Early 90’s Sunset Strip Rockers DEATH VALLEY JUPITER: Demon Doll official CD is now available


Demon Doll Records & founding member Danny Knutson have teamed up to bring you an electric set of 18 highly charged rockers that burned a whole through the Sunset Strip from the late eighties to the early nineties and are now available on the CD entitled ‘Give Me Something Sweet’. The band were a force to be reckoned with and were a staple @ the world famous Cathouse in Hollywood – opening for such bands as Faster Pussycat, Stone Temple Pilots & White Zombie as well as touring with Bang Tango for Riki Rachtman’s ‘Cathouse Wild West Tour’ throughout 1993.

Cranking out one radio anthem after another, one would be pressed to think Cheap Trick would have enjoyed having these guys pen a song or two for them! But in all actuality it was Vince Neil who took a liking to the band first and bankrolled one of the bands first recording sessions in order to secure them management and a record deal. Vince also hit the studio with the band to sing backup vocals on a track!

The booklet contains a brief but full history of the band written by Danny himself that takes us through each time period and the different band members that were apart of Death Valley Jupiter including the addition of our good friend and epic guitar player Dave Zink from Blackboard Jungle (who plays lead guitar on a majority of the tracks on the disc).

Remembering back to the days, the band had a great buzz and were local favorites that worked their tail to the bone to deliver such great music. We feel we have captured that energy and ambiance throughout the entire record. Take another journey back to the Sunset Strip and grab your copy of DEATH VALLEY JUPITER ‘Give Me Something Sweet’ today! This album is silver pressed, officially licensed from the band and exclusively available @ DemonDollRecords.com. Shipping worldwide!
