Sorry, it's got to be asked

Why do Tigertailz get 3 separate entries? Are they not the "same band"? They do after all link together.

Looks like a Barclay James Harvest situation: the stupid members won't just be in a band together, they've got to go fork off bands of their own with identical names.

If you take a look on the official Tigertailz site at [www.tigertailzrockz.com] http://www.tigertailzrockz.com/ you can see that two of the members give 'Tigertailz' as one of the other bands they used to play in.... very weird.

BTW: three bands or not, on of those drummers used to be in a death metal band called Desecration. Great link from glam directly to death metal!

There was one band called Tigertailz from the '80s until about 1995. In 2003-2004, two different reunion versions of the band got together and began touring and recording.

The first one to get together has released a single and has an album on the way. That Tigertailz has this official web site:

The second one to get together has appeared on a compilation album and has an album on the way. That Tigertailz has this official web site:

I'm not about to pick one over the other as the official continuation of the other. Until they resolve that themselves, we'll just have to deal with all three.

Here's the run-down from [www.rockdetector.com] http://www.rockdetector.com/officialbio,9332.sm :

By early 2003 it appeared a TIGERTAILZ reunion of sorts was underway. Frontman Steevi Jaimz and drummer Ace Finchum holding auditions for new members whilst a compilation album entitled 'Original Sin' was slated for release. New recruits would be announced as guitarist Joolz Routen and bassist Greg Wraith, the latter in fact being former WRAITH and DEUCE guitarist Greg Russell. The new look TIGERTAILZ debuted at Nottingham Rock City supporting ENUFF Z'NUFF on August 24th.

TIGERTAILZ added a brand new song 'King Of The World' to the Perris Records 2004 compilation 'Hollywood Hairspray III'. By this stage Jaimz, Finchum and Russell had been joined by new guitarists Darayus 'Dee Zee' Kaye of TATTOOED LOVE BOYS and THE UNLOVED together with Marcus Thurston of STRANGEFIRE and SIAM. Both new members also had spent a tenure with PAUL DIANNO's band KILLERS.

Somewhat confusingly another version of TIGERTAILZ sprang up that same year, vocalist, Kim Hooker, guitarist Jay Pepper and bassist Pepsi Tate being joined by new drummer Mic Hourihan, previously a member of STORMCROW, NECKBRACE and Death Metal band DESECRATION. Following a demo 'Demolition Mission' a brand new studio album, 'Berzerk 2.0', would soon be recorded.

The Jaimz fronted TIGERTAILZ would be the first to announce live action in 2005, headlining the Italian 'Glam Attack' festival in Turin during March. In May, Sanctuary Records re-issued both 'Bezerk' and 'Banzai' albums in re-mastered format. Pepsi Tate re-designed all new artwork for both releases, which featured extra tracks culled from the WAZBONES sessions.

The Kim Hooker fronted version of the band also included a newly recorded version of 'Dirty Needles' to the Perris Records compilation 'Hollywood Hairspray IV'. Not to be outdone, the Steevi Jaimz led troupe would be found to be working on new album material in collusion with SCRATCH, ANIMAL and ZAN CLAN guitarist Chris Laney. Meantime, Steevi Jaimz TIGERTAILZ saw a shift in line-up as Greggz "Karnage" Russell switched back to his more traditional guitar role, Thurston exited and Darayuz Kaye moved over to bass.

The Hooker fronted TIGERTAILZ, having installed new drummer Matt Blackout, lent support to BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION in Germany.
