Bio
........Salty Dog was created when lead singer Jimmi Bleacher was introduced to the future bassist, Mike Hannon, back in 1986. Bleacher, with Hannon, moved to a gruff Los Angeles suburb from the Midwest, and joined original guitarist Scott Lane (later replaced by Pete Reveen) and drummer Khurt Maier. The band members fully steeped themselves in the exciting and lurid world of the LA Glam Rock era, pioneered by bands like Motley Crue, Hanoi Rocks, Faster Pussycat and Hollywood Rose (later to blossom into the legendary Guns n' Roses and Tracii's band, L.A. Guns.) Salty Dog played their first gig at the Whiskey-aGo-Go on Sunset Strip in May of 1988. After becoming a local sensation, Salty Dog caught the attention of Geffen Records, who signed them to a contract. They traveled across the pond to Robert Plant's Rockfield Studios in Wales to record their one and only full-length release, "Every Dog Has Its Day." They teamed up with the extremely talented Geoff Workman who engineered pioneering rock hits by Forigner like "Head Games" (1979): "Dirty White Boy", "Women" and "Rev On The Red Line." After cutting an extremely individualistic amalgam of hard rock, blues and metal, and filled with hope and the promise of a high-power record label, the band returned to the States and toured the U.S. They taped two videos, "Come Along" and "Lonesome Fool," but received little support from their label and had only limited play on the only medium for rock videos, MTV. Now, on the tailend of a cresting wave, the Glam Rock era was coming apart as fast as it appeared, replaced by a decidely edgier and darker-toned combination of hardcore punk, indie and alternative rock called ..grunge... This new phenomenon was eagerly adopted by "Generation X" who threw the baby out with the bathwater, growing tired of the popular representations of this music era. Bands like Bon Jovi, White Lion and Europe, were giving other incredibly talented rock bands "a bad name." With the record companies scrambling to sign the newest hot ticket, the finely-tuned machine of the late '80s rock scene quickly fell into obscurity. The band broke up not long after the release of their album in 1990, with each member trying to reshape their lives in an era of recession that plagued the '90s......... .. .... ...... YOUR FRIENDS TOLD ME WHO YOU ARE.. SO I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.. I'LL CATCH YUH, YOU COCKSUCKER.. AND WHEN I DO BOY, GOD BLESS YUH!...... ..Come Along...... .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. ..
