Or Bust (not Tokyo?), which was odd as another Ninja was doing the rounds in Los Angeles. This was followed by a demo called S.W.A.K. in 1988. A.D. Marcell was on bass and John Capo was on drums.
Stanton became a tour manager and appropriately would tour with Loudness, as well as Twisted Sister and others. Twisted Sister’s manager had been instrumental in obtaining Loudness a US contract.
