Tigertailz are delighted to announce that ROBIN GUY will be joining the band on drums for the next run of shows.
It's too soon to say whether this will become a permanent arrangement - but we wanted to give you an update on the present situation as soon as practicable.
We held lengthy auditions with Robin over the weekend and - what can we say - he's a force of nature, an absolutely astounding talent that will surely take our sound to a whole new level. We played songs from all the main Tigertailz studio albums and despite the fact that it was hotter than a sauna in that practice room, it all sounded amazing!
Robin's CV is breathtaking and reads like a rock n'roll who's who. He spent five years performing and recording with Rachel Stamp, and since then has played with Bruce Dickinson, Faith No More, Dee Snider, Lars Frederiksen (Rancid), Joss Stone, Casey Chaos (Amen) and most recently GMT (featuring Bernie Torme and John McCoy).
Obviously what any band wants in the long-term is stability, but with some big shows coming up very soon, an equal and immediate priority is to get ourselves not only ready but - if possible - better than we've ever been before. With Robin behind the kit, that's a very real possibility. Where it goes from there we will see - but Robin's up for it, we're up for it, so let's 'ave it!
