From throughout Christchurch they came. Bands hopeful of taking home the “Midget Guitar of Glory”- the prized trophy for winning the Dux-de-Lux RounDUp 2006. Amid a flurry of exploding confetti cannons the winner was crowned on Saturday night. The TIGERTONES!

Now the true journey begins for the Tigertones. They are interviewing, being styled and photographed as we speak. They will be recording their radio single very soon and preparing songs for their ep release. We wish them well. We’ll keep you informed.
