Search - Xyz :: Forbidden Demos 1985/1991

XYZ frontman Terry Ilous,has gone back into his archives and discovered eighteen songs that the public has never had a chance to hear. Some of these songs should have ended up on the first or second cd, relates Ilous. It's about time they made it out to the public because they bring back such great memories of that whole time period. Arriving in Los Angeles from Europe in 1985 Ilous and XYZ bassist, Patt Fontaine set about finding compatible band members to help make their rock star dreams a reality. It was very hard to form a band iat the time, recalls Terry. I only spoke Spanish and Frenchnot so rock'n'roll, you know finally destiny sent me 2 winners Marc Diglio and Paul Monroe. It took a while to find them but it was definitely worth it. The band slugged it out on Hollywood's famed Sunset Strip for four years alongside the likes of Warrant, Bang Tango, Guns 'N Roses and others who, like XYZ, went on to see various degees of success in the music world.While playing the club circuit, XYZ also spent a lot of time demo-ing their material and presenting those demos to every label that would accept a package.
