Tigerpicks

Hometown: Manchester. The line-up: Frankie Ross (vocals), Martyn Anderson (synths/keys), Emma "Reece" Leatherbarrow (vocals). The background: They're the synthclash Gossip. Ladytron meets Led Zep. Le Tigre produced by Moroder '77. They're into - and who isn't these days? - garish neon-pink electro-trash, filtered through an unhealthy obsession with Aileen "Monster" Wuornos (true). Or they are, as the title of their debut single so neatly puts it, children of the disco-punk-electro-funk revolution.
