Kelv Hellrazer

Kelv Hellrazer - Glam PR I worked in Shades Records, London (1985 - 1990), that shop was the GREATEST. The demise of that shop was a catalyst in the demise of the whole 80's rock/glam genre.
Notable moments were Gene Simmons/Paul Stanley after hours visit, Pete Way stumbling in on a packed store and stumbling out again (more sordid stories to follow). This place was the hub of rock 'n' roll in the 80's and with the Marquee and Hipperdrome a stone's throw away it was like London's sunset strip.
I worked for Metal Forces Magazine (1982 - 1992), this got me my first trip to the States via Iowa Group Lynn Allen and more followed courtesy of Warrant and Pretty Boy Floyd. The magazine helped me to discover the likes of Poison (in 1984), White Lion, Faster Pussycat, Love/Hate, Ruby Slippers, Tigertailz and loads more!
Memorable moments were blanking Axl W Rose, Sebastian Bach trying to break into my house and hooking up with Kim Fowley. I stayed in Bret Michael's house and Rikki Rockett's, plus Taime Down's apartment (who at the time shared with Ricki Rachman). I have kept in touch with Poison (even named my first son after Bret Michaels) and still know the original guitarist Matt Smith.
I presented episodes of "Noisy Mothers" for ITV Television and got to introduce Backyard Babies and Joey C Jones videos to the UK. I have also worked for Kerrang!, Sounds and Burn and helped numerous bands get deals.
Currently working on getting Ruby Slippers CD released.
