Talk:The Tigers (New Zealand band)

Untitled
Revision as of 22:31, 8 June 2006 The Tigers was a four piece rock band from Wellington, New Zealand.

The band was formed in 1980, and quickly developed an enviable live reputation, securing performance slots including the Sweetwaters Music Festival while touring the North Island of New Zealand in 1980/81. The single 'Heart Dont Stop' was memorable for the provocative image (at the time) of a naked breast full size on a gloss cover. 'Red Dress' got plenty of radio airplay, and was well recognised at live performances around NZ. Excessive volume by the sound engineer was given as the reason for the bar staff striking at the DB International, Rotorua, while Kiri Te Kanawa was staying there.
