"We're so pleased to welcome Paulo Furtado a.k.a. The Legendary Tigerman to our growing family of exceptional artists," said Dirty Water Records partner, Matt Hunter. "We've long been fans of his since way back with Portuguese garage-punk legends the Tédio Boys and are very much looking forward to working with him on 'Misfit'."

Multi-instrumentalist, blues passionate, The Legendary Tigerman began a solo career in 2000. He is one of the leading artists of the new Portuguese scene, playing with the clichés of rocker macho, fascinated by the 50's aesthetics.

Earlier this month, the video (and albums second single) for 'Motorcycle Boy' was released with a 'Staff Pick' from Vevo and featured in an online RedBull campaign. 'Motorcycle Boy' will officially release as the album's second single in the USA and UK on July, 13th everywhere music is sold online. The video was shot by directors James F. Coton and Masato Riesser. Equal parts documentary and music video, 'Motorcycle Boy' offers a raw glimpse into the slowly vanishing culture of Bōsōzoku - the motorcycle gangs that once ruled the roads of Japan back in the 90's.

Tigerman is all about roots, the essence of things, always keeping it real, gritty and true. From 2001 to 2006 he recorded three records that established him as one of Europe's best kept secrets, playing festivals from Japan to Brazil.
