Hull City Hall, December 2nd - Cancelled!
It is with regret that the Tygers
announce that due to unforeseen
circumstances beyond our control, the
intended show at Hull City Hall on
Thursday 2nd December has been
cancelled.
Please accept our sincere apologies to those who had intended coming to see our performance, if only in the capacity as support to MoBR. We can only hope that we get the opportunity to play in the Humberside area in the not too distant future. Those who have already purchased tickets are entitled to a full refund and are asked to contact the venue to arrange. Sorry once again. Tygers |

Comment From Mick Box (Uriah Heep)
As reported below (5th Oct), Mick came
down to see the band at the Underworld
in London and posted the following on
his personal MySpace site:-
'On Friday night I went to Camden Town to see the “Tygers of Pang Tang” play at the venue called The Underworld. Brian West our Bass, Keyboard and Stage Manager is the Bass Player, so I thought I would check them out. I am very glad I made the effort, as they were great. It was a most enjoyable night, and I came away well impressed. They are all excellent players, and the vocalist was spot on, and they connected with the audience very well. Check them out on their website http://tygersofpantang.com/ they rocked the Underworld big time, and it was professional, slick, straight ahead, and most definitely in your face. I loved it!' Mick Box (Uriah Heep) 2010 We would like to thank Mick for not only taking the time to come down and check out the Tygers but also for his kind words. Tygers |

Special Show Gateshead with ODS 9th October 4th October 2010
Just a quick Blog to remind everyone of
the upcoming show at the Lancastrian
Suite in Gateshead on Saturday 9th
October. It will be a great show on home
ground and who better to play with than
ODS.
We are really looking forward to meeting up with the guys again, it will have been nearly 30 years since Robb shared the stage with Graham Oliver and Steve Dawson. That was when the Tygers supported Saxon on the Wheels of Steel Tour and a Tour we still receive a lot of comments about. Although line ups have changed this will still be a night of great British Rock by two of the bands who were at the forefront of the NWOBHM movement in 1980. Tickets are still available or you can pay on the night. Please contact the lancastrian suite for more details on info@thelancastriansuite.com See you all there Tygers |

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  |

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 Tygers |

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 |

attending get down there without fail

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 Tygers |

pre-orders of the EP have now been sent

the world you should receive the EP at
some point this week. We would like to
sincerely apologies for the delay in

while ago with the licence red tape. To
compensate you for this delay we have
added an extra disk for you in the

amends. We are always keen that you guys

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 Tygers |
