Indianapolis, Indiana - Eonian Records proudly brings you for the first time on CD and all digital platforms, the long-awaited ‘There Goes the Neighborhood’ from Hollywood rockers HOOLIGAN STEW!
Bobby “Brooklyn” Michaels, Perry “Perris” Martin, Matt “America” James, and Vinnie “Vegas” St. Paul came together to form HOOLIGAN STEW during a magical time when something big was happening on The Sunset Strip with colorful bands such as W.A.S.P., Motley Crue, Ratt, Poison, and Warrant, all with equally colorful personalities and saying things with their music that reflected the larger than life times that were happening there. Welcome to The Sunset Strip of the 1980s and early ‘90s!
HOOLIGAN STEW did what every other Strip band did then, passed out flyers, ran full-page show ads in local rags, and even made the cover of Rock City News! In their time together, the band made three separate demo recordings, and like most local bands, money was tight, so they would book 8-hour sessions in the middle of the night at any studio they could. With such limited time, they had to know their parts, as one or two takes were all the time they had. Producing the music themselves, the resulting demos were mostly given to their fans, handing out hundreds and hundreds over the years. They worked with Bernie Becker in one of their sessions. In his time, Becker was one of the country’s preeminent recording engineers working with everyone from Neil Diamond to Tenacious D.
For fans of Poison, Pretty Boy Floyd, Faster Pussycat.
HOOLIGAN STEW is: Matt America on Vocals, Bobby Brooklyn on Guitar, Vinnie Vegas on Bass, and Perris on Drums
