Biography

Heavy Metal band from Los Angeles, California, USA, formed in 1983. They are best known for their songs "Island in the Sun" and "God Blessed Video". The band's initial line-up consisted of former [a=Rainbow] singer frontman [a=Graham Bonnet], young Swedish guitarist [a=Yngwie Malmsteen], who had recently left American band [a=Steeler (2)], [a=Gary Shea] and [a=Jimmy Waldo] from New England and [a=Clive Burr] of [a=Iron Maiden] fame. Burr was reportedly only in the band for a week, and left upon discovering the band was going to be based in the United States, as opposed to his native England. Burr was soon replaced by former [a=Iron Butterfly] drummer [a=Jan Uvena], who had just left [a=Alice Cooper]'s backing band. Shea dubbed the group "Alcatrazz".
