Tattoo Rodeo

So was looking at some old concert tickets and noticed I had seen these guys in the early 90's opening for a Bad Company/Damn Yankees co-headline tour in Ottawa.

I have a vague recollection of this, but my question is...how the hell did they get on a fairly major tour, in Canada, in the early 90's.
I'd guess pay to play, or play for free, but still...there were a ton more bands that had a least a minor hit. Someone like Tangier

I don't remember them having any buzz, or radio play, or much of anything. I did like a few of their tunes though..

Tattoo Rodeo were formerly known as White Sister and had a couple of albums out under that name.

I think that was a package tour put together by the label in 1991. All 3 were signed to labels that were owned by Warner Music Group. Bad Company (ATCO), Damn Yankees (Warner Bros.) and Tattoo Rodeo (Atlantic). The 3 bands toured together through the US as well.

Great band. Their 2nd album Skin is really good. Not your typical hair metal. I seem to recall a moderate push by Atlantic, but the ballad never really took off, so buried they became.
