As far as I'm concerned, SIN don't get nearly the respect they deserve. Among all the terrible Hollywood bands who couldn't play, SIN were our version of Angel. I hear you screaming "What about White Sister?", to which I reply...they were Giuffria, not Angel. Big Difference. Anyways, SIN released one single in 1983, this beautiful shaped picture disc which should be worth a ton considering the 80's rock crap which passes for "rare" on Ebay these days. But sadly no one cares. Even though SIN had Rik Fox of Steeler fame and looked cool as hell, no one cared then either. It doesn't matter, as one day this record will have its due. After SIN burned out I'm pretty sure they morphed into the horribly-named Jag Wire. And guess what? No one cared.
Tracks:
"On the Run"
"Captured in Time"

ReplyDeleteNice sentiments here...I have 'all' the recordings of SIN w/ Frank Starr (that I'm aware of), at least the 'Legal' ones. And many of the live shows too. I need to find a way to transfer it all (mostly cassettes and two reel-to-reels), to a digital format to preserve them. Problem is, once I find a manner to digitize it all, and once I choose to release it, it gets bootlegged immediately, and then I don't make dime one. So, what’s the sense?-- Rik Fox/ SIN Founder/bassist/Author of 'On the Run'
ReplyDeleteYeah Rik, its always about you making a dime, isn't it? What about all your talk about your "fans"? Why don't you do something unselfish for once? Because it seems like you spend a lot of time being dramatic and stirring up shit on the net, and it's NEVER your fault!
ReplyDeleteVery great page here...why did you stop...???Have you another great page like this one...please let me knoe i´m 80´s and 90´s crazy!!!!
ReplyDeleteMail ordered this from Dave Richards @ Azra back when - great stuff!
ReplyDeleteThe Jag Wire album (w/ Joey Cristofanelli, ex-Ratt, in place of Mr. Fox) is awesome, too. Howard Drossin (check out his movie soundtrack / video game music resume on Wiki! DAMN!) was a smoking guitar player, who morphed from Yngwie-esque with Sin to Black Crowes-y bluesiness with Flies On Fire (remember their Atco album?). Also, Vince Gilbert went on to play with The Cult and London/D'Priest (on 'Playa Del Rock').
BUT, whatever happened to Art Deresh? Sounds like the next best thing to Marc Stroace (Krokus, Tea, Eazy Money).
i met and dated Art when he was with Punky Peru's band AWOL... he later went to Switzerland to record an album as the new lead singer for Krokus, they sent him home a few weeks later and he was just not the same. that was like 27 years ago. One thing I can say though is that he had really pissed off a lot of women ... like anywhere he and I went together the bouncers or roadies would have to surround us while girls would be yelling obscenities ... very angry lol dont know what he did to them, he was always great to me. he would be in his mid 60's to early 70's. My wish is that he had a family & is a happy metal grandpa somewhere.
DeleteGreat stories, Tonya. I can't believe Art was actually in line to replace Storace in Krokus - the similarities are uncanny. Too bad it didn't work out - would've loved to hear him sing with them. Great singer regardless!
