Tiger Army was amazing!
by MissVazquez on 11/1/09Grove of Anaheim - AnaheimThe band put on a great show and the venue is very intimate. I just wish security would control stupid mosh pit dancers a bit better. Overall, the show was great.

About
Tiger Army played their first show at seminal California DIY venue 924 Gilman in 1996. A trio with guitar, stand-up bass & drums led by singer, guitarist & songwriter Nick 13, the band’s sound is a unique blend of punk and Midcentury rock 'n' roll, emphasizing songwriting and melody.
Four albums were released on Hellcat/Epitaph, starting with their self-titled debut in 1999. Heavy touring continued through the end of 2008, when they wrapped the cycle for ‘Music From Regions Beyond’, produced by the legendary Jerry Finn. The album yielded the single “Forever Fades Away” and their highest visibility with favorable reviews in the ‘New York Times’ & a national TV appearance on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’, yet they’ve always been outsiders to the mainstream, authenticity never compromised.
Nick 13 switched gears to play Americana music solo, releasing & touring a self-titled album on Sugar Hill Records in 2011. Tiger Army continued in a limited capacity, still playing ‘Octoberflame’, a multi-night SoCal festival curated by 13 (which had its tenth installment in 2019 with 2 sold out shows at The Wiltern in Los Angeles) and known for the band’s different setlists each night featuring deep cuts, surprise covers & guest musicians.
The band returned to full-time status in 2015 with the recording of 'V •••–' (their fifth album), released the following spring on Lunatone/Rise & supported with extensive touring over four continents that lasted into late 2017. 2018 saw the release of the tiki/surf themed 'Dark Paradise' EP. 2019 was marked by the creation & release of 'Retrofuture', their sixth full length LP – they managed to tour in North America, Germany & the UK before the pandemic struck.
Tiger Army is known for its passionately devoted fanbase, with thousands sporting tattoos of lyrics, song titles, or the band’s signature “TigerBat” logo. Any set is a journey that takes the audience from romantic ballads like “Dark and Lonely Night” or the Rock en español “Mi Amor La Luna”, to high energy stompers like “F.T.W.”.
They celebrate their 25th anniversary in 2021, come see what’s led to the longevity for yourself at a live show when you can!

Rating: 5 out of 5 Tiger Army brought it !
by dewolf892 on 10/31/09Grove of Anaheim - AnaheimAbsolutely kicked ass from the onset! Thought Nick13's fingers would catch fire. They brought power and enthusiasm with and it never left the house until they did. The Dark Shadows were great, these Aussie chicks can play i was not disappointed. Unfortunately in my opinion 45 Graves were lacking, saw them in 82' and hardly recognized a thing about them it was like bad musical satire.

by Psycho328 on 10/31/09Grove of Anaheim - AnaheimAwesome show, full of energy just wish their set had been longer.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Opening acts weak...
by GilEsparza on 10/31/09Grove of Anaheim - AnaheimTiger Army was as good as ever but having to sit through the 2nd opening act was painful. First time in my life I had to purchase ear plugs to take the edge off the blood curddling screams that pierced the ears like nails on a chalk board from the 2nd band. Surprised they are able to open for such a great band like Tiger Army.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Worth the long, long trip.
by TheGreatLL on 10/31/09Grove of Anaheim - AnaheimTiger Army ALWAYS does a great show and this was no exception. I flew from PA just for Octoberflame and any single night was worth the trip. The energy was incredible. The opening acts were awesome too. Nice of Nick 13 to promote some rockin' chicks.
