Dallas, Tx 1984: Brothers Chris and Laine Sheridan joined forces with long-time friend Joey C. Jones
and drummer Randy St. John set out to create one of the biggest, baddest and greatest rock bands ever--SWEET SAVAGE!
Over the next 5 years they toured the U.S., playing over 1200 shows in 25 states. Their self-titled EP stayed for 16 weeks at the #1 spot on the European charts, outranking bands like Poison, Cinderella and Bon Jovi. Over 30,000 copies were sold without the help from a record label.
At the time, Sweet Savage were all but guaranteed to be successful. They were one of the biggest local draws in L.A., plus they
were big enough to tour the U.S., a feat very few bands were able to do.
