History:
Salty Dog was a sleaze metal band that infused a Led Zeppelin style
vocal delivery to their bluesy brand of rock'n'roll. Their one and only album was
filled with guilty pleasures that should have made them stars, but sadly didn't.
Formed in Los Angeles by Jimmi Bleacher (vocals), Scott Lane
(guitar), Michael Hannon (bass) and Khurt Maier (drums). Lane left
the band in 1987 and was replaced by Pete Reveen. They recorded their only album
in Europe, but would never get the chance to tour there. The band toured relentlessly,
and videos for "Come Along" and "Lonesome Fool" got limited airplay, but album sales
remained sluggish. In 1991 the band sacked Bleacher and promised a return, but
it never happened.
Hannon went on to join rockers Bogus Toms and Dangerous
Toys, but would eventually form a band similar in style to Salty Dog called
American Dog. Maier resurfaced in Mudpie while Reveen
is in a group called Tweed.
