their makeup cases had disappeared to.Having let go their previous singer, the band enlisted the talents of longtime friend, Kim Hooker, in order to assist them with this task.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.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.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'.Through the summer of 2006 Tigertailz played major festivals throughout Europe, appearing on the same bill as Def Leppard, Deep Purple, Journey, Twisted Sister, Alice Cooper, Wasp, and many many other top rock outfits.Now heading into 2007 Tigertailz have returned to Sanctuary for the release of the new album 'Thrill Pistol' penned for September release and also a return to the Italy for the 'Godz of metal' festival appearing on the same bill as Motley Crue, Velvet Revolver, Thin Lizzy, Scorpions and White Lion in June.Buy it now and do your bit!The shirt was designed by Matt Rhead and based on the Clockwork Orange theme and look very cool.Click on the cover for larger view..Includes

How to...Steve Pearce stepped in, recording the Shoot To Kill Demo.It was 1987 when Tigertailz signed to the rock specialists Music For Nations, who at the time had Metallica, Poison and Stryper.They then went elsewhere to record what would become Bezerk, their most successful album.In 1991, with grunge gaining steam and the alternative rapidly becoming the mainstream, Tigertailz sacked Finchum.Their third album, Wazbones, took years to complete.Tigertailz never did a Motley Crue and went grunge.They stuck to their guns and were honest in their musical quest to bring glam, sleaze, pop and, yes, cheese to British hard rock.Meanwhile, Jay Pepper, Pepsi Tate, Matt Blackout and Kim Hooker continue to tour as Tigertailz.In 2006, Tigertailz released Bezerk 2.Taylorz from Wales
I just heard about Pepsi and my thoughts are with his familly and friends.He was a genuine and down to earth guy with time for his fans.Hope you enjoy your future together.Matt from Hexham
I saw Tigertailz in Newcastle on the Young And Crazy tour in '87 and I've been a huge fan ever since!Pepsi was gone, which was wierd as I only met the guy once, but the music he gave us means he'll never be forgotten.Sincere best wishes to all his friends and family and good luck to Jay, Kim and Matt.I'm sure Pepsi's spirit will always be with you.Pepsi and Tigertailz were everything that rock music should be: fun, fast, colourful and really, really loud.Michelle from Newport
I'm so glad Tigertailz got back together.Andii Vamp from Merthyr Tydfil, South Walez
