TIGERTAILZ Announces U.K. Tour

January 12, 2011

Glam metal icons TIGERTAILZ have announced their first multi-date U.K. tour since 2007.

The Welsh rock heroes are returning to the live circuit with a new live album, a rejuvenated lineup, and a keen eye on the future. Not only will the tour see them playing all the fan favorites from their most popular albums to date, but it will also mark the first page in a new era for the much-loved quartet.

Shooting to fame in 1990 on the back of big-selling second album "Bezerk" and a string of hit singles, magazine covers and videos, the band won all the plaudits going for their bombastic, lion-hearted rock anthems — songs that are still played and loved all over the world today.

Getting back together in 2005, they were struck by tragedy when bassist and co-founder Pepsi Tate died from cancer in 2007. Fighting back with the usual 'TAILZ spirit, the band regrouped with bass player Sarah Firebrand and drummer Robin Guy in 2010, and recently headlined the opening night of the U.K.'s Hard Rock Hell, a performance that sold out months in advance.

Now, with the "Bezerk Live - Burnin' Fuel" live album available from January on TT/Cargo Records and from their web site, and new material being written as we speak, TIGERTAILZ are preparing to go back on the road.

"Without a doubt, this lineup is a force to be reckoned with," says guitarist Jay Pepper. "Obviously TIGERTAILZ will never be the same without Pepsi, but what we have in Robin and Sarah is a powerhouse rhythm section that makes us as good as any band around, and people are taking notice. I think we've been misunderstood for most of our career but this tour will help to change that perception. We're writing too — who knows what might happen this year."

Upcoming TIGERTAILZ shows:

Mar. 19 - Ritmo y Compas, Madrid, Spain
Apr. 03 - Glam Fest, Estragon, Bologna, Italy
May 13 - Birmingham HMV Temple, UK
May 14 - London Underworld, UK
