Break out the Aqua Net and leather pants for a night down memory
lane back to the hard rockin’ ‘80s! San Jose’s Club Rodeo, on
September 23, 2012, will present several ‘80s metal acts, featuring
San Jose’s MAXX12. It will be a night of rockin’ music, long hair,
‘80s nostalgia and fun not to be missed!
MAXX12 is one of the San Jose area’s newest sensations. Composed
of three super talented guys from the ‘80s metal scene, and
featuring T. Michael Riddle, formerly with metal legends Valhalla,
MAXX12 promises excitement and fun. The band also features bass
virtuoso Jon Hampton and hard rockin’ drummer Ronnie Cascinai.
MAXX12’s mission is to rid the US of political trouble, through
music, and you can witness their stellar audio and video show in
person at Club Rodeo on the 23rd. MAXX12 is already getting quite a
cult following in Southern and Western American states; they are
not to be missed!
MAXX12 was co-founded by Riddle and his best friend, ‘70s guitar
legend Ronnie Montrose. Montrose was known as one of the premier
guitar players of the ‘60s and ‘70s, and he started his career as a
teenager playing for Van Morrison. He later went onto the wildly
popular Edgar Winter Group, and then formed his own band, Montrose,
also wildly popular in the ‘70s. Montrose was also famous for
discovering then unknown singer Sammy Hagar, who went on to be a
superstar in his own band and later with other megaband Van Halen.
Montrose went on to executive produce MAXX12, which is part of the
reason MAXX12 exudes musical excellence.
The show that night will also feature popular ‘80s metal rockers
Faster Pussycat, as well as Gundacker Project, which includes the
very bangin’ drummer Craig Martin, and the Johnny Lima Band. Lima’s
hits include “Another Lonely Day” and the CD “Living Out Loud.”
Lima was formerly lead singer of ‘80s band Cheshire Cat.
Club Rodeo is located at 610 Coleman Avenue in San Jose, CA.
