About Me |

1990 and "glam rock" for the then generation had hit it's peak. A young bunch of liquored up melodic rockers staggered their way out of the Welsh countryside with their hair teased to the Heavens and their mothers and sisters wondering where their makeup cases had disappeared to. Having made a splash in 1987 with their debut album, 'Young And Crazy', on the independent Music For Nations label, Tigertailz were ready to move their careers to the next level. Having let go their previous singer, the band enlisted the talents of longtime friend, Kim Hooker, in order to assist them with this task. Hitting the studio immediately the band released their debut single with Hooker, the rewritten and incredibly infectious "Living Without You" to huge public praise and shot straight into the Top 20 of the UK's independent chart. With the single's accompanying video hitting MTV Europe the band was well on it's way. The Spring of 1990 saw the unleashing of a monster known as 'Bezerk', an album that would firmly plant the name Tigertailz in the minds, households and nightmares of rock fans, not only across the United Kingdom and Europe but worldwide, as well. In "Love Bomb Baby", the quartet had their first bonafied hit single and a song that they could use as their calling card. Hook laden and bordering on "bubblegum rock", the song was poppier than the typical Tigertailz warcry, "Our image tied us in with bands like Poison and the like", relates guitarist, Jay Pepper. "Musically, though, we were much heavier than those guys and fell more in line with Motley Crue, KISS and even Van Halen." Hitting the UK charts twice more with "Noise Level Critical" and "Heaven" the over the top antics of the band took them on the road with Tyketto, Lizzy Borden, Bow Wow, Mama's Boys, UFO and others helping 'Bezerk' sail past the quarter million sales mark worldwide. With the Japanese popularity of the band at a fever pitch, in 1991 Tigertailz decided to give their fans in the Land Of The Rising Sun a special "gift" in the form of an album released through Sony Music called 'Banzai'. A collection of singles, b-sides ,cover songs and new material, 'Banzai' quickly sold out of it's initial pressing but was never remanufactured and as such the original album is now a highly sought after collector's item. A revitalized interest in Tigertailz compelled the powers that be at Sanctuary Music to re-issue both 'Bezerk' and 'Banzai' worldwide along with special bonus tracks included on each release. The core members of the band, Kim Hooker, Jay Pepper and Pepsi Tate have reunited, along with drummer, Matthew Blakout and have just completed their new Bezerk 2.0 album." BEZERK 2.0 will be released in early 2006. . |
