Hey Tiger is a radio-ready, versitle rock band; blending elements from a wide range of influences into a focused original sound. Hey Tiger has already made believers out of rock fans at home in New Jersey. Last year, they won the “Have a Nice Gig” contest sponsored by New York's WPLJ-FM whereby the station selected the area's best unsigned band. That achievement resulted in an opening slot at Bon Jovi's July 18th performance at Giants Stadium. They also performed live on The Big Show with Scott and Todd for over 1 million listeners and were featured in a segment on NBC's Extra. September, the band's debut full-length, feels like a record made by a band already at the top of the charts. They've managed to capture a million-dollar sound on a shoestring budget. Led by the catchy "I Don't Mind" and the drum and bass groove of "Elizabeth," it's a varied, ten-song set of emotionally-charged, flawlessly-executed rock songs. Christina Alessi simply owns everything she sings: spitting fire and singing seductively, expressing passion, longing, regret, and excitement with unique confidence. The vibrant rhythm section of Jim Lovegrove (bass) and Joshua Bicknell (drums) coupled with the tasteful guitars and production of Wayne Dorell provide the perfect platform for Alessi's voice. She drives the songs, telling her stories of heartbreak and romantic fulfillment with the assurance of a young Nancy Wilson. The band has written a stack of new songs and is currently in the studio recording the anticipated follow-up to September .
