Ride The Tiger
Don’t let the cheeky retro style flyer and naughty name fool you, Ride The Tiger is a group of immensely talented musicians, who know how to show their audience a good time. The funk/soul cover band, recently formed by charismatic front-man Julian Taylor (formerly of Staggered Crossing), Bassist, Ryan Gavel and Drummer, Jesse Labovitz, have clearly cut their teeth as live musicians and have a really good time doing it.
Nestled in the candlelit basement lounge of My Place Pub in Toronto, their soulful and funky sound send spikes of electricity through the air as JT belts out soul classics by everyone from Marvin Gaye to Stevie Nicks. The unnervingly beautiful lines of guest guitarist Tom Juhas, leave one’s mouth agape and one’s mind in limbo somewhere between awe and bliss, while Ryan’s smooth and punchy bass lines weave effortlessly in and out of Jesse’s tight and funky grooves.
To see them live is to stumble onto something exciting, yet familiar, as if reuniting with old friends at the best party ever.
The band also features a rotating roster of auxiliary players and special guests.
Almost 4 hours after the band kicked off the night the crowd was still on their feet moving and shaking and shouting out requests. RaeMag got a chance to catch up with the band before load-out to ask a few questions about life as gigging musicians, their solo projects and what’s next.

Workshop A La RaeMag
Last night, as the temperature dipped just low enough to see our breaths, we held the first ever RaeMag Guitar Workshop in Toronto. Our fearless and patient beta testers came out in their numbers to endure a lengthy screencast, my puny explanations and Mike’s unsavory visuals for just under 4 hours. We laughed, we cried, some of us cried more and in the end it was an amazing exploration of what’s possible when you encourage people to create and learn. While our testers clicked, picked, strummed and barred, we learned a few things ourselves.
1. Sometimes, kids are smarter and more profound than you.
2. “That’s not a bug, it’s a feature”! Was shouted by Eric a few too many times.
3. IE once again, managed to decelerate an entire evening.
Although we spend 90% of our time thinking about our users and attempting to predict their every interaction with the site, it’ s easy to get caught on the designer/developer side of the line, detached from them and their point of view. This workshop was an amazing way to get connected and rethink the way we approach further development of the application and had nothing to do with an ulterior motive to get together and jam/hang with some of the coolest testers ever!

Let’s See Paul Allen’s Card…
“New Card. Whaddaya think? Picked them up from the printer’s yesterday. It’s bone, and the lettering is something called Silian Rail”.
The official RaeMag flyer card is finally here. Grammatically correct, informationally sound with pointed edges and a rectangular shape. All the makings of a perfect business card, minus the subtle off-white coloring and tasteful thickness of course…
“Let’s see Paul Allen’s card…”
