Rising like a Phoenix from the streets of Hollywood, the Los Lizzy band is comprised of industry veterans who began their careers admiring and emulating the great Thin Lizzy. The guitarists of Los Lizzy--Russell Koga and Armando Becerra, were originally inspired by the guitar team of Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson. Through the years they played with each other in bands well-known to the history of Los Angeles (The Bad Boys Of Blues, Sacred Fire, Barracudas, and many others). Recently they decided to bring the music that brought them together to the stage and reached out to the members of another popular Thin Lizzy tribute, Rude Awakening. Rude Awakening was an all original power metal band that dominated the L.A. metal scene for 20+ years from 1988-2009. In 2005, Rude Awakening became a Thin Lizzy tribute due to bassist Robert Calkin's connection to Philomena Lynott, the mother of Thin Lizzy frontman, Philip Lynott. Robert named his son Philip Parris Calkin, and Philomena was christened the baby's godmother along with Dennis Keeley her partner, who was christened godfather. Philomena asked Robert's band, Rude Awakening to come to Ireland to perform concerts in honor of her son Philip many times, which they did to great fanfare. Robert also held a concert in Los Angeles in 1996 entitled "A Celebration Of The Life Of Philip Lynott" that featured many rock stars and celebrities influenced by the Emerald Rocker (Billy Sheehan, John Sykes, John Norum, Rudy Sarzo, and Carmine Appice.
Rude Awakening released a CD entitled "A Tribute To Thin Lizzy" in 2005. Now, Robert Calkin (bass) and Johnny Medina (drums) of Rude Awakening have joined with seasoned veteran vocalist/actor Adam Gifford to form Los Lizzy. Adam was the frontman of some very well-known and popular Hollywood bands (Paradise, etc). He has also been in many television shows, commercials and movies. The band will be performing most of the songs from Live And Dangerous, along with some selected gems from Black Rose: A Rock Legend, Chinatown and Renegade.
