BIOGRAPHY
With black and bleached hair, scarves, mascara and a full on teenage
rock n' roll rage Nasty Idols started up 1987 by vocalist Andy Pierce
and bassist Dick Qwarfort. They played their first gig at a local festival.
Inspiration came from early Mötley Crüe, Kiss, Sweet and Alice Cooper.
After the release of the self financed single Don't Walk From Love / Easy
Come Easy Go they signed to the independent label HSM/ CBS Records. 1989
Nasty Idols released their first album Gigolos On Parole, followed by
more shows and a growing hungry-for-more audience.
New lineup changes was made when Peter Espinoza entered the band to record
the songs Alive N Kickin´ and B.I.T.C.H, soon followed by their second
album Cruel Intention 1991.
The videos for Cool Way Of Living, Can´t Get Ya´Off My Mind and Trashed
N Dirty all made their way to MTV´s Headbangers Ball and the album was
released in both Germany and Japan.
In October 1993 Nasty Idols released their third album, Vicious. Two new
videos Heads Down (In Tinseltown) and Ain't Got Nothin' followed, the
last a more darker video than the previous ones. When the Seattle Grunge
era stormed the earth by 94, life were not easy for any good old rock
n´roll band. Espinoza left the band to for other projects.
A fourth album, The Fourth Reich (later changed to Heroes For Sale) was
planned, but the label went bankruppt before it was released and Nasty
Idols splitted in 1995. The years went by and the members did their best
to survive in a more degrading music industry. Most notable were Peter
Espinozas band called Majestic, that had success in Japan and Andy Pierce
band Machinegun Kelly and later United Enemies.
By 2002 American label Perris Records re-released all the Nasty Idols
albums including a
"Best Of" and the 1995 Heroes For Sale album. After a succesfull re-union
gig at the Sweden Rock Festival 2006 the band followed up with "The Rejects
On The Road" Tour.
Throughout 2006 they played in Sweden and in 2007 they were still playing
gigs and toured in Italy and U.K In 2008 they started record their fifth
album. The 12 -track album "Boys Town"
was released in March 2009.
