About Taking Tiger Mountain

Welcome to Taking Tiger Mountain


Welcome. TTM is a website that focuses on indie rock, experimental noise, chiptunes, graffitti, 8-bit art, and hip-hop. Quite often, we will feature MP3 downloads to accompany the posts. Please enjoy them, but support the artists featured by seeing them live, buying their t-shirts, and giving them long, lingering hugs.

TTM is managed by Cody DeMatteis, all words are his unless otherwise noted. He works by day as an editor in the comics industry and he’s interested in supporting you, the audience. Please drop him a line with anything you feel is interesting:
