distorting Rihanna’s face, but it look’s too sexy to be seriously disturbing.
The Saturdays are the latest girl band, formed by Fascination Records, the home of Girls Aloud. It seems the girls were chosing from auditions by the record company in July last year, although contract problems meant they could not actually get together until earlier this year.
Two of the girls, Rochelle and Frankie you may remember from S Club Juniors.
