Retro Fun with Metalicious


Anyone that knows me, knows I'm a rock chick. I grew up in the 80's, so it was only natural, lol. While I am a fan of most music, rock n roll is my favorite...
So when a group of musician friends formed the band Metalicious, I just HAD to go.. and I've been going to their shows ever since. These guys not only play KILLER tunes, they dress the part, and act it too. It's so much fun!! My best friend Kelly and I always try to be front and center, well, kind of. She has a love affair with speakers, lol.. 

As we all grow older, families and responsibilities change, so the members of Metalicious are not able play as often as they used to. This particular gig was a "Thirty Year Reunion"... Kelly and I are hoping for at least one or two more reunion gigs this year.. Enjoy the photos from this show, and if you loved 80's hair rock, you might want to keep your eyes open for their next show..

Mr Spiro, doing a pre-show check in with Art, the master of sound...






A series of Sissi Holland, hamming it up for the camera..










And then there's Dane, getting in his licks..












































Wrangling rock stars is a job in itself...



I wonder what Sissi did here...




Rok Bottomz is hard core!






So hard core, he IS the smoke machine!
