Pride Tiger were apparently driving through a snowstorm when we interviewed them. Their desire to not die in a van accident probably tempered their answers...

So, you're about to play the big industry event that is Canadian Music Week. What's the most shameless thing you've ever done to promote your band?
Matt Wood: Are you saying playing CMW is shameless?

What's the hardest part about being an up-and-coming band?
There's nothing hard about that, it's exciting!

How important is it for your band members to circulate and flirt with the audience before or after the show?
Very, you gotta do that.

Have you ever stolen from someone else's rider? If so, who was it and what did you take?
Always. Alcohol.

Have you ever been graded before according to ChartAttack.com's Rock 'n' Roll Report Cards?
Yes.

How did the grade make you feel? Does the idea of being graded bring back bad memories of being in elementary school or high school?
We've always received good grades, so it makes us feel good.

Have you done anything new or interesting this week?
Yes, we started a three-week tour across Canada!

Pride Tiger plays the Horseshoe Tavern on Thursday, March 8 @ 12:30 a.m. as part of the annual Chart/Horseshoe/Canadian Music Week showcase.
