Last night, 12 Monkeys Music Hall and Pub celebrated the release of Barbie Almalbis’ new EP “Tigre”. The Barbie’s Cradle frontwoman put on a show with a mix of old classics along with her new songs. The show had guest performances by some of 2000 rock’s finest — Orange & Lemons, Aia de Leon, Rocksteddy — plus some new breed in Autotelic and Bird.

On her fourth solo release under 12 Stone Records, Barbie collaborated with visual artist and husband Martin Honasan on the self-titled track. “Martin and I got along really well as songwriting partners,” she shared. “He co-wrote Tigre with me. It was about our beloved cat.”

“Tigre” marks her first release in five years. The new EP is out now on all streaming and digital platforms.
