John Corabi has been writing, singing, and performing for over twenty years, and his recordings continually foreshadow where the industry is headed.
John first came to our attention
with a band called Angora. Unfortunately, the band soon fell apart after
winning several awards, including “Best New Clu
b
Act.” John quickly rebounded, and formed The Scream. The Scream album
took off, and featured three singles. “Man In The Moon”, “I Believe In
Me”, and the reflective ballad “Father, Mother, Son.” All of which
saw airplay on MTV. After several months of writing sessions John Corabi
joined Motley Crue. The self titled album went platinum in
the States, and enjoyed much bigger success elsewhere around the world. After 5
years in Motley, it would be time for Corabi to move on.
John partnered up with long time KISS guitarist, Bruce Kulick to form UNION and wrote songs like “Old Man Wise”, “Love I Don’t Need It Anymore”, and “October Morning Wind”, Union found itself winning the Metal Edge magazine reader’s poll award for best new band of 1998. One review even stated that “October Morning Wind” was the song that Led Zeppelin never got to release. The Union sound would have fit perfectly next to Nickelback or 3 Doors Down, but radio hadn’t yet discovered those bands. Again, John Corabi found himself ahead of the curve, too far ahead for much of the industry.
John Corabi has since kept busy playing with an all star cover band called the Lost Angels, featuring former ALICE COOPER guitarist Eric Dover, drummer Troy Patrick Farrell of White Lion, and Muddy Stardust (Gilby Clarke) on bass.
John, residing in Nashville, is also hard at work on a new project of his own, as well as writing songs for several other artists and will also be a part of the TRIPLE THREAT TOUR along with LA GUNS and FASTER PUSSYCAT hitting ROCK N AMERICA Festival as well as other rooms across the USA.

Dover
began playing guitar when he was 11 years old. He started playing around town
wherever he could. He shared the stage with Kim Boyce and was in the group The
Extras with drummer Scott Collier in the mid-1980s. The core of that band split
off to form the outfit Love Bang in 1991.They were signed to a development deal
by Ardent Studios in Memphis and recorded for them for the next two years. Love
Bang's album, The Rule of 72's, was just released March 26, 2009 and is

In 1993 he joined Jellyfish on tour after the release of “Spilt Milk”. The group disbanded in 1994 and Dover joined band mate Roger Manning in the group Doverman. Dover and Manning have cameos as part of Davy Jones' band in the 1995 The Brady Bunch Movie.
Before Doverman went into the studio, Dover auditioned as lead vocalist for the first solo album by Slash of Guns N' Roses. Landing the gig, he recorded vocals on Slash's Snakepit album It's Five O'Clock Somewhere before rejoining Manning in the what would now be called Imperial Drag.
After Imperial Drag broke up in 1997, Dover appeared on several albums as a session musician before joining Alice Cooper's band for the Brutal Planet tour in 2001. He played on 2001's Dragontown and is co-credited with Alice Cooper and fellow guitarist Ryan Roxie on most of the tracks of the 2003 album The Eyes of Alice Cooper. He left the band following the tour for The Eyes of Alice Cooper. Dover went on to frequently appear with other members of Cooper's band as Glamnation.
Currently, Dover fronts a group named Sextus and has adopted a moniker of the same name. The debut album Stranger Than Fiction was released by Sextus on March 18, 2008 on Dramapants Records.
