Spinal Tap is the fictional metal band featured in Rob Reiner's infamous 1984 mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap. Heralded as one of "England's loudest bands," the band is comprised of lead singer David St. Hubbins (played by Michael McKean), guitarist Nigel Tufnel (played by Christopher Guest), bassist Derek Smalls (played by Harry Shearer) and a rotating cast of drummers. The film follows the band on a frequently-desperate tour as they attempt to "tap into America."
In 2009, Spinal Tap will embark on a 30-city North American tour. The Uwigged & Unplugged tour begins on April 14 in Vancouver, BC.Official Site: Uwigged & Unplugged Dates
