Tonight (Tuesday, 8.24.10), Houston’s own The Gold Sounds play a show with Miniature Tigers at Mango’s Cafe.

Doors open at 8pm, showtime is 9pm. Tickets are $8 at the door or at Superunison.com.

Here’s more info on Miniature Tigers:

Miniature Tigers’ sound was forged in the bedroom of frontman Charlie Brand, only to quickly outgrow the space, with the band soon finding itself on stage, in the studio and signed to Phoenix’s Modern Art Records in short order. Brand’s lyrics – a mix of deeply personal insights and playful references to the disparate cultural artifacts that have informed his existence – and effortlessly constructed indie-pop arrangements have made fans in his native Phoenix and beyond. They stretch to Los Angeles, where he reconnected with drummer, collaborator and fellow charter member of the band Rick Schaier while living in Hollywood, and far beyond thanks to the Internet, which it seems people are into these days.
