Feline electro-pop duo Lion Cut recently released a video for their new single “Tiger Bomb” featuring Russian dance moves, fiddle skills, and uncompromising lyrics such as:
“Making potions so some guy can try to get a hardon. Killing tigers is wrong. Drop a tiger bomb.”
Lion Cut will be celebrating the release at the Tin Can Ale House (1863 5th Avenue - Bankers Hill) on Friday, June 1 with proceeds benefiting the World Wildlife Fund’s “Save Tigers Now” campaign.
From the press release:
“By estimates, 100 years ago there were 100,000 tigers in the wild; today, as few as 3200 remain. Lion Cut’s solution? Release a metaphorical Tiger Bomb on the world that would effectively see the big cat’s numbers rise.
“Set in the snowy vistas of southern California, Tiger Bomb’s video sees Lion Cut pouncing about spreading their message, and converting a team of Bolshevik b-boys to join their tiger preservation efforts. To further raise awareness to the issue, Lion Cut is preparing a launch party at San Diego’s Tin Can, with 100 percent of the proceeds from the night benefiting the WWF’s Save Tigers Now campaign. An agreement with online distributor CD Baby, will also ensure that 100 percent of song sales are channeled to the preservation charity in perpetuity.
“Lion Cut was inspired by the 2010 Tiger Summit. Held in Russia and hosted by Vladimir Putin, the summit included representatives from each of the 13 countries comprising tigers' historical range, as well as representatives from a variety of institutions and foundations including the WWF. They set a goal that the tiger population in the wild doubles by the year 2022, the next Chinese year of the tiger.
“About Lion Cut: Natives of the cat planet Leonid, Zoltron Monsieur and Kittytron have made fierce music together for the past 3 years. In between performances and preservation efforts, they enjoy taking naps.
“About Save Tigers Now: Save Tigers Now is global campaign helmed by the WWF and actor Leonardo DiCaprio. Established in 2010, it raises awareness in the issues of deforestation, illegal trade and wild tiger conservation.”
