Three
decades. Countless world tours. Millions of records sold.
L.A. Guns are legendary veterans of the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, California. Since their eponymous album in 1988, these Electric Gypsies have constantly been delivering high octane unapologetic rock-n-roll — releasing iconic hits, unforgettable music videos, and touring non-stop all over the world.
L.A. Guns got their start on Los Angeles' Sunset Strip. The band was formed in 1986 and signed with Polygram Records in 1987, recording their first album that summer.
This first album, titled "L.A. Guns", went on to sell 750,000 copies and earned the band its first gold album award. Tours with AC/DC, Iron Maiden and Def
Leppard followed. A compilation of the videos made from this first album also earned the band a gold video award.
L.A. Guns went into the studio to record their second album, "Cocked and Loaded", in the spring of 1989. It was a hit right away with the release of "Rip and Tear" as the first single and video. "Never Enough" and "The Ballad of Jayne" followed, pushing album sales over 1,000,000 and
earning the band its first platinum record award. The video compilation from this album earned the band its second gold video award.
A successful world tour followed.
The band's third album, "Hollywood Vampires", was recorded in the fall of 1990. With the release of "Kiss My Love Goodbye" as the first
single and video, and another successful world tour, the album went on to sell 700,000 copies and earned the band its third gold album award.
Now, you get a chance to see them in a small room in Annapolis--only at Union Jack's!
