WILDSIDE Returns To The Sunset Strip

February 9, 2010

It's been nearly 20 years since WILDSIDE played Sunset Boulevard but that will change Saturday February 27, 2010. The band will share the stage at the world-famous Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, California with fellow Strip veterans TUFF, along with special guests, Swedish imports VAINS of JENNA.

It was the summer of 1990 when YOUNG GUNNS last played that same Roxy Theatre as special guests to TUFF. A year later YOUNG GUNNS signed a major label deal with Capitol Records and changed their name to WILDSIDE. The band went on to release "Under the Influence" (Capitol, 1992) and the follow-up self-titled effort (TNT Records, 1995) before disbanding shortly after.

WILDSIDE lay relatively dormant over the last 15-plus years with the exception of their third release, "The Wasted Years" (RLS Records),in 2004. The band reformed at that time and played a handful of shows only to go back into hibernation with the exception of some digital releases. "The Essential" was made available in 2008 and "The Essential - Volume 2" in 2009. These can be found through outlets like Amazon and iTunes.

The band will return with four of the original five members still intact. Lead singer Drew Hanna, guitarist Brent Woods, bassist Marc Simon and drummer Jimmy D will be playing some of their classic tracks like "Hang On Lucy", "Hair of the Dog", "How Many Lies" and "Clock Strikes 12".
