Bio:

"WANTED...Wants You!" read the flyers posted up and down the strip on Sunset Blvd. And that's what WANTED got. Fans flocked in droves every time WANTED had a show. Why? Because with WANTED, the fan didn't get the same old stale, over-rehearsed show that some of their counterparts had become accustomed to. It was all about improvisation, living in the moment, and making the most out of each of those moments. WANTED never took anything for granted and lived life on the strip to the fullest...and then some!WANTED took their craft seriously. Their work ethic was second to none and they didn't tolerate any lack of dedication, whether it be within their own inner circle or the bands that they would regularly perform with. From the perfected pretty boy look straight down to the denim and leather rock n' roll garb to well-crafted music that rivaled any of their contemporaries, the band was focused on the prize as they saw all their friends in Poison, Warrant, and L.A. Guns score that coveted recording contract. And as we hear all to often, it (the being signed to a major label) was well within their grasp and then that damn lumberjack wearing Seattle-grunge shit came out of left-field and took over the hearts and minds of those who were to follow Generation X. The next "Big Thing" was taking shape and it surely didn't include those pretty boy, make-up wearing, big hair bands who actually gave a shit about giving the fans an exciting show to remember....let alone a show at all.WANTED started in 1988, when long-time friends Kenny James and Jeffrey Lane picked up and relocated from South Florida to the streets of L.A. Friends for nearly a decade, Kenny and Jeffrey found themselves clear across the country and smack dab in the middle of the glitz n' glam of Hollywood. In fact, they did it Hollywood to the core by grabbing up Motley Crue's legendary old apartment at Clark Street 205 where they kept the party rolling. Where Motley left off, WANTED picked up. SEX, DRUGS, ROCK n' ROLL, Girls, Girls, Girls, movie stars, a respectable woman or two and tons of freaking strippers!Within four months time, the two friends enlisted John E.K. to handle the bass duties. However, the first actual show would not come til many months later in March of 1989. The band was fighting their way through the growing pains of being a new band and writing new material, but something was still missing. Enter drummer Stevie Schaaf in the summer of 1989 and the band finally felt "Right". This is the WANTED that everyone came to know and love, and a band who seriously dedicated themselves 24/7 to consuming the music, the lifestyle, and a point in time that will never ever be replicated again.WANTED was a fun band. WANTED was a dedicated band. And while mostly light-hearted when it came to subject matter, the band did take an opportunity or two to touch on some serious subject matters like gangs, drugs, and other social issues as is evident in the song "Look At All The People".WANTED plays melodic, upbeat, hard rock n' roll!!! What else were you expecting? Drummer Stevie Schaaf maybe sums it up best by stating, "We perceive ourselves as WANTED. Nothing more, nothing less."In closing, lets heed the oft-uttered words of lead singer Kenny James, "Work hard, play hard, and Rock n' Roll."

Album:

Coming out of Indianapolis in 1989, Wanted attempted to hit the big time with a sound that is strongly reminiscent of Motley Crue.As I’ve mentioned in my review of the Dear Diary album, Eonian Records specialise in releasing demos by eighties hard rock acts who somehow slipped through the net of the record labels. Coming out of Indianapolis in 1989, Wanted attempted to hit the big time with a sound that is strongly reminiscent of Motley Crue around the time of ‘Girls, Girls, Girls’ (especially vocally), with hints of Roxy Blue and Cats In Boots thrown in.The first six tracks on the disc are culled from Wanted’s early demos and while the sound is, for obvious reasons, not as bright as we have come to expect from albums these days, the attitude of the songs (and in fact of the whole hard rockin’ kicks ass era that they represent) comes roaring out of the speakers. Songs like ‘Whiskey & Women’, ‘Too Hot To Handle’ and ‘Blue Jean Baby’ absolutely romp along with an urgency and sense of fun that many of the bands that actually were getting signed during the late eighties would have pawned their Grandmothers for. While many bands were willing to pout and pose their way to stardom, Wanted actually had the chops and songs to back up that swagger.A meeting with an influential local band manager from the time led to Wanted supporting Bad English and Enuff Z Nuff on tour, before they began a series of showcase gigs for labels. Geffen expressed an interest in the band and Wanted headed off to LA to begin work on some new songs to hopefully impress the label further. Unfortunately a fall out between Geffen and the band’s management snuffed out any chance Wanted had of getting signed, however the two tracks recorded during this time are also included here. ‘Lost In Me Forever’ is a ballad, and in truth is the only song from either demo that struggles to have enough character to stand out from the plethora of bands attempting to break into this scene back then. ‘Be Still My Heart’ however is a real balls out rocker that really should have seen Wanted on their way to the big time before politics got in the way.As if eight tracks of top quality rollicking party metal wasn’t enough, the disc is rounded out with six live tracks that are different from those featured in the demos. Again the sound is more that of a top quality bootleg, rather than an over-polished live album, however that only adds to the charm of what comes across as a phenomenal show. The set was recorded at The Ritz Music Hall in Indianapolis in 1990 and with an impressive intro tape and what sounds like boundless energy both on and off stage, comes across like a real event and an even stronger illustration of why Wanted created such a buzz. Thanks to those nice people at Eonian, it is one we can all now share in.
