Brief bio
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, wrote a book called "From Hanoi to Eternity", formed Cherry Bombz, which toured Europe and US, recorded unplugged album Suicide Twins and also made the first solo album "Too Much Ain't Enough". Around 1988 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 Michael Monroe and they started to work together in the Hanoi Rocks CD box project early 2001. Soon they found themselves talking and jamming together. One thing led to another and soon a band Hanoi Revisited was introduced. Also Andy's book "Sheriff McCoy" came out that time, late 2001. Spring 2002 Hanoi Rocks was reborn and ready to see the daylight the second time. After seven years, three albums and numerous tours and gigs, the band decided to call it a day and break up for good. Hanoi Rocks did the last eight farewell gigs in just 6 days at club Tavastia in Helsinki Easter 2009.
Currently Andy is having well earned time off but also getting the next thing ready. What's that gonna be, you'll see rather sooner than later. It can be said at this point it will be pure unadulterated true rock and roll. The Real McCoy.
BOB LOG III Musicista lo-fi blues americano. Suona la chitarra in maniera bizzarra. Certo, perché da piccolo ha perso la mano in un incidente e gliene hanno impiantata quella di una scimmia, spiega la sua biografia. Ma poi rivelerà: «La mia mano è solo molto pelosa, ma in effetti è più veloce di quella umana». Questo pazzo genio di Tucson, oltre a suonare in modo stortissimo la chitarra slide accordata a caso, coi piedi batte il tempo su rudimentali percussioni e canta con voce filtrata. Tom Waits lo adora. Bob Log invece adora soprattutto il seno delle donne. Infatti ha canzoni che s’intitolano «Boob scotch» piuttosto che «Clap your tits».
Un concerto tutto da vedere, da ridere e da gustare. Si presenta sul palco con il suo solito casco robotico argentato a cui è collegato un microfono-cornetta del telefono. Ha un vestit
