Along with Mallory Young, Riff Williams and Philomena Rudd they’v played in American and European venues opening for KISS, Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, Ted Nugent, Girlschool, Joan Jett, Marilyn Manson, Y&T, Pat Benatar or the first AC/DC’s singer Dave Evans.
The band denies the label “cover band”, and they profess to be a “tribute band” as their tribute is not only musically but physically.

Mallory Young – Guitar
Bonny Scott – Vocals
Riff Williams – Bass
Philomena Rudd – Drums
