Leeds The Well Show Cancelled
17th April 2012
 

Unfortunately due to the venue closure we believe that this show is now cancelled, although we have not received official confirmation as yet. It is unlikely that any alternative venue will be found to replace the date.

 


1981 Spellbound Tour Shirt - Almost Sold Out
17th April 2012
 

We only have a few shirts left now and the shirt is available in sizes S, XL, XXL, XXXL. If you want one of these please purchase this without delay as they will not be re-printed.

 



Celebrity Fans
23rd March 2012
 

Check out James Hetfield of Metallica wearing a classic Wildcat shirt, although unofficial I think we can forgive such a Metal Icon. If James or his management want to contact us I am sure we can find a few official shirts to send him to wear, obviously free of charge.

If there are more celebrities out there who like the band and have any footage of themselves wearing a Tygers shirt we would be delighted to show these on the web and send some freebies back for the privilege.

Tygers To Play Spain in July 2012
16th March 2012
 

We are delighted to announce that the Tygers will be playing the following shows in Spain this coming July:-


Thursday 5th July - Razzmatazz 3, Barcelona

Friday 6th July - Sala Supersonic, Cadiz

Saturday 7th July - Skulls of Metal Festival


Apart from playing the Legend's of Rock Festival in 2010, the band have never actively played in Spain and this is something we want to change, not only in July, but also for the foreseeable future. We have been really surprised at the number of emails, etc from Spain and Portugal over the last year or so, as we had no idea that we had so many fans over there. July should also be an exciting time all round as this will be the approximate launch date of the new album 'Ambush' and we cannot think of a more perfect opportunity to celebrate this, than in the wonderful country of Spain.

If we receive any ticket details from the promoters etc we will publish these as and when received but check out the individual venues for more details in the meantime,

See you all very soon

Lots of Tygers News...
5th March 2012

Sweden Rock Festival date Confirmed
We have Just received confirmed that the Tygers will be appearing on Friday 8th June at the Sweden Rock Festival, we are really looking forward to this festival and re-connecting with some of our Scandinavian friends. We really hope you will be able to help make the day really special by joining us at the front for some good old-school Rock n Roll. We also hope to be involved with some signing session stuff but if not we will definitely get out front to join you guys for a beer and to watch some bands.

Rodney Matthews New Artwork for Ambush
We are really excited about the artwork for the New Album 'Ambush' which is due for release later in the year. From a chance meeting at the Hard Rock Hell Festival in December our Management have been talking to Rodney Matthews about commissioning a new piece of artwork and it gives us great pleasure to announce that we chosen a design that we think will just blow you away. If you are not familiar with Rodney check out his website and you will recognise many album covers he has designed for bands such as Magnum, Diamond Head, Praying Mantis and so on. The connection with the Tygers is that Rodney designed the iconic Crazy Nights cover back in 1981 which we know is a fan favourite. The Ambush design was based around a scene similar to Spellbound but has been brought into the year 2012 and beyond, its a theme model we have been following since 2007 to recognise not only what is going on now with the band presently but to also never forget the past. we do hope you will like it because we think its visually stunning. more on this very soon

Back & Beyond EP and The Wildcat Sessions EP almost sold out
If by some chance you have yet to buy these please note that they are almost all gone, they were a Limited Edition pressing and we have no plans for any re-prints etc. Can we suggest that you place your order before you end up paying a lot of money on auction sites for these.

Studio update
The Dark Lord Chris Tsangarides has just sent through the backing music recorded in February so Jack can start to prep his vocal parts and Robb and Dean can start to work on their Solo guitar parts. There is still a long way to go in the process of recording the new album 'Ambush' but we are really pleased with the arrangement and sound so far. When you use the services of a well known producer you expect that little more and we think you are going to be pleased with the outcome. We always wanted to progress from 'Animal Instinct' and show that the band have matured since that was recorded. We hope we have achieved that. The album will be released through Rocksecter Records later in the year.

Spellbound UK Tour 1981 T shirts
16th December 2011


Following the success of the reproduction 1980 UK Tour Shirt back in 2009 we thought it would be a great idea to again reproduce what is a real piece of history, the 1981 Spellbound UK Tour Shirt. We have been working with our merchandise provider to create an almost identical shirt and the results are fantastic. We are planning on having a very limited run of 75 shirts so they still retain the collectable value. The 1980 shirts sold out in three weeks which had a similar run number so make sure you get in there quickly.

We will be taking delivery and posting in late January but you can place your order now! These are not to be missed.

This will be the final Spellbound celebration item that we will be doing, following the Sessions EP and Hellbound shirts. After this its onto 'Crazy Nights' with that iconic cover by Rodney Matthews.

Tygers Shows UK February / March 2012
6th December 2011

The venues/ dates are as follows:-
17th February Hark to Towler Bury, Lancashire, UK
18th February The Riverside Selby, West Yorkshire, UK
2nd March Bogiez Rock Bar Cardiff, South Wales
3rd March B2 Norwich, Norfolk, UK


Ticket details can be sourced form the individual venues websites

There may be a few more shows added but this will be dependant upon the recording schedule.
Coming Soon - Studio Report part 1
1st December 2011


We thought it would be of interest to you if we gave you a little insight into how the new album is constructed from writing stage right through to the recording and mix. At the moment the band have about twenty songs in various stages, although we pretty much know which twelve we will pick for the album. The band are really excited with the new songs which show how the band have progressed since 'Animal Instinct'.

Craig plays a vital role in the arrangement of songs from the first 'riff' idea to the final arrangement and 'Stage 1' will be his version of events. Stage 2 will be the actual recording process report and for Stage 3, we will ask Chris T to put his thoughts down on the sound and vibe he is trying to get from the mix and pulling the sound together.

Stage 1 will be with you shortly so keep checking out the site for more details.

The Wildcat Sessions released on Vinyl
29th November 2011

We are very pleased to announce that the 'The Wildcat Sessions' is available to buy on vinyl through our friends 'Night of the Vinyl Dead' of Italy. This is the same company who also brought you the fantastic vinyl version of 'Animal Instinct' in early 2011.

Chris Tsangarides to produce new Tygers album
28th November 2011


We are delighted to announce that Chris Tsangarides will be producing and mixing the forthcoming album. Recording is scheduled for February 2012 at Chris's studio in Kent and mixing will take place in March. It is a real coup for the band to get such a well known producer and we know he will ensure that the vibe, feel and spirit of the album is in keeping with the Tygers signature sound. For those of you who are not familiar with Chris, he was at the desk for both the 'Wildcat' and 'Spellbound' albums back in 1980/81 which really helped to make these albums the classic releases that they became. Chris also makes an appearance in the 'Anvil story' as well as being associated with a multitude of top class Bands.

The new album which has a working title of 'Ambush' will be released circa June 2012, this is a little later than planned but we wanted to make sure we had everything in place.
 

 

Tygers confirmed for Sweden Rock Festival & more
28th November 2011


We are very pleased to announce that the Tygers will play the prestigious Sweden Rock Festival in 2012. This is one of the largest Festivals in the world that celebrates Classic Rock music and its a great honour for the Tygers. We are very proud to have been invited to play such an event and this further allows us to get our music back to the masses who have not had the chance to hear the Tygers for a while.

We are also delighted to be confirmed for the following:-

SOS Festival UK - 21st July 2012

Upton Festival UK - 25th August 2012

Underground Investigation France - 6th October 2012

Together with the confirmed Skulls of Metal Festival on the 7th July, and hopefully many more to come, the Tygers should be near you at some point in 2012.
 

 



Brian Leaves/ Gav now permanent
25th November 2011

 
As many of you are aware Brian West is a vital part of the Uriah Heep set up as both tech to Trevor Boulder and Stage Manager. Due to their prolific touring schedule Brian has decided that he cannot commit the time required to record and tour with the Tygers so he has reluctantly resigned his position within the band.

This has been a situation that all parties have tried to work around in 2011 but with the pending recording of a new album and shows being booked throughout 2012 there had to be some consistency and continuity within the band. Brian totally understood this need which lead to him making the decision.

Brian has been an instrumental and vital part of the Tygers for 12 years and will be missed as a person and band member, we wish him all the best in the future.

During the latter part of 2011 we have been working with Gav Gray as a temporary replacement to Brian. Gav who was with the Tygers back in 2000 and appeared with Robb and Jess at Wacken before joining The Almighty has fitted in perfectly both playing live and during the writing process of the new album. It therefore gives us great pleasure to announce that with immediate effect Gav Gray is now the permanent Bass player for Tygers of Pan Tang.

This will be a new chapter in the history of the Tygers and with an exciting year ahead we wish Brian a fond farewell and welcome Gav into the Tygers family.

On July 16th the band will play the fantastic 'Bang Your Festival' in Germany so to break the long journey and to get some active stage time on the road prior, two shows have been booked.

Following rehearsals on the 14th July the band will play 'The 'Riverside Bar' venue in Selby which is located between Leeds & York so its easy access for all our fans based in Yorkshire and the North East. Its great to finally play the Riverside especially as its the owners birthday on the 14th so it will be a special show & occasion. It will also be the first time that the band have had chance to play the new set in the UK which includes a whole lot of songs from the 'Spellbound' album following the release of 'The Spellbound Sessions' EP in February. Tickets will be priced at £5.00 for this one so there is no excuse not to come along for a great night of NWOBHM.

The following day the band will make the long trip to France and play the 'Pacific Rock' venue which is located on the outskirts of Paris. Its been a long time since the band played in France so it will be another great chance to get stage fit and play for our fans. Again the show will be the full production set. This will be a free entry show so get down for another great night of NWOBHM.

There will be local support at both venues.

We will have a full range of Tygers merchandise on offer at both shows,

Robb was rushed into Hospital on Thursday 17th February with Kidney stones. Although the illness is far from Life threatening he is in extreme discomfort. The Doctors have advised that he stay in Hospital until they can carry out the medical procedure necessary to cure the pain. Robb was still optimistic but on Friday they refused him permission to fly. He is absolutely devastated that he will not be able to travel to Italy for the shows.

After a lot of discussions with the promoter and at Robb's request, the rest of the band agreed to play as a four piece. This will be a unique chance to see the band and one that will hopefully never be repeated. We realise it will be different, but please still join us for a great night of Rock music and I can promise we will have some fun at these unusual shows. We will still be selling the full range of Tygers merchandise which is already in Italy.

Due to the events on Thursday the planned posting of the Spellbound Sessions EP did not happen, these will now be sent on Tuesday 22nd February on our return from Italy.

Thank you to you all for your understanding in the above,

Tygers

'The Spellbound Sessions' Release Date & Details...
26th January 2011

February 19th 2011 will see Tygers of Pan Tang release a special 6 Track CD EP 'The Spellbound Sessions' to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of their Iconic 1981 release 'Spellbound'. Following on from last year's celebration of the Wildcat Album and after receiving fantastic feedback from the fans the band decided to continue with this concept of celebrating the past.

Robb Weir (Guitarist & Founder) says "I am very proud of the bands history as well as the current line up of the band. This EP as did 'The Wildcat Sessions' gives an opportunity to celebrate and record some of my favourite songs and to remember the past through the current line up. We should never forget the Tygers History and I hope this shows the band will always recognise the early days of the band. 'Spellbound' was a new era for the band in 1981 and after the success of 'Wildcat' we had to follow on with something special which I think we did. There are a lot of bands that want to modernise their sound or image and forget what made them great in the beginning, I am not one of them."

The CD is a limited Edition of 1000 copies and will be made available to the Tyger Force fan club from the 10th February.

The CD will be available for general sale from the website shop from the 19th February 2011, www.tygersofpantang.com priced at £5.95 + posting.

The Track Listing will be:-
Gangland / Take it / Hellbound / Mirror / Tyger Bay / Don't Stop By

All songs have been re-recorded and re-mixed by Tygers of Pan Tang 2011. The bands full live set during 2011 will include all songs from 'The Spellbound Sessions'.
'The Spellbound Sessions' Press Release
20th December 2010
 
January 2011 will see the Tygers go into the studio to record a special EP to celebrate 30 years since the release of their iconic album release 'Spellbound'.

The EP will be titled 'The Spellbound Sessions' and include 6 songs from the original album re-recorded by the current Tygers line up.

The songs the band have chosen are:

1. Hellbound
2. Don't Stop By
3. Tyger Bay
4. Gangland
5. Take it
6. Mirror

All these tracks will be completely re-recorded.

2010 saw the band record 'The Wildcat Sessions' EP and the feedback was fantastic so the band wanted to continue with this concept.

The band have always respected their past releases which form the majority of the live show set so it is a fitting tribute.

The recording will be completed in January 2011 and then following the licence application and manufacture should be available from the webshop from early February.

We will be holding the price the same as 'The Wildcat sessions' at £5.00 + posting. The EP will also be available at the live shows during 2011.
