Pull Tiger Tail (often abbreviated to PTT) were an indie rock band based in London and originating from Stratford-upon-Avon and Edinburgh; they formed in 2006 while attending Goldsmiths College.

Marcus Ratcliff, Jack Hamson, and Davo McConville decided to start a band, drawing on their shared interests in music and visual art.

They even caught the attention of legendary BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, who featured them on his show, giving the band valuable exposure to a wider audience.

[3][4] Prior to both Pull Tiger Tail, Jack Hamson and Davo McConville, along with Simon Taylor-Davis and James Righton (who would later form Klaxons), were in a band called Hollywood Is A Verb.

The creative energy from Hollywood Is A Verb carried forward into their subsequent projects, influencing the formation of Pull Tiger Tail and Klaxons.

[5] The members of Pull Tiger Tail shared a house in New Cross, a vibrant area in South London known for its thriving artistic community.

This shared living situation fostered a creative environment where both bands could exchange ideas and influences, contributing to the energy and experimentation that characterized their music.
