Glass Tiger take to the road to celebrate 20th anniversary, new songs
TORONTO (CP) – Remember the song Don’t Forget Me (When I’m Gone)? How about Someday?
Glass Tiger hopes so. The popular ’80s band is trying for a comeback with a 20th anniversary CD and DVD called No Turning Back. The quintet – original members Alan Frew on vocals, Sam Reid on keyboards, Al Connelly on guitar, Wayne Parker on bass and newcomer Chris McNeill on drums – will also embark on a national tour starting in September.
To be released August 24, the CD will include two new songs, No Turning Back and Give It Away.
“Our writing is as strong as ever, with the same spark and verve that we had back when Don’t Forget Me (When I’m Gone) was crafted,” said frontman Frew. “Our performances have never been tighter, and we are playing at the highest level.”
The CD will also feature radio versions of the band’s hits as well as some rarities and alternative versions. The DVD will include 13 of Glass Tiger’s music videos and some behind the scenes footage.
Glass Tiger became a household name in the mid-1980s with the release of its debut record The Thin Red Line.
With Bryan Adams on backup vocals, the song Don’t Forget Me (When I’m Gone) became a smash hit in Canada, as well as the U.S. where it reached No. 2 on the Billboard Chart. The album set a record for the fastest selling debut recording in Canadian history.
The band has five Juno awards and a Grammy nomination to its credit.
