Tiger Saw performed a set on the Phoning It In podcast this weekend. We performed a few songs, and in the spirit of theAll My Friends book, South China, The Wailing Wall, and Moons of Jupiter (All members of the current Saw lineup), each performed a Tiger Saw song as well.
The host, Nadav, who has put on a few memerable shows over the years, wrote of the session:
Dylan Metrano, Chris Holt (Moons of Jupiter), Mandy Sabine, Jesse Rifkin (The Wailing Wall), Jerusha Robinson (South China), and Jeremy Robinson (South China) phone it in from Portland, ME. As much a collective as a solo vehicle for Dylan, Tiger Saw’s seen over 100 members throughout its decade of existence (not to mention that Dylan and all those members each play in plenty of different bands). And to celebrate that decade, Dylan’s put together an oral history of the band, ‘All My Friends Are Right Here With Me,’ which comes complete with a CD of covers by friends and band members both past and present. In lesser hands, the thing would be an egotistical mess, except that Dylan is just so damned nice, one of the least ego-driven people you could hope to meet, and the results of any Tiger Saw project are never less than magical. From sleepy slowcore to exuberant singalong folk, downbeat or up-, Dylan’s songs are never less than hopeful and affirming, gentle reminders that there is hope, there is kindness, there is love.

A really nice blog, I Guess I’m Floating, is giving away an MP3 of our cover of Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy’s song ‘Hard Life’. The track was originally recorded for a Will Oldham tribute record in 2004; released again on a Tract Records compilation in 2007; then again on the Tiger Saw odds-n-sods collection Ask Me Again in 2009. The song features Juliet Nelson, Christopher Holt, and Dylan Metrano.
Here’s what they say:
Tiger Saw are an interesting musical outfit, if not confusing. The group have one constant member (also the founder) in Dylan Metrano but fluctuate in size from bare-bones soloist to upwards of a dozen different musicians – including artists like Jason Anderson and Jesse Rifkin. I plan on featuring their original material in the future but for now this excellent cover of Bonnie Prince Billy’s “Hard Life”, featuring a beautifully composed male-and-female folk duet, will hold me over.
The post and MP3 are here.

Paper Birdz
Tiger Saw is currently mixing their fifth album, Paper Birdz.
Dylan Metrano is finishing a book, All My Friends Are Right Here With Me, an account of ten years touring and recording with Tiger Saw. Based on tour diaries and interviews with dozens of fellow musicians, the book will be published this fall, and will come with a CD with various friends covering Tiger Saw songs, including Picastro, Jason Anderson, Cake on Cake, Strand of Oaks, and more.
Tiger Saw has a Muxtape page, and have debuted a new song, ‘Aviary’ on it.
