biographical info
The first release for Bil Hetherington and the Asian Tigers was two years in the making. However, victory is here at last! This full length contains 10 songs with diverse subject matter ranging from lost love, found love, political-ishness, as well as rock tours.
Bil Hetherington is the singer and songwriter for the the Neckers (www.theneckers.com), a rock and roll band from Calgary known for their electric live performance and releases such as "In a Whole Mess O' Trouble", "s/t" and the latest release (peaked at #40 on Earshot), "Love and Infection".
The Asian Tigers are no slouches. The players on the record include Scott Burman (ex-Cape May), Kyle Koenig (Love and Mathematics), and Steve Elaschuk (Wagbeard, Falconhawk, Neckers). The record also features performances from Lisa Lobsinger (Reverie Sound Revue, Broken Social Scene, Apostle of Hustle), Glenn Alderson (Dirty Dirty North), as well as Lorrie Matheson (National Dust, Fire Engine Red). The record was produced by Bil and Lorrie.
Fast forward to today; the Asian Tigers are now made up of Steve, Jordan Tettensor (Fake Cops, Trikl Act) and Shawn Dicey (Ox, Rocket Smog, Brass Tacks).
The band has shows scheduled in their home town of Calgary, Alberta and will be adding touring dates in the fall.
