FRIDAY HEADLINER:

Tygers Of Pan Tang
In the May 1979 issue of Sounds magazine, the term ‘New Wave of British Heavy Metal’ was used to describe the second wave of heavy metal bands that emerged in the late 1970s.

It was an era considered to be a major foundation stone for many metal genres. The pioneers of NWOBHM who have had a major influence with their musical style include Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Saxon, Diamond Head and…Tygers of Pan Tang.

A few songs later Red Hawk Rising was formed and by November 16th 2016 after Tim Churchman (drums) and Steve Parsons (bass) joined, we performed our first live show at Alleycat Club on London’s infamous Denmark Street.

The Miser
"This band meld early Trouble to Budgie and Atomic Rooster. It's a late '70s riff rage.... While their sound is a little more organically doom-laden than Angel Witch circa 1980, somehow they've also captured the appeal that made the cult NWOBHM masters so popular in those formative days. The promise and potential is there for a big push forward." Malcolm Dome - Metal Hammer, March 2015.
