Miami, FL (Tiger Tiger Music) - Undiscovered Artists! is a division of Satellite Broadcasting Network, a European satellite radio company based in Italy.
Tiger Tiger (Lee & Stephen Tiger) is not an ordinary American rock n roll band! Inspired by the nature of the Florida everglades, their American Indian culture and Chief Buffalo Tiger (their Father) of the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, the brothers career highlights include initial recordings at Woodstock (later released in Germany on Sonys ZYX label).
Their love of music and performing has led them to international stages as feature artists worldwide including concerts in Spain, Germany, France, USA & South America. In the US the Tiger brothers rocked audiences with their unique native heart beat music at New Yorks Gas Light Lounge in Greenwich Village and the Rolling Stone Club.
From the east coast the band went on to hit the USAs west coast LA scene, performing at such well-known venues as Thee Experience on Sunset Drive in Hollywood, Whiskey-A-Go-Go, the Troubadour and Bag O Nails alongside such groups as Frank Zappas Mothers of Invention. The band was also featured in concert at the Atlanta Pop Festival with Traffic, Allman Brothers, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Lesley West & many more.
Based in Miami, Florida national recording artists Tiger Tiger have headlined and graced the stages for numerous festivals and concerts over the years. They were featured in the First Miami Pop Festival along with Jimi Hendrix, Procol Harum, & Led Zeppelin. In fact the actual jacket that Lee Tiger wore on stage at the first Miami Pop Festival in May 1968 has recently been put on permanent display in the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood. The jacket was designed and created by Stephan Tiger.
At The Seminole Tribes Big Rock Pow Wow they performed with Chicago, Edgar & Johnnie Winter, Grateful Dead & many more groups of that era. At Pirates World in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida they performed along with several marquee acts, including Jefferson Starship, Blackfoot, Leonard Skynyrd, Steppenwolf, Deep Purple, Guess Who, Charlie Daniels, Quick Silver & Foxy. These accomplished and respected musicians were requested by Chuck Berry & Bo Diddley to be their backing band.
Tiger Tiger appeared in the movie "Band of the Hand" in the mid 80's (with drummer Paul Deakin of popular country roots group The Mavericks), and wrote the music for a National Geographic special. "Back in the 60's it made us think that the elusive fame and fortune thing was right around the corner." Stephen Tiger said in an interview in 1994. "But 12 years of touring an elusive road burned us out. That's when we had a shift in consciousness and decided to come home to Florida and get back to our tribe. We started creating benefits and concerts to raise awareness and create a positive image of our people." "We listened to spiritual music in the 60's, so we sing of our heritage", says Stephen," but we play rock songs. Music is a great vehicle for getting across a message of understanding and getting around stereotypes people have of Native Americans."
Their last commercially released album "Southern Exposure" received a Grammy nomination. Their self-produced music video "Lay Your Burden Down" took second place for Best Music Video at the 2000 American Indian Film Festival in San Francisco.
The Tigers have recently completed their most exciting Native American cultural CD, "Peace From The Everglades", dedicated to the survival of the Miccosukee & Seminole People of Florida. This CD received two Native American Music Award (NAMMY) nominations in 2005, for Best Pop/Rock Recording & Song/Single of the Year for Heya. Future plans include touring and promotional opportunities in support of the new CD.
Lee Tiger and the late Stephen Tiger, are "Native to This Country", the last album that Stephen Tiger recorded. Stephen passed away on June 27, 2006 at age 57, two weeks after the band earned a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Native American Music Association.
The album sizzles with the brothers trademark harmonies and sawgrass sharp guitar licks. The songs range from social statements to love songs, with a song dedicated to - and about - Pope John Paul II. The cover art by Aleksander Kups, of Warsaw, Poland, shows a pensive looking Lee and Stephen silhouetted against the endless horizon of their beloved Everglades. "We have big plans for it, even taking it on tour to Europe," Lee Tiger says. "We're going to probably even work harder, as a legacy to us and a tribute to him."
Although Stephen passed away, Tiger Tiger will continue play music and record new CDs. Additions are Joey Tiger, son of Stephen, and Mike Pinera, former guitar player for Blues Image, Iron Butterfly and Alice Cooper will replace the iconic Stephen Tiger.

Satellite Broadcasting Network is the Internet and soon-to-be satellite radio service for Europe and then Asia. SBN is comparable to XM or Sirius satellite radios in America; however, satellite radio service has never existed outside of America until now.
SBN has the monopoly of Europe, and will begin Asian service next. SBN recently inked a deal and will now be distributed in Bulgaria, Greece, and Turkey. Europe is at least 10 years behind America, and they have not even had their own Internet radio until now. SBN will have all of their programming translated into the 40 European languages that exist in the 25 European countries thus eliminating the language barrier that is present for any European that travels. www.satbn.com
