Hailing from Kansas City, MO, The Republic Tigers spike their lushly orchestrated indie rock with organic and synthetic elements. Founder Kenn Jankowski originally moved to Kansas City in 1999 and began playing guitar for the People, a band that later changed its name to <a href="spotify:artist:4vnM612mTDlgCB5U4tlgCa" data-name="The Golden Republic">The Golden Republic</a>. He also made fast friends with local musicians Adam McGill and Ryan Pinkston; and when <a href="spotify:artist:4vnM612mTDlgCB5U4tlgCa" data-name="The Golden Republic">The Golden Republic</a> disbanded seven years later, he opted to launch his own pop-based project with the other two multi-instrumentalists. Taking their name from Jankowski's high school mascot, The Republic Tigers expanded their lineup with bassist Marc Pepperman, and drummer Justin Tricomi. Electronic structures began playing an important role in their music, and the band issued a self-released EP in late 2007 before putting the finishing touches on Keep Color, which arrived in 2008 on Chop Shop Records.
Then there was a cool EP in 2011 titled “No Land’s Man” which featured the emo smash hit “The Infidel” and the extremely fun “Merrymake It With Me”.
And then a second LP was concocted “Mind Over Matter” in 2012; but then and then and then it was sadly shelved.
A few secret concerts and announced concerts were performed from then until.... hmmmm.. like 2015 maybe.
Here we are now. The year is 2020. Something new is going to happen. You take the good, leave out most of the bad, and make the best of it.
