BIOGRAPHY

80’s hard rockers, Black ‘N Blue were formed in 1981 and released four

successful and critically acclaimed albums through Geffen Records

including their self-titled debut (1984),“Without Love” (1985), “Nasty

Nasty” (1986), and “In Heat” (1987), with the latter two albums pro-

duced by the legendary Gene Simmons of KISS. The band, which fea-

tured Jaime St. James (vocals), Tommy Thayer (lead guitar, and current-

ly performing with KISS as the replacement for Ace Frehley), Jef “Woop”

Warner (guitar), Patrick Young (bass), and Pete Holmes (drums), started

in Portland, OR as a group of friends that came together to make their

mark on 80’s hard rock. The band eventually relocated to Los Angeles

and was signed to Geffen Records.

Black ‘N Blue would go on to sell over a million albums throughout

their tenure in the 80’s. The band scored a hit single in “Hold On To 18”

(which was featured on the group’s first release), a track that is widely

known as a hard rock classic and still garners airplay on stations across

the country. Their 2nd single (off Without Love) Miss Mystery was a

great success for the band. In addition, the band toured relentlessly

with the likes of KISS, Aerosmith, Queensryche, Night Ranger, Yngwie

Malmsteen, among other platinum acts.

In early 2003, vocalist Jaime St. James reformed Black ‘N Blue. Joining

St. James were original members Warner, Holmes and Young along

with new guitarist Shawn Sonnenschien. The band began recording

a new album titled “Hell Yeah!” Recording of the album came to a halt

when Jaime St. James joined Warrant as their new lead vocalist in Feb-

ruary of 2004. Jaime toured the world with Warrant for four years.

In 2008, plans to get back into the studio and finish the “Hell Yeah!”

album were underway, as well as festival appearances and other tour-

ing. The new album (on Frontiers Records) is described as “classic” Black

‘N Blue as heard on the group’s original recordings and promises not to

disappoint.” In 2012 BNB performed on the massively successful Mon-

sters of Rock Cruise with Cinderella, Tesla, UFO, Kix, and many more…

they will be back on the cruise in 2013! 30 years of rock, 4 out of five

original members, and still kickin’ ass!
