Hurricane Alice (Hericane Alice) – Hurricane Alice (1986)

Originally formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota during 1984, the first formation of Hurricane Alice comprised vocalist / guitarist Leni DiMancari with Scott Werner of Ssister Max on bass and former Counter Attack man Rusty Miller on drums. Originally David Reece, then a member of Lillian X but later of Accept and Bangalore Choir, was asked to join but declined.
Early Hurricane Alice demos would include a cover of Golden Earring’s ‘Radar Love’. As Hurricane Alice a 1986 album had surfaced although only vocalist Bruce Naumann and Rusty James took the risk of relocating to Los Angeles.
Naumann and James hooked up with members of another act entitled Danger City to construct a new version of Hurricane Alice. These musicians included bassist Ian Mayo, a veteran of Counter Attack and Surgical Steel, plus guitarist Danny Gill. For a period the group operated as Danger City but then decided to capitalise on the tri-state following Nauman and James had fostered so switched to Hurricane Alice.
Hurricane Alice went on to ink a deal with Atlantic Records in 1989, but were forced to slightly alter their name to Hericane Alice just before the release of their one and only album, ‘Tear The House Down’ produced by Thom Panunzio at A&M Studios in Hollywood, in 1990 following objections from the Enigma signed outfit Hurricane. The spelling of the new branding was in fact suggested by Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks, whom the band shared management.
