In a age when it seems that anything worth noting came from Los Angeles
or New York, it was a refreshing change to find a band that have risen
from San Francisco.
Back in 1986 it was lead singer Davy Vain who decided that he wanted to
form a band that fulfilled his rocking needs.
Power, Songs, Melody and bristling energy.
Davy had released his own demo cassette in 86 with the now legend axe
man of Metallica Kirk Hammett doing the producing.
He soon found a group of local musicians to work with, guitarists Danny
West and James Scott, Bassist Ashley Mitchell and Drummer Tommy Rickard.
Constant touring the west coast and a couple more Demo tapes released
saw Vain catch the attention of Island records, who signed them in
August 1988.
Then it was off to Canada with ex Rush producer Paul Northfield to
record the now classic September 1989 release NO RESPECT.
The first single release from NO RESPECT was the full on stormer BEAT
THE BULLET, this with air play on MTV and Tommy Vance’s Friday Rock Show
Vain were the hottest ticket in town.
Vain hit the road in November 1989 with Skid row performing to sell out
shows across the UK before heading out to Japan in 1990 with there own
headlining show.
1991 and Vain are back in the Studio recording there second album ALL
THOSE STRANGERS, but internal reorganisation of Island records forced
them to be dropped along with many other acts from the label, to this
day All those Strangers has never been released, apart from a few
cassettes to the press.
In 1993 Davy and the band, now with ex Kill City Dragons drummer Danny
Fury release MOVE ON IT, on Polystar records.
A notable addition to this record was ex Guns and Roses drummer Steven
Adler pounding the skins on three of the tracks (Davy had been working
with Adler on a side project called Roadcrew).
Fast forward to 1995 and Davy releases there third studio album FADE,
this album had musicians from Davy`s past and future, Steve Adler and
Tom Rickard played on some tracks as did future Vain drummer Louie Senor.
Davy played lead and rhythm guitars on most tracks with Danny West and
James Scott apearing along the way.
Just to note that Davy produced or co produced all of his own albums at
his Studio “The Groove Room” north of San Francisco, Davy has made this
studio his perfect playground for writing and making his own brand of
rock, using vintage equipment that he has collected from all over the
world.
As Davy has to make a living and owning his own Studio, most of his time
is spent Producing albums for other bands, so there was a long wait
until the next offering from Davy and the boys, and was it ever worth
the wait.
IN FROM OUT OF NOWHERE was released on Jackie Rainbow Records in July
2000, a blast into the past with rockers like Push Me Over and brilliant
melodic tunes like New York and Yellow.
Davy released the CD under his own name but was joined by Jamie Scott,
Ashley Mitchell and Louie Senor on drums, second guitar was handled by a
friend of Davy`s Craig Behrhorst.
And here we now are in 2005, another long stint from IN FROM OUT OF
NOWHERE but Davy and the guys have been busy, now back with original
member Danny West, Vain are set to release a new CD in spring 2005 and
are set to embark on there first UK tour since 1989.
Great music keeps coming back while others just Fade away.
APRIL 2005
DANGER DANGER

Following the huge success of Danger Danger's Sweden Rock performance
last year and the subsequent success of club shows in the USA, the D2
boys will return to the UK in April. Buoyed by the return of original
vocalist Ted Poley, Danger Danger are set to once again rock the UK. It's
been thirteen long years (really!!) since Bruno, Steve and Ted last
shared the stage in the UK. Back then it was the Screw It Tour, opening
for Kiss and playing a one off headline show at The Astoria in London.
Having sold almost a million albums, (the debut album going gold in the
USA) and having single chart success with Bang Bang, Naughty Naughty and
Monkey Business, Danger Danger have become one of the most endearing
acts of the entire melodic hard rock era. This time around it will be
five shows showcasing material from Danger Danger, Screw It and the
hugely impressive doodleyroach. And in response from many requests to the
band they will be playing a longer set than usual, promising to dig into
every album, playing everything you could wish for and more!!!
Bang Bang, Naughty Naughty, Monkey Business and I Still Think About You
will all be making an appearance along with a whole bunch of stuff from
the 'roach. In fact Steve West wants to play it all - I'm sure nobody
would complain about that!!!
Support on all shows comes from Yorkshire's favourite sons Deadline who
won a whole new army of fans following their great showing on the recent
Tyketto tour. They are without doubt the hardest working band on the
circuit. As always the bands rely on your support to make it a party,
and a party it will be.
