QUIET RIOT is a rock & roll phenomenon. Famously described as the first heavy metal band to top the pop chart at #1 on Billboard magazine, the Los Angeles quartet became an overnight sensation thanks to their monster 1983 smash album “Metal Health”. QUIET RIOT first signed a record deal with Pasha records in the dawn of the 80’s at a time when radio was dominated by the “new wave” sound. Their hard driving pop metal sound was deemed “out” by record labels so the debut album “Metal Health” was against the grain. Driven by the irresistible double whammy of the rendition of the old Slade chestnut "Cum on Feel the Noize,” and their original song “Metal Health” (Bang your head) the album stormed up the U.S. charts, duly reaching the number one spot and going platinum five times over in the process. Against all odds it jumped over Michael Jackson’s “Thriller and “Synchronicity” by The Police to land in the number one slot on the Billboard album chart. This opened the door for the other Sunset Strip “Hair Metal” bands to get their record deals and kicked off the craze that dominated MTV and radio in the 80’s. The sales of the “Metal Health” album have now well exceeded the 10 million mark worldwide. Quiet Riot went on to have other hits and over a dozen albums and still plays live with a line up consisting of Rudy Sarzo, Alex Grossi, Jizzy Pearl and Johnny Kelly. • Over 15 Million Records Sold Worldwide • METAL HEALTH - The First Heavy Metal Album in History to go to NUMBER 1 on the BILLBOARD TOP 200 Chart • Over 2.8 Million Monthly SPOTIFY Listeners • Over One Million Social Media Followers • The Critically Acclaimed QUIET RIOT Documentary "Well Now You're Here, There's No Way Back" recommended by ROLLING STONE and spent 2 years in rotation on SHOWTIME Performing the Hits: • CUM ON FEEL THE NOIZE • BANG YOUR HEAD (METAL HEALTH) • MAMA WEER ALL CRAZEE NOW • SLICK BLACK CADILLAC • THE WILD AND THE YOUNG & MORE.
VIXEN There's only one all-female hard rock band from the 80's who: · Sold over 2 million albums worldwide · Had six #1 videos on MTV. · Had four songs in Billboard's Top 100. Vixen was founded in St. Paul, MN by high-schooler guitarist Jan Kuehnemund. The desire to achieve the rock star dreams like so many before her, Jan took her group to Hollywood but soon retooled the line-up, which included; vocalist Janet Gardner, drummer Roxy Petrucci and bassist Share Ross (Pedersen). In 1987 a pair of big brass balls at EMI Records decided to roll the dice with Vixen, despite all the stereotypes regarding bands fronted by chicks was then initiated into the male dominated club of hard rock. EMI released their self-named debut album "Vixen" featuring the groups’ first hit "Edge of a Broken Heart" penned by Richard Marx and Fee Waybill (The Tubes). MTV became Vixen’s playground and so coupled with exhaustive touring Vixen embarked on their ride. Piling on more hits the band charted Billboard at #22 with ballad, "Cryin’ “and "Love Made Me" at #36. The road continued to call opening for Ozzy Osbourne, Scorpions, Eddie Money and many others. Vixens had firmly distinguished themselves as a premiere rock act to be taken seriously. With the pistons still popping, Vixen released their second album; "Rev It Up" was a success with "How Much Love" as the prized single performed live on The Arsenio Hall Show. The group Vixen-ize their fans on worldwide tours with heavyweights KISS and Scorpions, which fueled the International frenzy. The ballad, "Love Is A Killer" rose on the charts along with the rocker "Not A Minute Too Soon" once again establishing Vixen as not just performers but hit songwriters.
