Miniature Tigers has signed with Ground Control Touring (GCT) for North American touring representation, with Andrew Ellis handling the band’s bookings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move is really a reunion. Ellis booked Miniature Tigers for years at APA before jumping to GCT’s New York office in 2023 with a roster that included Manchester Orchestra<\/a> and New Found Glory<\/a>. The band now follows him to the new agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the management side, nothing changes: Miniature Tigers continues with TMWRK. The band was previously represented by Sound Talent Group (STG).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fronted by singer-songwriter Charlie Brand, the Phoenix-born, Brooklyn-based band built a devoted indie-pop following starting with 2008’s Tell It to the Volcano<\/em>, followed by Fortress<\/em>, Mia Pharaoh<\/em>, 2019’s Vampires in the Daylight<\/em>, a self-titled album in 2023, and most recently, June 2026’s Summer of the Cow<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band has just announced a winter headlining run for this December, with dates including stops in New York and Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GCT’s roster keeps expanding across genres. The agency recently signed TOPS for worldwide representation outside Europe\/UK, Africa, and the Middle East<\/a>, added Navy Blue for worldwide representation<\/a>, and brought on Adult DVD for North and South America<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a loyalty signing more than a strategic overhaul; Ellis and the band simply pick up where they left off, just under a new letterhead. For GCT, it’s another proof point that when their agents move shop, clients tend to follow, strengthening the agency’s already deep indie-rock bench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could Ellis’s arrival open the door for other longtime APA clients to eventually land at GCT? Does keeping TMWRK in place signal that Miniature Tigers is settling into a stable, low-drama phase after nearly 20 years as a band?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
