The RockTigers (Korean:더 락타이거즈, also written as The Rock Tigers, The Rocktigers) are a South Korean rock and roll band formed in 2001. The RockTigers are the pioneers of the rock and roll revival movement on the Korean indie band scene. The RockTigers show a style that is rooted in the 1940s and 1950s jump blues, boogie-woogie, and rockabilly that sets them apart from other Korean indie bands. Although not on the Korean mainstream, The RockTigers have developed a cult following, especially among the ex-pat community and tourists, with their energetic live shows around the Hongdae club scene. Inspired by the foreigner support, the RockTigers recorded and released a Japanese EP Rockabilly Coaster and an English EP Electric Travel which were released on December 28, 2010 and April 30, 2011 respectively.
Velvet Geena and Tiger are the only original members of the band since 2001.
