Following a support slot on Morrisey¹s UK tour, Tiger Army announce headline shows of their own. Tiger Army have been touring in support of III: Ghost Tigers Rise, the acclaimed album that has seen them on the road with Social Distortion and Rancid as well as on their own "Dark Romance Tour,"
which culminated with five sold out nights at the House Of Blues in Hollywood. More recently the band took a break from writing the follow-up to Ghost Tigers to play four sold out nights at the Anaheim House Of Blues and two shows in San Diego, where they debuted a new song, "LunaTone," which will make an appearance on their highly anticipated fourth as-yet-untitled album later this year.
The Tiger Army/ Morrissey correlation is a phenomenon long understood by fans of both acts and a relationship that was cemented when Morrissey spent his birthday watching Tiger Army in Hollywood over the summer, tapping his fingers to Tiger Army's cover of "The Loop." Both artists value song-craft, strike deep emotional chords in their fans, and share a strong following among those who embody Southern California's longtime love affair with roots rock'n' roll and punk. "The fact that Morrissey's new music is as honest
and powerful as it was when he began is an incredible inspiration to me," said Tiger Army's Nick 13. "I think when all is said and done, he will be regarded as one of the best of all time - an artist the caliber of Frank
Sinatra."
Tiger Army will join Morrissey on his first UK tour in support of his new album in Manchester on May 8. From there, the band will play 15 shows with Morrissey until the conclusion of his tour in London on May 28.
All of the Morrissey shows in the UK are already sold out, however Tiger Army have confirmed a handful of UK headlining dates! Meanwhile, Tiger Army will play seven shows in March on US soil, including two dates with Morrissey. The headlining shows will take place in Scottsdale, Albuquerque, Englewood, Salt Lake City and Las Vegas. The two Morrissey/ Tiger Army shows will happen in Tulsa and Oklahoma City.
