Zodiac Mindwarp And The Love Reaction's story starts in
the year 1985: In a musical world of hairspray and spandex, two long-haired,
leather-clad rockers were introduced to each other by their "exotic
dancer" girlfriends. One, a graphic artist and poet, the other, a budding
philosopher. They immediately dropped everything, joined forces and created the
dirtiest, wildest band of all time. One year later, they signed to Polygram,
released, the ground breaking "High Priest of Love" EP, and subsequently
the "Tattooed Beat Messiah" album, containing the classic single
"Prime Mover".
2 - Hymn Of The Speed Kings
3 - High Heel Heaven
4 - Dangerous
5 - Kick Start Me For Love
6 - Wild Child (Second Attempt)
Overnight, they accidentally changed the look of all the rock bands of the time
from the obligatory spandex, eye liner and tinsel, to rough biker jackets,
engineer boots and goatees. Mötley Crüe declared them to be their favourite
band and immediately restyled themselves for the "Girls, Girls,
Girls" record.
Zodiac Mindwarp And The Love Reaction grew in notoriety, touring the world and America, co-headlining arenas and theatres with Guns N' Roses and found themselves at home playing festivals and baseball stadiums with Iron Maiden. After attending a Zodiac Mindwarp And The Love Reaction concert at the Hammersmith Odeon and giving it his seal of approval, Alice Cooper took to the studio and recorded the Zodiac Mindwarp tune "Feed My Frankenstein", which was later performed in the film "Wayne's World"... The critical acclaim of Zodiac Mindwarp And The Love Reaction did, however, cause some rare misfortune, when they lost their young naive bass player to the lures of The Cult. Zodiac Mindwarp covered Born to be Wild because he thought they could do a better job than The Cult (on Electric). The jury’s still out on that claim but the band soldiered on regardless. Sometime later, in Paris France, Slam Thunderhide, their drummer, decided to put down his sticks to become a go-go dancer in Vancouver. Outstanding!
