Marchant, J.D., and Deacon all come from Atlantic Record recording Artist "Virgos Merlot"
There was a time back in the late 80's when rock-n-roll became "REAL" again.Guns N Roses had just released Appetite For Destruction, and the hairspray fog was beginning to lift. Axl and company had kick-started a resurgence of raw, dirty, attitude-drenched rock that hadn't been heard since the glory days of early Aerosmith (Long before they became the bloated fluff-spewing beast they are today). Bands like Circus Of Power, Motorcycle Boy and The Throbs reminded us that rockers were not supposed to be role models. Here it is 2004, and we've all seen what's become of the music industry. Don't even get me started! Thankfully, I found myself at the Mercury Lounge in New York City for what felt to me like a ride in a Harley Davidson time machine. Red Halo had arrived from Birmingham Alabama, hell-bent on taking a room full of industry blockheads and A&R guys, and blowing them away. And that's exactly what they did.Like pages from a rock history book come to life, Red Halo took the stage. Nothing but Les Paul’s and Flying V’s plugged into Marshall amplifiers. Four skinny white guys dressed black, with jet-black hair. I swear, it was as if the 90's had never happened. No grunge, no rap-rock, no nu-metal, just amphetamine-laced power chords and an impressive, swaggering frontman named Marchant. This being the Halo's first trip to the big apple, it was crucial for them to make an impression. Six solid songs later, the word was out. I haven't heard anything like this in ages! Red Halo had seduced a fickle New York audience often all too eager to chew up and spit out any mediocre crap thrown their way. Marchant and the boys promised they'd return to New York soon. When they do, you'd best mark your calendars. I foresee larger crowds and larger venues for Red Halo.
Say it with me people- Rock-n-Roll has come back from the dead!
