(Gibson) Florida hard rock band Saigon Kick have reunited in their original line-up, and tour dates will be announced shortly.The reunion includes Matt Kramer, Phil Varone (ex-Skid Row), Jason Bieler, Tom Defile and Chris McLernon. The band's high point was 1992's The Lizard, which went gold with more than 500,000 copies sold. Their biggest single was "Love Is On The Way" from the same album: it peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100.
But like a lot of bands of the era, they got unfairly lumped in with the hair metal stuff that came before them, and while they struggled on against grunge amidst a number of line-up changes, the last Saigon Kick tour took place in 2000. more on this story
