The Blasters were great and that's who I went to see. I didn't know Tiger Army's music and found it so loud that it was uncomfortable. Luckily we had access to the fair and just went there. I'm sure Tiger Army fans were having a GREAT time.Written on Aug 01 2011

Whether speaking of the latest album III: Ghost Tigers Rise or Tiger Army in general, the story can be summed up in one word - perseverance. Members shot, members changed, situations that would have finished other bands a thousand times over and still the band has recently delivered its best album to date under the guidance of singer/guitarist/songwriter Nick 13.
III: Ghost Tigers Rise is the band's most distinguished work yet, and while it rests comfortably within the “psychobilly” style that Tiger Army is credited with bringing to the attention of the United States underground, it also transcends genre with its intoxicating mix of vintage punk, rock'n'roll and bittersweet melody. One might hear strains of 80's darkpop or postpunk (think Smiths, The Cure, or Depeche Mode) or a hillbilly pedal steel guitar, but the emphasis is squarely on songwriting, never on novelty or gimmick. Atmospheric and dark, vibrant and beautiful, songs like “Ghostfire” or “Rose of the Devil's Garden” show a band that is connected with the lineage of the past's great rock'n'roll and pop, but the band is no “retro” act - 13 has crafted a sound that is both distinct and unique, no simple feat in a time where rehashing without innovation is the order of the day.
The Blasters embody the best traditions of American Music, performing with passion and integrity that for over three decades has won the hearts and souls of fans worldwide. Composed of founding members vocalist-guitarist Phil Alvin, drummer Bill Bateman and bassist John Bazz with Keith Wyatt on guitar, they carry on a hard-won legacy as one of the most recognizable and credible bands in American Music. Their influences range from the likes of George Jones and Carl Perkins to Ike Turner, Howlin’ Wolf, James Brown and Big Joe Turner, all blending into a sound that ignores the lines between Rock & Roll, Country, Blues and Rockabilly. "4-11-44" (Rainman Records) is the Blasters' fifth and latest studio album, featuring fourteen tracks that extend the band’s legacy of classic recordings. Fronted by Phil Alvin's powerful vocals, the band follows through with spontaneity, power and grit that make their live performances into experiences not to be missed.
