LOVEFISTâ„¢

LOVEFIST FORMED IN 1978 IN SCOTLAND AND RELEASED A DEMO TAPE THE FOLLOWING YEAR. WITH VERY LITTLE SUCCESS IN SCOTLAND, LOVEFIST THEN MOVED TO VICE CITY,FLORIDA TO FIND BIGGER SUCCESS. THE BAND QUICKLY GREW A LOCAL FOLLOWING IN THE VICE CITY AREA PLAYING CLUBS SUCH AS THE MALIBU, GREASY CHOPPER, THE MALAROSI, AND MANY MORE. 1981 SAW THE BAND GETTING A MAJOR RECORD DEAL BY VICE MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT, AND BEGAN WORKING ON THEIR FIRST FULL LENGTH DEBUT ALBUM THAT WAS SELF TITLED. ONCE THE ALBUM WAS RELEASED IN 1982, THE BAND DID THREE TOURS OF THE U.S. THE LOVEFIST ALBUM CAME IN AT NUMBER 4 ON THE BILLBOARD 100 TOP ROCK ALBUMS. IN 1984, THE BAND RELEASED THEIR FOLLOWUP ENTITLED NUMBER OF THE BREASTS WHICH CAME IN AT NUMBER 1 ON THE BILLBOARD TOP 100 ROCK ALBUMS. THE BAND RELEASED THEIR FIRST VIDEO FOR THE SONG "IN BETWEEN" FROM THE NUMBER OF THE BREASTS ALBUM. THE BAND DID A WORLD TOUR SELLING OUT ARENAS AND STADIUMS WORLDWIDE, AS WELL AS HEADLINING MAJOR FESTIVALS LIKE PEACE AND ROCK FESTIVAL, AND U.S. FESTIVAL. 1985, SAW THE BAND THROUGH HARD TIMES AS TIPPER GORE TRIED TO GET RID OF THE BAND. HER PLAN BACKFIRED, AND NUMBER OF THE BREASTS WENT ON TO SELL OVER 1 MILLION COPIES. IN 1986, LOVEFIST RELEASED THEIR GREATEST ALBUM TO DATE-FIST FURY. IT SOLD OVER 3 MILLION COPIES WORLDWIDE, AND THE VIDEO FOR "DANGEROUS MAN,DEAD FAMILY" HAD HEAVY ROTATION ON MTV. IT SPAWNED MAJOR HITS SUCH AS-FIST FURY,DANGEROUS BASTARD, CHIN STAINER, AND MORE. IN 1987, LEAD GUITARIST, PERCY SHAMROCK QUIT THE BAND AND WAS REPLACED BY SCOTT WALLACE WHO WOULD LATER GO ON TO PLAY IN WIKKED TEAZE. IN 1988, LOVEFIST RELEASED SATAN'S PILLOWS, BUT THE ALBUM DID NOT DO AS GOOD AS THEIR PREVIOUS. 1990, SAW THE BAND TRYING TO REGAIN THEIR POPULARITY AND GET SOME MORE HITS FLOWING, BUT IT NEVER HAPPENED, AS THE MUSIC INDUSTRY BEGAN TO FOCUS ON THE GRUNGE SCENE LEAVING LOVEFIST IN THE DUST. SEEING THIS, LOVEFIST PUT OUT ONE FINAL ALBUM IN 1995 CALLED FIST THIS!, AND CALLED IT QUITS IN 1997. SINCE THEN THE MEMBERS HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THEIR OWN PROJECTS WITH JEZZ GOING SOLO, WILLY OWNING A STRIP CLUB, DICK AND PERCY PLAYING IN A BAND CALLED SHAMELESS. ON JANUARY 4TH 2007, LOVEFIST REUNITED WITH ALL ORIGINAL MEMBERS AND RELEASED A NEW CD ENTITLED-CLEAR THE CUSTARD. THEY DID NUMEROUS TOURS THAT YEAR AND CARRY ON TODAY, AS THEIR POPULARITY IS NOW STARTING TO RESURGE ONCE AGAIN.Style type="text/css" source="http://www.strikefile.com/" author="Thomas Zwaagstra" table, tr, td{ background-color:transparent; }body{ background-image:url(http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/20 05/067/922232_20050309_screen009.jpg); background-position:top left; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-attachment:fixed; }body, div, p, strong, td, .text, .blacktext10, .blacktext12, a.searchlinkSmall, a.searchlinkSmall:link, a.searchlinkSmall:visited{ color:rgb(204,0,255); font-weight:bold; font-style:normal; text-decoration:none; text-transform:capitalize; font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif; } a I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4LOVEFIST has 34673 friends.
