952.0. "Freak Of Nature" by SUBURB::WAITEG (ANGER IS A GIFT) Wed Jun 09 1993 05:42

    FREAK OF NATURE
    
    I know nothing about these.  Thats why I've written this.  I heard them
    on MTV Headbangers Ball playing live at the Dynamo festival in Eindhoven,
    Holland.  
    
    They looked and sounded good though.  They sounded a bit like Pearl Jam
    only a bit heavier.  
    
    Does anyone know anything about these???  eg... History, Albums, Record
    releases, anything about these.
    
    
    Cheers

    The debut album is out and is very good.
    
    Its a cross between Nirvana, Alice in Chains, White Lion (!) and a bit
    of U2 mixed in for good measure.  Def. not your typical pose rock.
    
    Mike's vocals have got heavier and more angry, the band on a whole is
    miles better than any of White Lions efforts.
    
    For anybody in the UK they're playing Phoenix Plaza shortly.

952.3Very promisingFILTON::WHEELER_DThe RoosterThu Jun 10 1993 06:5718
    
    Yes, this is Mike Tramp's(Ex White Lion) new band
    
    The rest of the band consists of
    Guitarists- Kenny Korade and Dennis Chick
    Bass      - Jerry Best
    Drums     - Johmmy Haro
    
    I'm not sure if the debut album is released yet.
    
    The video shown on MTV is called 'Turn the other way' and is a great
    tune.
    
    They have recently played at Camden Underworld, London and are set to
    return later this month for a UK tour.

    I've read some pretty good reviews about these guys,
    there is a good concert review in this weeks Kerrang!
    
    I'm looking forward to hearing them myself, lets hope
    their better than White Lion.

    Dunno. 
    
    Vito really is an amazing guitarist but didn't really work with Mike's
    voice. Hope he gets involved with a new project... and SOON!!

    I like the music of White Lion but I never really like Mike's voice
    either. Anyway I still have all their tapes.
