Going to see Hurricane Alice in one week!

This will be a blast from the past. I know Bruce is still singing, but have no clue about the rest of the band. It would be cool if the original line-up showed!! From what I can tell, they are still going by Hericane Alice elsewhere, but, being from Minneapolis, they are being billed as "Hurricane" Alice (the original band name before Hurricane from L.A. tried to sue them). They were staples of the Twin Cities metal scene, along with Slave Raider, Gemini (Lance King), Touched, etc. Then, they did what everyone did - went to L.A. to make it "big". A little more info:

Hericane Alice was your typical hair-metal band that put the fun back
into hard rock. But like so many other bands that didn't get a major
label deal until the late 80s, they were largely ignored by the record
buying public. Hurricane Alice originally formed in Minnesota as a
three piece consisting of Leni Dimancari (guitar and vocals), Scott
Werner (bass) and Rusty Miller (drums). For over eight months the three
guys worked on material before beginning their search for a full time
vocalist. David Reece was asked to sing on the original demos but
refused when his current band Lillian X was about to hit the road.
After scouting for front-men the next choice was Bruce Naumann, whose
current band The Employers was somewhat on hiatus. However Naumann
wasn't quite ready to desert The Employers, so the three original
Hurricane Alice members hooked up with Jeff Meyers in Steele. But the
guys were unhappy with being a backup band and decided to resume their
search for a singer. Luckily Naumann decided he was interested in
fronting the group and they started gathering a loyal following and
even interest from Atlantic records, but inside tension led to
Dimancari leaving the band to work with some Y&T members in Rising
Tyger. In 1988 Hurricane Alice left for the bright lights of Los
Angeles. Werner soon left to join Black 'N Blue front man Jaime St.
James in Freight Train Jane and troubles with the law led to the
departure of Miller. Naumann, now the focus of the band, continued
forward with new members Danny Gill (guitar), Ian Mayo (bass) and
Jackie Ramos (drums). The band decided to change its name to Hericane
Alice due to an impeding lawsuit with L.A.'s Hurricane and released
their debut. Tear the House Down was a nice collection of hard rock,
but failed to make any commercial inroads and Hericane Alice
disintegrated. Miller contacted Reece (after his short stint with
Accept) and the two started Bangalore Choir. But once again Miller
would be out of the picture when Bangalore Choir, complete with Mayo
and Ramos started recording. Dimancari pursued a solo career and
Naumann and Werner formed a band called the Mighty Roostas. Mayo and
Ramos would also later work together with Doug Aldrich in Burning Rain.




Oh yeah, Vince Neil and LA Guns will be there too. Yippy!
