Le Tigre
Le Tigre is an indie-rock band from New York that formed in 1998. Their music is heavily influenced by the rhythmic and vocal styles in both electro-pop and post-punk music. Though their material is frequently upbeat and danceable, the lyrical delivery and content communicates a strong sense of agitation and frustration, often political in nature. The band announced in 2007 that it would be going on hiatus for an undetermined amount of time.
