Jari Tiura & the West Coast Gang
Following selected musicians joined their forces for a couple of gigs in the summer of 2012 under the tour name “A Tribute To 80’s Metal”. The mini tour was dedicated to 80’s metal but of course we had thrown in a couple of songs from the 70’s also. We had a rocking time with lots of fun. We hope the audience also did feel our passion for the music. Jari Tiura (Stargazery, ex. Michael Schenker Group) – vocals, Henric Blomqvist (Solid Faces) – guitars, Sven Wannäs (Solid Faces) – Hammond and keyboards, Marko Pukkila (Altaria) – bass, Calle Fahllund (Sturm und Drang) – drums.
