History

Early history (1975–1983)

The roots of Angeles can be traced to 1975 when Dale Lytle and Dave Raudman started the band “Avante-Gard”, the band's name was changed to “English” in 1976, before finally settling with “Angeles” in mid-1977.[2] The initial line-up of Angeles was a five-piece: Dale Lytle on guitar, Dave Raudman on vocals, Terrell Hill on drums, Frank Galante on Bass, and Jen Nicia Alcivar on keyboard. On May 31st, 1978, Angeles recorded a setlist of seven songs intended for their first-album; this cassette was cosidered lost for more than 40 years until it was discovered in 2019, and then released on vinyl in 2020.[3] On October 4, 1980, Angeles headlined the Fall Rock Festival at Devonshire Downs; Ron Bushy, the original drummer of Iron Butterfly, joined the band onstage. [4] On August 1, 1981, Angeles and Mötley Crüe co-headlined two concerts at The Troubadour.

First three albums (1984-1991)

After signing to Mystic Records in 1984, they released their debut album We're no Angels; Hit Parader described the album as "a tight powerful collection of metal anthems" that "manages to elicit plenty of excitement on tracks such as 'Nasty Girls' and 'No Sugar Tonight'." The title of the album We're No Angels, was decided by Kevin DuBrow, vocalist of Quiet Riot[5] . In 1984, Angeles opened up for Bon Jovi at the Reseda Country Club. Their second album Give It Up was released on the infamous Azra Records in 1986.[6] In 1989, their third album Give It Up was released on Ace Records. The band broke up in 1991, after releasing three albums.

Reunion (1994-2015)

In 1994, Angeles reformed with new singer Bryan Potter, Rhythm Guitarist Pat Schea (Schee), Bass Guitarist Marty Nelson and Drummer Chuck Landon "Isquith". Using footage from a sold-out show at The Roxy, two music videos were released: "Party Til Ya Puke" and "Forgotten Souls"[7][8]. By 1996, Bryan Potter was replaced with lead vocalist Brian LeBoeuf, Bass duties went to AJ Zalampous (Dimitri Antoniades) and drum duties to former Angeles Drummer from earlier years John Merritt. They soon released their fourth album, No Limits, which was their first release in eight years.[9]

In January 2013, while playing a Make-A-Wish Foundation benefit concert, Angeles was joined onstage by Gary Richrath who was best known as the lead guitarist and a songwriter for the band REO Speedwagon from 1970 until 1989.[10][11] A 15th-anniversary edition of No Limits was released on 2013, with entirely new vocals, removed rhythm guitar tracks, and a different tracklist. On January 22, 2014, Denise Fallon Naccarato, the singer of Angeles, was killed in a motorcycle accident.[12] Less than two years later, Angeles' drummer of 25 years, John Merritt, was killed in an automobile accident as well.[13]

Vocalist Claire Diane (2015-2017)

In 2015, Clare Diane joined as vocalist; best known for her album Runaway (2003) [14] , as well as vocalist for Fem Zeppelin, an all-female Led Zeppelin tribute band. [15]

"Crazy" (2016) was released on Rock Avenue Records. The music video for "God Country and King" reached more than 1,000,000 views on Vevo. [16]

The August 2017 edition of TalentRaters Magazine had Angeles as the cover-story detailing the release of their album "Killers of the Game". A music video for the title-track was released [17]


Recent Events (2018-present)

On December 28, 2018, Rix Fox made his bass playing debut with the band at the Whisky A Go-Go; he parted with the band shortly after.[18] In early 2019, Angeles signed to Dark Star Records, where they have released two full albums. [19] Angeles opened for the band Angel for their record release Show of "Risen" on October 4th, 2019; also this was the record release show for Angeles' "Fire It Up" [20]. Angeles' set was reviewed in Music Connection's December 2019 Issue; described as a "wonderful, powerful blend of classic, bluesy rock& roll and power-metal" but the article did discuss how the band was never able to "take that next step".[21]
