PROMO: Agori Tribe - Tiny Tyrant Biggins & The Avant Groove

Agori Tribe
“Tiny Tyrant Biggins & The Avant Groove”
Coming Soon
After a strong debut album in 2014, showcasing the five-piece progressive rock band’s diversity of influence, Agori Tribe starts 2015 off strong with “Tiny Tyrant Biggins & The Avant Groove,” also known as simply “Biggins.” The first single from an upcoming full length album of original material, “Biggins” further demonstrates the Memphis-based band’s need to stretch the boundaries of genre and fittingly incorporate a wide range of styles into a single track. The song was produced and recorded by Patrick Moss, and certain tracking was done at Sansing Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. The combination of jazz, fusion and rock and roll makes “Biggins” the ultimate Agori Tribe track, touching on all ends of their spectrum of influences.
