Last March 2010, a Classic Rock Band with Pedigree ‘SLAM’ stormed the Classic Rock Club Cheshunt...They wowed the crowd with their antics and great performance...The Band delivered Great Rock Covers as well as their own numbers and we are pleased to announce they will be back on stage at Cheshunt, to kick off the New year in style on Friday 28th Jan.
SLAM are a Hard Rock/Blues outfit based primarily in East London, comprising four highly Experienced Musicians with a history spanning the past 20 plus years.
Vocalist Freddie Ball has been in a number of bands including CHEAP THRILLS, TUSH and DUMB BLONDES which he formed with PHIL COLLEN, (DEF LEPPARD). With SAPPHIRE, Fred supported the legendary ALICE COOPER on his 1981 UK Tour, followed by gigs across Europe. Fred then went on to form XFX during which time he can also be heard providing backing vocals on the 1987 DEF LEPPARD album HYSTERIA.
Guitarist John Wiggins has played in TOKYO BLADE with whom he recorded the albums “TOKYO BLADE”, “NIGHT OF THE BLADE” and “BLACK HEARTS”. He has also been in PAUL DI’ANNO’S BATTLEZONE and toured the United States promoting their first album titled “FIGHTING BACK”. The release of BATTLEZONE’s second album “CHILDREN OF MADNESS” led to more European dates this time with ANTHRAX and TESTAMENT. BATTLEZONE also shot a video in the US for a single from the 2nd album called “I DON’T WANNA KNOW” which received extensive airplay on MTV (and can still be viewed on YouTube)
Bassist Dave Horne formed fusion band ANON with American guitarist MARK WINGFIELD and drummer STEVEN LAW followed by CZAR - opening for WRATHCHILD on part of their STACK HEELED STRUT TOUR.
Drummer Charlie Towler formerly played in DEEP MACHINE with John and was a key component of XFX, providing flashes of genuine “percussion brilliance” across the backline!
Supporting SLAM will be The ‘Jonnie Rice Band’...Jonnie Rice is the Gifted Guitarist and Vocalist behind Power Trio ‘Hot Maegus’, who played The CRC last year..His style is very Hendrix mixed with Psychedelic Blues/Rock you can expect an evening of Fuzz drenched, soaring guitar driven, space Rock...Be sure not to miss this powerful Double Bill !
