Drawing influences from 70s bands such as Humble Pie, Cheap Trick, Grand Funk Railroad, Free, early Aerosmith and Bon Scott-era AC/DC, Carousel Vertigo will perhaps be best known to UK audiences from their support slots on two Status Quo tours – the ‘Pictures Exposed’ trek in 2009-2010 and the ‘Quid Pro Quo’ jaunt in 2012.  Indeed, one of the tracks on the album, ’3rd Degree’ was co-written by Quo bassist John ‘Rhino’ Edwards.

This album began twenty years ago when I arrived on the west coast to seek a showbiz career. Instantly, I was catapulted into the rock n’ roll dimension as a lead singer for an ” in your face” original shock rock band playing at Whisky a Go Go and The Roxy.
