Tiger Army News Archive 2006

            STUDIO NEWS! Ok, we've been promising you some news on the next record for awhile now -- here it is!  Tiger Army is slated to enter the studio this November to begin work on their fourth full-length album, the follow-up to III: Ghost Tigers Rise!  Furthermore, the band has announced that the album will be produced by acclaimed producer Jerry Finn, known for his work with such artists as AFI, Morrissey, Rancid, Bad Religion and Smoking Popes among others!  Nick 13 had this to say on the subject: "I'm incredibly excited to work with Jerry.  He was the only person on my wishlist of prospective producers.  We see eye to eye on everything from our love of analog tape and vintage gear to the sad state of rock music, and I can't wait to hear what someone of his caliber will do for us sonically."  This album marks the first time the band has worked with an outside producer!
            Tour Ruled!  A huge "Thank you" to everyone who watched us on our dates supporting AFI and/or the headlining shows in between, it was one of the most amazing tours we've done.  Another huge "Thank you" to our dear friends in AFI for taking us on tour and giving us the opportunity to play before the largest crowds we've ever played to (by the way, Nick 13 performed "A Single Second" with AFI during their set at the Long Beach Arena, which will apparently be on a forthcoming DVD).  We're pretty sure that we've really played our last show before the record is done, so we'll see you everywhere next year!  News about the next album will be posted here as soon as we get it, so check back soon!

            Tiger Army on Tour this week! The band begins its West Coast headlining run on Wednesday, June 21st in Reno, NV! Also scheduled are Seattle, WA -- Portland, OR -- Bend, OR -- Chico, CA -- San Francisco, CA -- Santa Cruz, CA and Irvine, CA where the band headlines Hootenanny 2006! As of right now, no dates are planned beyond these shows until songwriting and recording for a new album has been completed, meaning, if you don't catch us now, you *probably* won't get another chance until 2007, so don't sleep on it! Support bands for all shows (except Hootenanny) will be The Briggs and the Black Rose Phantoms. Go to Tourdates now! 
            San Francisco show sold out
!
The show at Slim's on 6/29 is now sold out! If you live in NorCal but didn't get tickets in time, we recommend heading to Santa Cruz or Chico instead, they're fairly close drives!
            Thank you England! Tiger Army would like to thank everyone who came out to see the now-concluded headlining shows in England. We had a great time and we look forward to returning next year when the new album has been released! TxAxNxDx!

            English headlining tour about to begin! Tiger Army begins their run of seven headlining shows in England this Monday, May 29th!  The final tour routing is viewable at Tourdates now, including recently added shows in LONDON and MANCHESTER!  Our apologies to Scotland and Wales, time and routing constraints foiled the band's desire to play for you on this run, but we shall return!  It is however extremely unlikely that Tiger Army will return to the UK or the continent until 2007, so don't miss this tour, it will be well worth traveling for! 
            
Tickets for West Coast shows on sale now! If you haven't heard yet, Tiger Army will do a short tour of the West Coast in June after their return from England!  Reno, Seattle, Oregon and Northern California are all covered, concluding with a headlining slot at the 2006 Hootenanny in OC!  ALL currently planned shows are viewable NOW at Tourdates, check them out!  Advance tickets are always recommended, many of these shows will sell out (especially San Francisco)! Following Hootenanny, the band will resume songwriting until ready to enter the studio.  To those who live in the East Coast, South, Midwest, Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan and anywhere else that it's been too long since we've played -- we love hearing from you & when the next record is done, we will be back!

            Tiger Army plays UK headlining shows after Moz tour! For those of you were unable to get tickets to see Tiger Army support Morrissey in England between May 8th - 28th, good news! Tiger Army will headline SEVEN shows in the UK from May 29th - June 5th! More info is available at the Tourdates section!

Currently listed are: Brighton (30-5), Bristol (31-5), Nottingham (1-6), Newcastle (3-6) & Sheffield (4-6). Tickets for these shows are on sale now!
            
West Coast June shows + Hootenanny 2006! Tiger Army hits the West Coast of the USA from June 21 - July 1st! This brief tour begins in Reno, NV and concludes in Orange County as a Tiger Army headlines Hootenanny 2006 in Irvine, CA! Support bands on all shows (except Hootenanny) are The Briggs and Black Rose Phantoms. Cities confirmed so far:
Reno, NV -- Seattle, WA -- Chico, CA -- Santa Cruz, CA -- San Francisco, CA! Tickets for most of these shows go onsale THIS WEEKEND! At least one show is being booked in Oregon, so keep an eye on the Tourdates section as one or possibly two dates have yet to be added!
            
Album Update! Tiger Army's spent most of April in the practice pad, continuing work on new material. Since the last news update, one of the most talented & sought-after producers in rock has agreed to do the next record, more on that later! Over half the album is now written, and work will continue until it's time to begin rehearsing the set for the UK Morrissey tour. After the Hootenanny on July 1st, the band will once again resume work on new material until they're ready to enter the studio -- expected start date: this summer! The writing process has taken a bit longer than originally anticipated, but believe us, the new album will be worth the wait!
            
Gig Archive fixed... The Tiger Army Gig Archive  (which can be found at Tourdates) has been corrected -- somehow 5 gigs from the 2003 tour with Rancid went missing. It should now be a complete listing of every live appearance the band has made. If you think you know of a show that is *not* listed, let us know! By the way, the band played its 400th show this spring!

            Anaheim tickets! Not long after the last news item, the last of four Anaheim HOB shows (Feb 2/3/4/5) sold out. As usual, people who did not get tickets were bummed. What is *not* usual, is that some of you will get a second chance, albeit a brief one. We were able to get an extremely limited number of tickets released for each night to combat scalpers. Check at Ticketmaster or the HOB box office (no service charge) for availability, but do it quick 'cause when these tickets are gone they ain't comin' back! ;-)
            
San Diego show! Due to popular demand, a 5th SoCal show has been added, this one for the House of Blues in San Diego! Tiger Army will play SD on Saturday, February 11th, supported by The Briggs and The Phenomenauts. This show, like the ones in Anaheim, will sell out quickly, so don't delay in getting tickets if you want to go! Tickets for the 2/11 HOB San Diego show go on sale THIS Friday (Friday the 13th!) at 10 AM. Tickets will be available at the HOB box office with no service charge, or online at Ticketmaster. Check Tourdates for more info. There will be no shows in Southern California outside of Anaheim + San Diego until at *least* mid-summer!
            
Tiger Army TATTOOS! Hop on over to the Photos section to check out the Tattoo gallery, which has just been updated again! It now features almost 70 T.A. tattoos! Have one that isn't up? Send it in!
            
Merch restock... Just a heads up for those who are interested, several items that ran out just before Xmas have been restocked at the Tiger Army webstore. Check it out at the Merchandise section. There will also be some new stuff at the upcoming shows. That's it for now, hope you're all having a Happy New Year so far & we'll see you in SoCal soon!
