TYGERS OF PAN TANG Guitarist Checks In

July 4, 2008

Guitarist Robb Weir of the NWOBHM legends TYGERS OF PAN TANG has issued the following update:

"The TYGERS are currently having a short rest before 'roaring' again in a town near you! We are rehearsing some of the new songs to play live and working on a new show as well.

"August sees us off to Norway to play a festival with TWISTED SISTER amongst others. Plans are also in place for more touring in both the UK and Europe kicking off in October and stretching well into 2009.

"I shall also be attending Music Live at Birmingham's NEC in November, which we played live last year but this year as a guest to Spear Guitars who I have recently signed an endorsement contract with. The guitars are fantastic and great value for money so come and see me on the stand and I will try and explain why I think they are pound for pound the best guitar on the market today.

"Finally I see my old mate 'JS' (John Sykes) is playing the night before us with THIN LIZZY at Hard Rock Hell 2 festival in December. It's been a while since we got up to some mischief together and this will be the perfect opportunity to cause some mayhem…"

TYGERS OF PAN TANG's new album, "Animal Instinct", was released in Italy, Germany and Scandinavia on June 9, and will be made available and in Japan in mid-July via Marquee/Avalon. The CD is currently available in the UK and via the band's official web site, www.tygersofpantang.com.

According to a press release, "Animal Instinct", sees the band "go back to their early roots, playing hard-edged rock in the manner of 'Wildcat' and 'Spellbound'."

TYGERS OF PAN TANG's current lineup is:

Robb Weir - Guitar
Dean Robertson - Guitar
Jacopo Meille - Vocals
Brian West - Bass
Craig Ellis - Drums
