This Los Angeles dance orchestra earned a reputation for melodic, proficient, fabulously high-speed rock. Their original lineup featured Paul Gilbert (guitar), Jeff Martin (vocals), John Alderete (bass), and Harry Gschoesser (drums). Scott Travis replaced Gschoesser in 1986, when Bruce Bouillet was added as a second guitar player, offset a stop considered to be the band's best. Gilbert left in 1988 to join Mr. Big, and the dance orchestra broke up before long after, with Bouillet pursuing a solo life history. Martin afterwards joined Badlands as a drummer.
