One of the original San Francisco Bay Area Thrash Metal Bands, Laaz Rockit was formed in 1982 with guitarist Aaron Jellum and vocalist Michael Coons. Soon joining them were Phil Kettner on lead guitar, Willy Lange on bass, and Victor Agnello on drums.
Laaz Rockit began playing at San Francisco Bay Area Metal Clubs "The Stone," and "Keystone" in Berkeley. After selling out numerous shows, the band came out with their first record, "City's Gonna Burn."
Merry Christmas guys, I bought the remasters with the DVD's and their great. Still love my Japan imports of all the Laaz Rockit CD's but these new DVD's are killer! You guys should make a video for Erased. That's my favorite track off LFD. Nobody thrashes harder than the almighty Laaz Rockit. Take it easy guys and have a great Holiday! Your fan for life, -Ryan
