This is the UK\u2019s only threat to LA rock, apart from Wrathchild, as far as I\u2019m concerned. Tigertailz may as well come from the States, as the influence of the likes as Poison, Jetboy and other such bands is so strong that some might claim it was a total rip-off.<\/p>\n

Steevi Jaimz is possibly the ultimate frontman, as he ran straight from the dressing room to the stage on opener \u2018Easy Action\u2019. I would give anyone a million dollars to try and stop this guy from moving. Steevi has all the movements of a glam Sean Harris, coupled with some Diamond Dave acrobatic kicks. The problem is, Steevi is too good at this stage of Tailz career \u2013 he\u2019s trying too hard.<\/p>\n

\u2018Young And Crazy\u2019 was a real high point of the set, with its violent verse riffing. Ace Finchum\u2019s drum solo was interesting as far as drum solo\u2019s go; Ace put on quite a show for an unknown.<\/p>\n

The best thing about the Tailz is that they work as a band \u2013 just like Poison. They all move extraordinarily well together on stage. My only moan is that the image could do with tightening, i.e. some cash or bucks, whatever you like to call it? Tigertailz still have a long way to go, but one thing\u2019s for sure, Pepsi Tate has the ultimate image as far as any other glam bands I\u2019ve ever seen; he will definitely crush any UK competition by himself alone.<\/p>\n
