Biography
Charlotte County's own: The Ideal Gas Law (TIGL)
A band comprised of 4 guitar players, they combine several aspects of music into a refreshing new mix of Alternative Rock, with the potential to turn their set on a dime and deliver an electronic bouquet of spatial darkness. As day turns to night, as does the sound of this young refurbished group of imbeciles.
Having undergone several changes in the Drummer position over the last 2 years, as well as a recent change behind the bass, The Ideal Gas Law has finally established and developed the sound they've been working towards for their entire brief existence. Now, with all the pieces in place, these gentlemen are excited to share their music with everyone and anyone willing to take part in the TIGL experience.
"A sound with no classification is a sound with unlimited potential & opinion… TIGL's sound is an expression, felt by those who listen and open themselves up to the beat of their emotions." - HERE NB
