Review.- Glass Tiger is a
Canadian rock band formed in
1984, in Newmarket, Ontario.

Originally named 'Tokyo', the
band was able to produce two
hit singles, 'Don't Forget Me
(When I'm Gone)' (their
biggest success of the band
reached number 1 on Canadian
charts and number 2 on US Pop
Charts) and 'Someday,' both of
which come from their debut
album, The Thin Red Line
(1986), produced by Jim
Vallance.

Glass Tiger won three Juno
Awards in 1986 and two more in
1987. They were also nominated
for a Grammy Award in 1987.
After 1988's Diamond Sun,
drummer Michael Hanson quit,
leaving guitarist Al Connelly,
vocalist Alan Frew, bassist
Wayne Parker and keyboard
player Sam Reid.

After their third album Simple
Mission and a brief Canadian
tour in early 1993, the band
went on a lengthy hiatus. Lead
singer Alan Frew released two
solo albums before the band
reformed and began touring
again around 2003.

On November 6, 2004 Glass
Tiger hosted a Saturday night
retro show on CIQB-FM in
Barrie, Ontario under the
directon of station program
director Darren Stevens.

In 2005 the band released a
new DVD collection No Turning
Back. On June 23, 2005, they
appeared on the NBC television
show Hit Me Baby One More
Time, performing their classic
hit 'Don't Forget Me (When I'm
Gone)' and covering
'Everything You Want'
(originally recorded by
Vertical Horizon). Although
they lost the audience voting
to Thelma Houston, Glass Tiger
were judged the winners by
online voters.

In a mid-2006 interview on
Entertainment Tonight Canada,
Glass Tiger hinted they were
back in the studio to record
new material. Meanwhile, the
band continues to tour
throughout Canada. A new DVD
titled 'Glass Tiger Live in
Concert' featuring the band in
concert from the 1980s was
also released in 2006.
