Still waiting for the Smash L.A. reunion. I see so many shitty bands getting back together, but none of the really important ones. Smash L.A. was a west coast Canadian band fronted by Johnny Harley, who was my favorite vocalist in the late 80′s. The man had it all…that hair, that face, that voice, the over flowing charisma….oh my. Johnny was like the David Lee Roth of Canada, and should have been a house hold name, but alas it was not to be.

The first time I heard of Smash L.A. was back around 1989, when the Pepsi Power Hour on Muchmusic played their video for “Break’n All The Rules”. After watching the video, I hauled my ass to Frankie & Johnny’s in Calgary one night to witness all the glam rock glory live. Smash L.A. was the west coast’s best kept secret next to Tommy Floyd, and Age Of Electric. Seeing this video again, brings back memories of the old Frankie & Johnny’s, Rock Cellar, and Club Soda days….fuck I’m aging my self right now, so I’ll just shut the fuck up. But yeah….Smash L.A. reunion. Hope it happens in my lifetime.
