Tiger Army took shape in Berkeley, California, and later settled in Los Angeles, and through every lineup change one man has held the wheel: Nick 13, the singer, guitarist and main songwriter. The sound is psychobilly with a romantic streak, rockabilly bones and punk speed wrapped in the moonlit croon of a greaser who reads poetry.
The players around him have come and gone, among them Geoff Kresge, London May, Adam Carson and drummer Mike Fasano, and the band put out its records on Hellcat. Music From Regions Beyond in 2007 carried "Forever Fades Away", a swooning, reverb-soaked number that leans hard on the heartsick side of the sound. All told the band has made six studio albums and four EPs.
