Kiss the Tiger pounced onto the Twin Cities’ music scene in late-2016 and have been making big waves ever since. Inspired by the sounds and energy of The Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, and Patti Smith, Kiss the Tiger has breathed new life into 21st century rock and roll. In February of 2017 Kiss the Tiger were the runner-up in Star Tribune’s ‘Are You Local?’ Best New Band competition. Shortly after they recorded their EP, “Elliot Park” which was released in November of 2017. The music video for “Starting to See You” off of “Elliot Park” was named one of Minnesota’s Best Music Videos of 2018 by 89.3 The Current.

In 2019 Kiss the Tiger released their sophomore album “Let Me Bleed”. They were recognized that year as a “Picked to Click” band by City Pages, an end-of-year round up of the best local bands voted on by their peers. That same year they headlined the Star Tribune stage at the Basilica Block Party, the largest outdoor musical festival in Minneapolis drawing around 25,000 attendees. The Current included their music video for “Bad Boy” off of “Let Me Bleed” in their Best Minnesota Music Videos of 2019.

Kiss the Tiger has opened for notable acts such as The Suburbs, Ike Reilly, Jackie Venson, and Black Joe Lewis. They were slated to open for Golden Smog and Tina and the B-Sides on the main stage at First Avenue’s 50th Anniversary Celebration before the pandemic lockdown.

Tekk Nikk is Nikki Pfeifer, a Minneapolis electronic musician and DJ. Pfeifer is often recognized as Devata Daun and her history working with her former label, Pytch Records. Some of her memorable times were performing with John Maus (twice), her goth days as a resident DJ for Dark Energy, and co-hosting an R&B inspired DJ residency called Red Light Special at Kitty Cat Klub with the vibrant DJ Rowsheen. She has debuted Tekk Nikk live performances at Intellephunk raves including the techno campout banger, Even Furthur

Pfeifer started performing under the name Tekk Nikk the summer of 2017 at CGW's (local industrial/EBM artist & friend, Collin Gorman Weiland) summer tour kick-off party. She has been intentional to write techno with outdated old sequencers that have made her sound and inspired by beloved friend Joel Shanahan (Golden Donna, Auscultation) to write techno compositions, an exploration of diversifying her writing away from her typical pop-art formats. After taking a year to explore the Pacific Northwest, she is now planted back in the Twin Cities, a place that's truly home and dear to her heart, and back to writing and performance art.
