History:
An excellent 70's style hard rock band with ample amounts of swagger and bad attitude, songs about alcohol, sex and more alcohol were their trademark. However The Four Horsemen suffered more setbacks and tragedies then any band deserves.
  Formed in Hollywood, California by Frank C. Starr (vocals ex-Alien and Sin), Dave Lizmi (guitar), Haggis (guitar, former bassist of The Cult and Zodiac Mindwarp when he went by the name of Kid Chaos), Ben Pape (bass) and Ken 'Dimwit' Montgomery (drums). 1991's full-length debut was a hard rock masterpiece, but business problems and internal fighting killed any potential they had and Starr walked away.
  The first tragedy would occur when Dimwit passed away from a drug overdose on September 27, 1994 after the band had reformed. Starr and Lizmi decided to dedicate the album to their deceased friend and were joined by Pharoah (bass) and Chuck Biscuits (drums, of Danzig), but Randy Cooke soon replaced Biscuits. However, before mastering of the album was complete the band would be dealt another blow. In November of 1995 a drunk driver would hit Frank C. Starr while driving his motorcycle down Sunset Strip. He was sent flying, suffering massive head trauma and placed in a coma. While waiting for Starr's recovery, the rest of the band would tour for the album with Ron Young of Little Caesar on vocals, but no new music materialized.
  Unfortunately Starr would never come around, and finally passed away on June 18, 1999. A very sad conclusion to an extremely talented and promising band. Two albums and an EP of kick-ass rock'n'roll is the legacy left behind from one of the hard rock world's unsung heroes. Cooke has gone on to work with many of the biggest names in Canadian music.
