TYGERS OF PAN TANG To Celebrate 'Wildcat' 30th Anniversary

December 17, 2009

Guitarist Robb Weir of NWOBHM legends TYGERS OF PAN TANG has issued the following update:

"2010 is going to be a big year for us as its our 30th year anniversary since the release of 'Wildcat' and we want to make this a year to remember. We will try and make every show special for you the fans and for us the band.

"Live performances are a huge part of our 'Tyger World,' and in 2010 watch out for new songs and some old songs we've not played for many years.

"If you have any special requests, mail us and we will do our best to include them wherever we can. We will also try and get to places we have either never played or not played for a very long time.

"Recording-wise, the EP of my favourite 'Wildcat' tracks will be released in February/March and a brand new album later on in the year. I am busy laying down some riffs for consideration and I have that same feeling and enthusiasm to music I had back in 1979."

TYGERS' most recent album, "Animal Instinct", was released last year.

According to a press release, "Animal Instinct", sees the band "go back to their early roots, playing hard-edged rock in the manner of 'Wildcat' and 'Spellbound'."

TYGERS OF PAN TANG's current lineup is:

Robb Weir - Guitar
Dean Robertson - Guitar
Jacopo Meille - Vocals
Brian West - Bass
Craig Ellis - Drums
