ABOUT THE EPISODE
The energy and visual splendour of their live performances were one of the original inspirations of the Sideshow Alley project. Their snappy dress sense and all around handsomeness screamed out for a permanent video record. This meant we had to do something special. Something different. Something that would be stupid to attempt with our no rehearsal policy.
"Could we walk through the alley, while playing?"
"Sure. Do you reckon you can get to this corner, by this point in the song?"
"Guess so"
"Then this corner by this point in the song?"
"Of course"
"Well then lets throw lots of cameras at it and see what happens..."
It was cold, very cold. Those fingerless gloves aren't just to look cool. Don't let the sun flares fool you. But we were warmed by a strange electricity in the air. An electricity mostly generated by nervousness, as both band and crew were attempting something new. New and scary. We have a moving band, a road crossing, a barking dog (we threw beef jerky to him) and multiple locations that need synched audio. Not to mention preparing the extra surprise for the end of the song. None of us have much memory of the 5 minutes after "Action" was called. But it seemed to come out of the edit suite pretty great. Pretty damned great indeed.
ABOUT THE TIGER AND ME
The Tiger and Me create indie-pop music as seen through the looking glass of European folk songs. Three lead vocalists lead a troupe of multi-instrumentalists from gentle folk melodies through to riotous frenzied waltzes, with a wink and a nod to the old cabaret den and speakeasy tradition.

This is one of my favorites of SideshowAlley and I think the best version of "I left the Wolves Behind.."
I walked into a foreign town
A land long left behind
I sat beside an acacia tree
And a fountain of red wine
A blind old man with a bible in his hand
Struggling through the sand
A poor boy dressed in rags in tow
He leads him by the hand
And I left the wolves behind that night
I left them where they fell
I slay them one by one that night
Beneath the old cathedral bell
I sang, “la da da, la da da…
The old man took me by the hand
And he led me to the well
I said, “I am not a killer or a thief
But there are other pathways to Hell”
He said, “Worry not about what has passed
And live without regret
Think only of the moment now
You can sleep friend, when you‟re dead”
And I left the wolves behind that night
I left them where they fell
I slay them one by one that night
Beneath the old cathedral bell
I sang, “la da da, la da da…
absolutely amazing..... you have all created an amazing video record together
I love all the outdoor sessions you folks record, but this one is just too impressive not to comment! Wow! Love it.
@beatcasttv thank you again beatcasttv. You are totally our favorite uk music site ever.
Absolutely LOVE this! It's like PIRATE music!!! :D I saw it on art nation yesterday and I now have a new addiction. xo
the guy with the black acoustic guitar is my guitar teacher!!!!!
I just have discovered the amazing folk music!!
whoa how are there not more comments!! great video, been watching for years. much love!!
loved hearing dogs barking in the background there, was kinda expecting a random 'shut the f**k up!' been yelled out, nice work on the video
Speechless!
Wonderful! Such a good job. Good music & a piece of art. This should get muuuuch more credit!
I sub to this cause the idea of just playing in any back alley is AWESOME. Can't have all that stupid vocal equipment and it reminds me of the street artist that are amazing but will die poor and unknown.
these guys are awesome
How did they get time off from their chimney sweep jobs?
hi thank u i love the music and shooting good job !
The whole production is outstanding. I would love this creative style of media to take over the profit driven industry that reaches the vast majority of the population. I'm sure more than one would share the same idea. Media like this triggers the audience to go beyond the obvious, and reach the artistic side of the production. It's just lovely. Mark my words, I'll do something to make that happen. Cheers to the team, I would love to work with you guys at some point.
Is that the girl from The Nymphs? Brilliant
so cool, the video and the music
Love the alley idea, and Im finding some awesome artists from you guys :] Love this song!
this is so very good.
@oliazadehali The first/main moving shot is on a Glidecam, kinda like a steadicam, but everyone else is just hand held. Its all about holding your breath ;)
Awesome.
this is so thrilling!!
This isn't as polished and perfect as some of the other Sideshow Alley videos but it has a raw energy that's just bloody well magical.
@carl1964carl Nah, all solid state stuff. A combination of 2 x Zoom H4n and 1 x Marantz 661. Lots of radio lapel mics on the vocalist and the quieter instruments. Plus a stereo mic and a shotgun. The movement caused some phasing problems in the mix, but our audio guys did a fantastic job as usual.
wowwww!
style vs. substance = divide by zero error
@SideshowAlleyTV Thanks. I'll try holding my breath new time =)
This excites me! Fucking love it! Would have been amazing to be a part of.
I'm fron the States, so it took my friend Cam to introduce me to The Tiger and Me. I haven't thought about it in a while, but I'm gonna send him a fruit basket.
lady with violin, MARRY ME?
Makes me think of Moulin Rouge for some reason :)
Love it!
Brilliant! That lead singer with the top hat is pretty sexy too (I bet he's a Bomber supporter). Love Charlie J
@Ashworth20 You can buy The Tiger and Me album "From A Liar To A Thief" from iTunes.
Great talent! Top hat -3 only puzzled about the crowd at the end... Were they paid or just randomly walking about? Fun though!
What ? Such a stable video and no stabilizers used ? Only holding the tripod ?
There is a house in New Orleans , they call the rising sun etc
+8-ball ????
Yeah.. but this song has its own identity.. Both are great songs
what a FANTASTIC fucking noise!
This should have been some part in Oliver Twist!
Not really my kind of music but I enjoyed it immensely :-)
And I left the wolves behind that night
I left them where they fell
I slay them one by one that night
Beneath the old cathedral bell!
Love it all, just wondering what you use to record audio, was it Mini disc by chance?
Can someone post the lyrics ?
Did I see see some members of 'The Nymphs' in the crowd??
Love the video, but a lacquered Uke? It seems somehow wrong.
Awsome beat haha
and in the back groun woef woef woef lolz

Not exactly live now is it? XD jk, great job to everyone in this!
Where was this shot at?

This is how I believe James Franco would sound if he sang. :P
can't find chords :(
Try something like A minor E major most of the time.. some D minor (Am E Am E Am Dm Am E) and in the end A minor, F - G - F Am. Sorry Im not musician
It swings back and forth...Dm to Am
fiddler on the roof meets amelie :p lol idk
i miss cocaine most of the time
Admittedly the production quality of this is nowhere near that of your Ella May Brown cover
Just don't shave your head -__- and buy a female suit
Isn't that the lady from The Nymphs?
