For A Few Dollarz More (The Archive Volume 1) (Uk) Music CD

Forming in Cardiff in Wales in the mid-1980s, with Steevi Jaimz on vocals, Jay Pepper on lead guitar, Pepsi Tate on bass and Ace Finchum on drums Tigertailz recorded their snotty and street smart debut 'Young And Crazy' in 1987. Signing to influential heavy metal label, Music For Nations (Metallica, RATT), their first record is considered a classic of 1980s British glam and hair metal. As Wales's answer to Mötley Crüe, through songs such as 'Shoot To Kill' and 'Livin' Without You', they found fans in the pages of Kerrang! And Sounds, the most influential rock and metal magazines of the time. The band found commercial success with the more radio friendly and commercially orientated 'Bezerk' in 1990, propelled into the Top 40 album charts by the single 'Heaven', plus the bubblegum classic 'Love Bomb Baby', a song that has become their calling card. Produced by Chris Tsangarides, the main change in the band for 'Bezerk' was Kim Hooker replacing original singer Steevi Jaimz on vocals. No slouches when it came to releasing singles and EPs, CD3 of this three disc set is a treasure trove of rarities and non-album cuts, kicking off with the 'Shoot To Kill' EP, plus live versions of 'Nine Livez' and 'She'z Too Hot'. Jump to December 2022 and a new dawn arose for Tigertailz, including a shows with Steel Panther, plus brand new singles. 'Love Bomb Baby' reignited interest in the band when it was used by famed Hollywood director James Gunn in his Peacemaker TV series for HBO. The band continues to show their diversity with their latest releases in 2024, 'A Little Bit Of Rock', proving there's more than just hairspray and eyeliner to these Welsh maniacs!
