A band I had been wanting to photograph for some time, the incomparable Richard Duguay (ex-Guns'N'Roses, bonafide Canadian popstar) and Fame Whore, last December 2nd at Maui Sugar Mill in Tarzana, Calif. Note The Dogs' beatmeister Tony Matteucci on drums, with the rest of of the band featuring Johnny Dzubak, Gary Martin, Eric Schrader, and Joe Bear. A great mix of edgy, original hardest rock, Canadian punk, covers and singalongs! Richard, with wife Paula Tiberius on back up vocals, surprised all with a poignant cover of the late Warren Zevon's ballad "Carmelita" with heartfelt warmth and implied regrets...
Opening act Crazy Squeeze's Johnny Wittmer and Dat Ngo, off camera Frankie Delmane and Shauny Clark. Fun, basic hard rock the way connoisseurs fondly remember same.
