I wanted to do Godzilla for sure, because we played it live a few times, and it sounded great. Those I thought were really cool together. There was definitely a push for Eddie Money and Body Count songs. Which ones did you specifically choose for this album? In true Hookers & Blow style, it’s all covers. Thankfully, technology nowadays enables you to do that.
So it was all different kinds of processes, three or four different studios. and then when the pandemic hit, we all had to definitely go virtual, because the studios were closing down. The vocals and keyboards were done in LA, guitars were done back and forth. It was done in chunks because we did some out here in Las Vegas at The Basement. This wasn’t done all at once, so was this sort of a casual project? It’s actually, art for the sake of being art, believe it or not. It was a lot of fun to make, we put a lot of time and a lot of our own money into it. But if you could cover records, you get a pass on it. We promised ourselves we’d never become an original band and put out records. And there’s been a lot of buzz about the band. It was the right time, because we finally found the right combination of people. It took a couple years, but we did it, we’re proud of it. They offered us a deal and complete creative control. Well, we decided in 2018 that after we did a tour with The Dead Daisies, and Dizzy Reed’s solo record through Golden Robot, we should give it a shot. So what makes this the right time for the album? We sat down with Alex to catch up on H&B, as well as where Quiet Riot stands, after losing its last original member, Frankie Banali, to cancer last year. This year, H&B released its first full album of covers, including Stones, Bowie, Zeppelin and Zombies remakes, among others. rock, he’s the founder of the city’s ultimate cover band – Hookers & Blow. Alex Grossi might be best known as the guitarist in heavy metal band Quiet Riot, a role he’s held since 2004, but for fans of L.A.
