60 Tigres ( pronounced "sesenta tigres") from Moterrey, Mexico has released a new video from their second album, Garage (free download.) It's been one year since Rock y Roll Radio saw 60 Tigres. They were one of the finalist in the 2008 Sound & The Jury battle of the bands contest. The competition was fierce and all the talent was exceptional. The bands were hungry and were giving it their best effort. They all wanted that one available spot at the world renown Austin City Limit Festival (ACL) in Austin, Texas.
"As part of the Austin City Limits Festival, each year the organizers hold a virtual battle of the bands contest called Sound & The Jury. The grand prize includes a slot playing at ACL, among many other incredible benefits.
"Anybody can enter, with the first rounds of competition being determined by internet votes. After voting closes, the finalists are chosen by a panel of judges. The finalists then move on to compete at a showcase at Antone’s, where audience vote and an industry panel ultimately decide the winner."
60 Tigres played "Dentro de mi Cuerpo," "El Arma Secreto" and "El Yate del Amor" which incoporates Funk, Psychedelic, Latin and Punk sung in English and Spanish. Unfortunately, 60 Tigres did not win the contest but all the Latinos that voted for 60 Tigres and those that were present at Antone's that night all felt that 60 Tigres had already won because they were the only Latin band representing "la raza" that night. We were all proud and still remain proud of 60 Tigres and their success.
