Originally formed in early 2004 by GUNS-N-ROSES keyboardist DIZZY REED, HOOKERS-N-BLOW seemed like a great way to have some fun and get free drinks in Hollywood. Little did anyone know that almost 5 years later the "band" that was formed for a few weekend fly-outs would become a cult figure in the GN'R world and one of the most fun and unique "All Star" cover bands in the country."The response has been overwhelming", says guitarist Alex Grossi (ex-BEAUTIFUL CREATURES, QUIET RIOT),"You forget just how big Guns N Roses are, not to mention that Dizzy has been a member and co-writer of GN'R for 16 years now."
HOOKERS-N-BLOW'S set list is comprised of many GUNS-N-ROSES hits including some deeper cuts from the USE YOUR ILLUSION I and II records, along with a mix of classic rock standards. The band will also be performing some new music from REED, including music from "THE STILL LIFE" soundtrack (a movie which Dizzy recently wrote music for). The band's energy is infectious. From the first song, it is apparent how much they enjoy playing together and it does not take long for the audience to become as much a part of the show as the 5 guys on stage. "You never know what is gonna happen" says Dizzy, "and that's what makes it so fun".
JIZZY PEARL grew up on the Sunset Strip in the late 80's, which was better than any GIT or music school. He joined LOVE/HATE and in 1990 they put out their first record BLACKOUT IN THE RED ROOM, which spawned MTV hits "Blackout in the Red Room" and "Why Do You Think They Call it Dope?"
LOVE/HATE toured with AC/DC, DIO, SKID ROW and OZZY OSBOURNE. In 1992 LOVE/HATE released their follow up record, WASTED IN AMERICA, and toured the world. 1993 saw the release of LOVE/HATE'S third record, LET'S RUMBLE, which produced the smash radio hit "SPINNING WHEEL." Jizzy followed up his LOVE/HATE success by joining LA GUNS in 1998 and putting out one record with them, SHRINKING VIOLET. In 2000, Jizzy joined RATT and continued to tour with them until 2006.
