Dean endorses Dean! Confused?? Read on...
13th June 2010

TYGERS OF PAN TANG guitarist Dean Robertson is proud to announce he is the latest endorsee for DEAN GUITARS UK.

''After many years playing almost every type of guitar, this one literally had my name all over it !!!!!!!'' says Dean

He is currently playing the USA 30th Anniversary 'V'

''With the Tygers celebrating 30 years since the NWOBHM classic album `WILDCAT` it just seemed the obvious choice..........The sound of the guitar, second to none backup service and friendly staff may have helped also in my decision! says Dean

To also celebrate this 30 years Anniversary the Tygers have recently released a limited edition EP which covers 5 tracks re-recored from the Wildcat album. This is available exclusively from the website shop at www.tygersofpantang.com

Dean will be using the V as his number one touring guitar this year at a number of festivals throughout Europe and hopes this will be the start of a long and mutually benefitial partnership.

Finally Dean says "Come and say hello, we can talk Dean guitars", alternatively, check out the website www.deanguitars.uk.com

Bridgefest 2010

The Bridgehouse 2 in Canning Town, London is a favourite warm up venue for the Tygers on their way to play Festivals in Europe so over the last year we have built up a close working relationship with the promotions team there.

Bridgefest 2010 will be the second year that the festival has taken place and this year promises to be bigger and better. The promotions Team have taken the steps of approaching some of the bigger named Classic Rock & NWOBHM bands so it will be an exciting couple of months to see the final billing.

The Diamond Rock Club - Ballymena, Northern Ireland
24th May 2010

The band would like to thank everyone who came to the show on Saturday Night, it was a fantastic atmosphere & reception from you guys and very welcome. Considering the expenses most of you would have incurred last week with some high profile shows going on in Belfast with Matallica and Kiss, your support was greatly appreciated. We understand in these economic hard times money is not freely flowing so it makes it all that more appreciated.

We would also like to make a special mention for Derwin, Fiona, Nigel and everyone associated with the Diamond Rock Club for the courtesy and first class hospitality shown to us. You thought of everything.

For those who do not know the Diamond Rock Club and live in Northern Ireland, check them out and get involved with your support. They are real fans of Rock & Metal and have live music most weekends. The club has a fantastic atmosphere, every one knows each other and big plans to get more touring bands to play as well as Northern Irelands finest.

The venue is linked in our top friends on the offical Tygers of Pan Tang myspace site.

Thanks Again

Birmingham Show Cancelled
10th May 2010

Unfortunately the Birmingham Asylum show has been pulled by the promoter. This was due to a number of issues and contractual concerns. I want to stress that this was entirely there decision and not ours. Can I ask that those of you who intended going consider the Tackeroo club in Cannock on the 30th May which is not a million miles away. We would like to apologies for yet another cancellation but in these uncertain times and the future of the live music club circuit these things do happen.

Rush Fest update
9th May 2010

Unfortunately the promoter is still having issues with the local council to gain the necessary licence for the event to go ahead. Can I suggest if you planned on attending or live within the constituancy voice your displeasure directly to the council. Its promoters such as Adrian who is trying to keep music live and he deserves our support.

Please see below the statement issued:-

I thought I would drop you a line to let you know that we are experiencing serious issues with the council.

On Tuesday this week we set up a sound check on the pitch to do a noise assessment. It raised a serious issue in that the levels were far to high for the regulations. It has meant that we have had to postpone this event yet again???

The council however do want it to go ahead and we a relooking to hold it in the adjacent rec next to our ground. I have another noise assessment being done next week. There is a smaller event like this being held there by the council in 2 weeks time and therefore the precedence is already set.!

It is very frustrating for all involved including us, as we have now spent £20k on a website, promotions etc. I have Ticketmaster ready to go, eagle radio, surrey add and also Rocketuk ready to press the button.

I am confident that we can actually hold this event and I will come back to you once I have confirmation from the council that they are happy to proceed.

Warmest regards

Aidan
 

York shows info

Keep it True Festival 13
9th May 2010

We would like to Thank everybody who attended the festival for the incredible reception you gave the band last Saturday, we were blown away by the whole experience. Leading up to the Festival there were bands pulling out due to the Iceland Volcano but we were determined to play no matter what and any band who did not make it missed out on a very special two days. We will remember the festival for a very long time.

Festivals in Europe such as Keep it True, Heavy Metal Maniacs, Headbangers Open Air and hundreds of others are what keeps our music alive. These festivals are organised by true fans who spend thousands of hours of there time dedicated to the music they love. Our thanks go to every organisor as without you we would not get the chance to play our music.

If you get the chance, support your local festival and keep them all alive.

Thanks Again to Everybody

The Wildcat EP Sessions Update 3
12th April 2010

We are pleased to announce that all pre-orders of the EP have now been sent out. Dependant upon where you live in the world you should receive the EP at some point this week. We would like to sincerely apologies for the delay in getting this CD out to you, this was due to some issues we had and announced a while ago with the licence red tape.

To compensate you for this delay we have added an extra disk for you in the package which will hopefully make amends. We are always keen that you guys are looked after and it was the least we could do as the delay was unforseen.

Hope you like the EP and bonus disk,

Regards

Tygers

 

Tour Date Changes
12th April 2010

There has been some alterations to the May touring schedule. We are now playing the Rush Fest at Farnborough FC (Classic Rock Day) which has now changed again to 29th May (confirmed). You will notice that we have two shows on the 29th May which will be a first for the band. If you want to catch the band at Farnborough get there early as we will be playing early on the bill. We will then be loading up and travelling to Wales to play Party in the Pub for the Patriot Bike Club as the headlining act.

Sadly the NWOBHM Festival at The Robin 2, Bilston has had to be cancelled. Praying Mantis had to unfortunately pull out due to being booked for the Sweden Rock Festival. Also the event was taking place on the same day as the Download Festival and we received a lot of emails regarding this. We are not sure of the situation as regards to re-booking the event but will keep you posted as it was a Marseille booking. If you had tickets and you want an alternative to see the band then check us out at Birmingham or Cannock in May on the tour. We only planned to play 45 minutes at Bilston so you will get a full set list of songs at the other venues.

Thanks for your continued support
