I didn't know that! I'll have to check it out.
Amazing times. I was in South Florida back then, and it was a nonstop party with many of the local bands, like Elysium and Dragonfly -- and their groupies.
The biggest "name" -- although few outside of Florida know it -- was Saigon Kick. They were more commercial metal, though. They had one big hit, then pretty much destroyed their future by selling out and pi$$ing off the local rock stations. Haven't heard the name since.
Seems like a lifetime ago!
