March 19th 2016, The Roxy, West Hollywood CA:\u00a0<\/strong>Raleigh, North Carolina modern prog masters Between The Buried And Me released their eighth full-length studio album ‘Coma Ecliptic’ in 2015, a concept\u00a0piece in the style of a rock opera, pushing their boundaries even further than they’ve so successfully done on previous records. The band did two North American\u00a0headline tours last year, and have set foot for another run in this part of the world this March-April, with support acts August Burns Red and Good Tiger, to present new material as well as to delve into the back catalog, deeper than they have on recent tours. Between The Buried And Me and Good Tiger visited Los Angeles for a gig at the Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood on Saturday March 19th, for an incredibly intimate evening enjoyed to the fullest by all in attendance.<\/p>\n

Doors opened at 7 PM, and the show began promptly at 8 as the sole opening act Good Tiger<\/strong> took the stage for a 30-minute set. Featuring\u00a0Elliot Coleman (ex Tesseract) and Alex Rudinger (ex The Faceless, Threat Signal) and former members of bands such as The Safety Fire and Architects UK, Good Tiger is a brand new entity formed in 2015 and completed their debut full-length album ‘A Head Full Of Moonlight’, slated for release on April 22nd. The band warmed up this crowd excellently for the headline act, and the most notable aspect of frontman Elliot Coleman’s performance was how much better of a fit he seemed to be for Good Tiger than he ever was for Tesseract. Coleman fronted Good Tiger with tremendous vocal delivery and stage presence, and his band mates backed him to perfection. As mosh pits were gaining momentum and intensity and the volume inside the Roxy was rising, there was no doubt that the Between The Buried And Me fans took a liking to Good Tiger and most of these people would go\u00a0back to see this band whenever they visit again. A perfect prelude to the main attraction of the evening.<\/p>\n
