WE'RE PLAYING THE BEZERK ALBUM AT HRH.!!

The response to us doing the BEZERK album at the London Borderline was amazing.  So, guess what.??  We're going to do it again at Hard Rock Hell 3 next week Saturday 5th December.  Yes, the full BEZERK album in sequence as it was released in 1990 (with a few little suprises!).

 

We're on-stage about 3pm at  Hard Rock Hell so don't miss it...  BEZERK in order:

 

After a triumphant set at last years event, Welsh Glamsters Tigertailz return to the Hard Rock Hell stage. DEC 4TH TO 6TH PRESTATYN ..NORTH WALES..

This unheard of back-to-back appearance is said to be a result of fan power, with the HRH forum being flooded with good things about their performance in 2008.
Tailz join American rockers New York Dolls and W.A.S.P as well as adding to the strong UK Hard Rock presence which already includes The Quireboys and Terrorvision.

 

NEW TIGERHEAD SHIRT

The all new Tailz Tigerhead shirt is now available via our site.  These have gone like hot cakes at the recent shows so we only have a limited number and sizes left in stock.  Only in Small, Medium, Large, Women's Strappy sizes.  No XL or 2XL Sorry..  We'll be getting more in soon though so if you want to order these larger sizes drop us a mail and we'll let you know an estimated delivery date.

 

The shirt is a tribute to one of our fave bands of all time.  Guess who that might be...?

 

 

............................................................................

TAILZ TV

The response to www.tailz.tv has been absolutely amazing..  Everyone is really delighted with it and we're so glad we can now give you all our vidz free.  And, you get to see what chaos surrounds us all the time..!!!

Hi there all you wonderful people..

Well, what a night, just fantastic and you all made the hard work of putting this Bezerk set together so worth it. We're very lucky to have such a great bumch of people who support us.

The set went really well considering we haven't played some of those songs Live. Heaven for me was the highlight of the set for all sorts of reasons - it sounded great with you all singing along, we played it great, and probably my own moment to reflect on all that's passed in the last 20 years. It was quite a moment...

Judging by the feedback last night I think it's highly likely we'll be playing this set again. So to anyone who couldn't make it last night don't worry, I'm sure we'll play it again somewhere near you.

Just like also to say a huge thanks to the wonderful people who help us do this. Keith, Pete, Eddie, Nailer - thanks fellas. And a big prop for Mikey who's idea it was to do this show and set - great darts son and big congrats fella on Eff's No: 3...xx

And lastly, a big thanks to Emma and all at Mean Fiddler and the Borderline for putting on the show - you're all great.

Trying to repair my old head now so I'll sign off. But a million thanks to you all again.

BTW i forgot to say that the gig was a total sell out - thanks to each and everyone!!

Go 'Bezerk' at the Borderline!

 

The whole album - LIVE!

 

If you went 'Bezerk' in 1990 and there's still a few pints of glam metal blood coursing through your veins, then whatever you do, get yourself down to the Borderline, London W1 on Saturday the 10th of October, 2009 and go 'Bezerk' all over again!

 

For the first time ever, Tigertailz will perform the whole of their colossal Glam metal masterpiece, 'Bezerk', live and in sequence!

 

Upon its release, 'Bezerk' entered the UK top 40, spawning the MTV hits, 'Noise Level Critical' and 'Heaven' as well as featuring the daddy of all glam-metal anthems, 'Love Bomb Baby'.

 

Front man Kim Hooker says, 'with it being nearly 20 twenty years since its release, and the inevitable question of celebrating this fact coming up, it occurred to us that there were songs on there that we hadn't played in years, so it's really interesting going back and re-visiting that lesser played stuff.

From the hook-laden vibe of the songs, the big gang backing vocals, right down to the artwork, everything on that album was specifically created to be the most extreme, over the top, glam metal experience anyone had ever heard or seen.You either loved it or hated it - no one was in the middle. 'Bezerk' clearly defined what we were about at that time.'

 

So, come October the 10th, the set will be

 

Sick Sex

Love Bomb Baby

I Can Fight Dirty Too

Noise Level Critical

Heaven

Love Overload

Action City

Twist & Shake

Squeeze It Dry

Call Of The Wild

 

.And there'll be no let up after that. Also on the cards are some 'Bezerk' - era b-sides, the odd favourite and even a reactivated 'Bezerk' tour 'Robocop' guitar shred!

 

Tigertailz -'Bezerk at the Borderline', Saturday 10th of October, 2009

 

Tigertailz also play the following dates:

 

Diamond Rock Club, Ahoghill, Ballymena, Northern Ireland - Saturday, October 17th

 

Glam Fest, Estragon, Bolgona, Italy - Saturday, November 7th

 

Vice, The Kingsway, Swansea, Wales - Saturday, November 21st

 

Hard Rock Hell III, Prestatyn Sands, Wales - Saturday, December 5th.

Tigertailz regretfully announce they will not be part of Rock Gone Wild 2009.
Administrative problems leading up to the event have proved impossible to overcome in time for the band to travel to the USA.
Tigertailz are hugely frustrated and disappointed with this outcome and apologise to those looking forward to see them - the band really wanted to be part of this. However, with many necessary formalities not being finalised and the show only a matter of weeks away, the situation has become an impossible one.
Once again, to those in the USA wanting to see Tigertailz, our sincerest apologies - if there was any way of being there, we'd be there - hopefully we'll get to you soon...

Tailz over Italy!
Tigertailz confirmed for Glam Fest 3!

Tigertailz have been confirmed to appear at this years edition of ‘Glam Fest', due to take place at the venue, Estragon in Bologna on Saturday November 7th.

This marks the band's third trip to Italy in as many years, following on from their Gods of Metal appearance in 2007, and last year's special guest spot with Whitesnake.

This year's ‘Glam Fest' looks set to be a thoroughly European affair with Swedish ‘street metal' outfit, Hardcore Superstar set to headline the event with Tigertailz filling the main ‘special guest' slot. Other acts will be announced shortly.

‘We're so pleased to announce another stellar date in a country that's really been kind to us in recent years' says Tigertailz guitarist Jay Pepper. ‘The Gods of Metal show was immense, and the welcome we received at last years Padova show with Whitesnake was simply jaw dropping. I'm over the moon we'll be playing with Hardcore Superstar again - we both enjoy the heavier side of things, and our London show together earlier this year was a perfectly executed exercise in loud, filthy fun. It's great we get to do it all over again.'
