History:
Beau Nasty was a typical late 80's sleaze band, releasing a brand of good time
hard rock similar to that of Britny Fox. One album and a couple of tours was
all the band managed to accomplish before fading into obscurity.
Formed in Los Angeles, California by Mark Anthony Fritz (vocals),
George Bernhardt (guitar, ex-Lee Aaron and Hanover Fist), Brian
Young (guitar), Doug Baker (bass) and Mike Terrana (drums, ex-Zillion,
Hanover Fist and Kuni).
The legendary Beau Hill produced the debut album, but even
singles such as "Shake It" (also the name of early promos of the album) and their
version of "Love Potion #9" couldn't propel the record into the charts. The band hit
the road opening for Loverboy and Love/Hate, but by the tail end of 1989
they had become disillusioned with the music business and disbanded.
Terrana became a highly sought after drummer, and went on to work
with Tony MacAlpine, Yngwie Malmsteen, Axel Rudi Pell and Rage
among others. Young joined Talisman while Bernhardt played with
both Jeff Scott Soto and Gregg Bissonette.
