TIGERTAILZ To Record Live Album

October 21, 2008

UK glam rockers TIGERTAILZ will record their November 1, 2008 concert at The Asylum in Birmingham, England for a forthcoming live CD. The album will be a "pure bootleg experience" recorded with and for 'TAILZ fans and will only be available to buy from the official TIGERTAILZ web site.

Commented the band: "'TAILZ fans have been asking for another live album for years but we didn't like the idea of producing something that didn't sound real or capture what a 'TAILZ live show is all about. So, after discussion we've decided to record the Asylum show on November 1, 2008 and release it directly via our web site. The product will be recorded straight off the desk so it should sound rough and exciting — just the way we like it. We would ask all you 'TAILZ maniacs to get to the Asylum show and make as much noise as you possibly can. It's your chance to be part of an actual 'TAILZ album; if you shout loud enough you'll be on the record."

There will be no record company involvement for this live album release, and it will feature basic, "raw" artwork so the price can be kept to a minimum. The band hopes to release the CD as soon as possible after the show.

Added the group: "This will be a dirty, loud, rough, raw and sweaty live experience — a bit like the 'Rock Goes To College' shows that used to be recorded back in the '70s. We're going to play some songs we haven't played for many years so a real treat for the pure 'TAILZ troopers". Definitely not to be missed."

TIGERTAILZ bassist Pepsi Tate (real name: Hugh Justin Smith) passed away on September 18, 2007 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 42 years old.

TIGERTAILZ' latest album, entitled "Thrill Pistol", came out late August 2007 via Sanctuary Records. The LP was released as a double CD that also includes a "bonus" disc of the original WAZBONES album which was recorded in 1991 but never officially released. Tate handled all artwork for the LP.
