Former TIGERTAILZ Drummer To Record, Tour With MOTT THE HOOPLE's VERDEN ALLEN

December 20, 2010

Former TIGERTAILZ drummer Matthew Blakout has issued the following update:

"It is a great honour for me to announce I will be joining with, not only a fellow Welshman, but a total legend, in his side project SOFT GROUND. The man in question being Verden Allen and the main project being MOTT THE HOOPLE.

"Verden was a founding member of MOTT THE HOOPLE and present when they reformed last year to play five sold-out nights at the London Hammersmith Apollo. The impact of MOTT on a generation cannot be understated and I am so incredibly pleased to be invited by Verden to join his band and play a part in the MOTT THE HOOPLE/BAD COMPANY legacy which has shaped the rock music industry over the last four decades.

"I am so looking forward to recording, playing some classic MOTT THE HOOPLE tunes and some great gigs and festivals throughout 2011. Along with my other projects, the world's longest-running and only U.K. officially endorsed KISS tribute DRESSED TO KILL, HANG FIRE and the best tribute to '70s glam rock GLAMNATION, 2011 looks like it is shaping up to be a very very busy year!"
