Long story short. Andy started his music career in the seventies and had bands called Nymphomaniacs, Briard (the 1st punk rock act in Finland btw) and Pelle Miljoona Oy. The first half of the eighties was purely Hanoi Rocks which made 5 studio albums and toured Europe, Mid- and Far East and finally US. After Hanoi Rocks broke up, Andy re-located to Europe, formed Cherry Bombz, which toured Europe and US, recorded unplugged album Suicide Twins and also made the first Andy McCoy solo album "Too Much Ain’t Enough". Andy moved back to California and played lead guitar on Iggy Pop’s "Instinct" world tour.
To celebrate the fresh 90’s, Andy got married with Angela Nicoletti. He formed Shooting Gallery that published one self titled album. Andy also had several projects with other musicians, e.g. Nicky Hopkins (R.I.P.), Sebastian Bach, 69 Eyes aso aso. Just before mid 90’s he moved back to Europe. The second Andy McCoy solo album "Building on Tradition" was published 1995. Andy reformed another version of Shooting Gallery and toured Scandinavia. Later on he also joined forces with Pete Malmi (R.I.P.) to form Briard Revisited. They did one album and toured Finland. In the late 90’s Andy filmed the cult movie "The Real McCoy" and also recorded soundtrack for the film.
Andy met with Michael Monroe and they started to work together in the Hanoi Rocks CD box project in the early 2000’s. Soon they found themselves talking and jamming together. One thing led to another and soon a band Hanoi Revisited was introduced. Also Andy’s first book "Sheriff McCoy" came out that time, late 2001. Finally, spring 2002 Hanoi Rocks was reborn and ready to see the daylight the second time.
Today the band is stronger than ever. So, if there’s any doubt check it out and don’t expect heavy metal or punk rock or "glam" (what’s that?). Pure unadulterated rock and roll! Love it or leave it, but let your heart (not mind) do the decision. This goes to show longevity beats shooting stars by light years.
