The original platinum-selling BULLETBOYS<\/strong> lineup, featuring Marq Torien, Mick Sweda, Lonnie Vencent and Jimmy D\u2019Anda, is returning in 2020! \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hard rockers will kick off the reunion with a hometown gig on December 30 at their old haunt, the Whisky a Go Go in West Hollywood. Aside from one show in 2011, this original lineup has not performed together since 1993. \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would never have guessed this reunion would have come about, but the world seems to have its own plan filled with peace, love and kindness,\u201d<\/em> says guitarist Mick Sweda. \u201cAnd lots of ass kicking!\u201d<\/em> \u00a0 Add vocalist Marq Torien, \u201cI am completely ecstatic about this rad magical new beginning for us.\u00a0It\u2019s on!\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BULLETBOYS<\/strong> formed in 1988 at the very peak of the Los Angeles glam metal movement. As a collection of talented musicians, BULLETBOYS<\/strong> were able to quickly capture the attention of music fans around the world. Unlike other\u00a0rockers of the day, the BULLETBOYS<\/strong> possessed more hard rock-blues fusion than pure hair metal. Thanks to comparisons to the likes of Aerosmith<\/strong> and Van Halen<\/strong>, talent scouts came running and the band quickly received their first major label contract. \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BULLETBOYS<\/strong>\u2019 self-titled debut was released in 1988 via Warner Bros. and peaked at number 34 on the Billboard<\/em> 200. The album spawned two hit singles, a cover of the O\u2019Jays<\/strong> classic \u201cFor the Love of Money\u201d and \u201cSmooth Up in Ya,\u201d both of which charted on the Mainstream Rock Chart and saw regular airplay on MTV. BULLETBOYS <\/strong>went on to release two more albums, 1991\u2019s Freakshow<\/em> and 1993\u2019s Za-Za<\/em>, before splitting up. \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reunited BULLETBOYS <\/strong>is booked by noted agency ARM Entertainment. More than 50 shows around the U.S. are currently in the works in the U.S. and around the world. BULLETBOYS <\/strong>also promises to deliver new music in the coming year. \u00a0 \u201cAll\u2019s well and ends well,\u201d<\/em> bassist Lonnie Vencent\u00a0says. \u201c<\/em>BULLETBOYS<\/em><\/strong> 2020!\u00a0Pigs are flying!\u201d<\/em> \u00a0 Says drummer Jimmy D’Anda, \u201cDoes anybody remember laughter!?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
