Guns, Vince Neil (frontman for Motley Crue), and Kip Winger (frontman for Winger), to name a few. Opening for these legends is not just a testament to Sunset Strip's skill and authenticity but a nod of approval from the very architects of the iconic 1980's California Sunset Strip scene.
Amidst the effervescent energy of their shows, the band, has garnered accolades that mirror the glory days of California's famed Sunset Strip itself.
