Gynger Lynn formed in 1989 when bassist Jim Stuppy paid a visit to Dean Pressley, the lead singer and guitarist for Chicago-based band Cheri Lane. Jim and Dean spent the entire afternoon talking about collaborating. Over the course of the same day, Jim would eventually introduce Dean to Will Hair, who in turn called drummer Frank Paul that same evening. The four musicians spent the next two weeks writing and playing in Frank’s basement.

Fantastic album and Bobby Vanden is a VERY underrated guitar player. Killer guitarist. I preferred the Hitlist album to this one, but both are winnerz.

Gypsy Blue formed in 1989 in Alexandria and “Creative Tension” is their one and only effort released by the band in limited copies. Although it is very rare to be found nowdays, musically the band don’t have a clear sound as they blend elements of hair metal, classic rock, funky and prog. Indeed there’re some good guitar solos as the rocked up re-make of the Garth Brooks smash hit “Friends in Low Places”.

Greenfield, Indiana Glam Rockers GYPSY HARBOR self financed the 1998 album ‘No Such Thing’, a girl-crazy, party metal at its finest. Gotta love any band that writes lyrics like “I won’t beat around your bush” and “there’s no such thing as too much sex”. Vocalist sounds like a cross between Bret Michaels of Poison and the dude from Roxx Gang.
