Biography
With a sound that harks back to the classic hard rock bands of the 1970s (but without the bell-bottoms), Vancouver, Canada's Pride Tiger manage to sound completely contemporary while still reflecting the group's classic roots and influences. Led by singing drummer Matt Wood and the songwriting of guitarist Sunny Dhak, with bassist Mike Payette and guitarist Bob Froese adding backup vocals, Pride Tiger officially formed in 2005 after Dhak, Wood, and Froese left the metal band 3 Inches of Blood and Payette left the thrash band S.T.R.E.E.T.S. (all four had previously played together in Goatsblood at one point) and joined forces. Recording at Sunset Lodge Studios in L.A. with producer and engineer Matt Hyde, the band released an EP, Wood, Dhak, Froese, Payette, in 2006, followed by a full-length album, The Lucky Ones, in 2007 on EMI Canada. ~ Steve Leggett, RoviWikipedia on Answers.com:

Pride Tiger was a Canadian hard rock music group formed in 2005 in Vancouver. Consisting of vocalist and drummer Matt Wood, guitarists Bob Froese and Sunny Dhak and bassist Mike Payette, the band released its debut EP in 2006. They subsequently signed with EMI Music Canada, which released their full-length debut in June 2007.
The name "Pride Tiger" comes from a mix of "ride the tiger" (a lyric from the Dio song, "Holy Diver") and "Pride Pops" (a drink similar to apple cider).[citation needed]
The band's single "White Witch Woman Blues" has been playlisted on CBC Radio 3 and other Canadian radio stations. It has also been noted, by many fans and other musicians, including Alice Cooper, that Pride Tiger bears a resemblance to the classic rock band Thin Lizzy.[citation needed]
Dhak, Froese and Wood are all former members of 3 Inches of Blood. Payette is a former member of S.T.R.E.E.T.S.
As of June 2009, the band has broken up.
