KING KOBRA was formed in 1983 when legendary drummer Carmine Appice (Vanilla Fudge, Rod Stewart) approached Mark Free to add his vocals to some tracks he had previously written and recorded with guitarist Earl Slick (John Lennon, David Bowie). The line-up of Free, Phillips, Johnny Rod, Mick Sweda and Appice would go on to record two solid albums for Capitol Records - "Ready To Strike" and "Thrill Of A Lifetime". For the next three years, KING KOBRA toured the world over, barnstorming North and South America - as well as parts of Europe and Japan - supporting such formidable headliners as KISS, IRON MAIDEN and QUEENSRYCHE. In 1986, Johnny Rod accepted an invitation to join W.A.S.P. and was replaced by Lonnie Vincent. The Mark Free replacement Marq Torien, Sweda and Vincent went on to form BULLETBOYS for their own major label debut. Undeterred, Appice and Phillips pressed forward and initiated vocalist Johnny Edwards (who would later migrate to FOREIGNER), bassist Larry Hart and guitarist Jeff Northrup - core members of a group called Northrup. Combining their ideas and talents, they recorded "King Kobra III". Appice received a call from John Sykes and Tony Franklin to join BLUE MURDER and after five years, KING KOBRA was solemnly laid to rest. When you think of KING KOBRA, a vision of four bleached blondes out in front with one of rock's preeminent drummers in the driver's seat may come to mind. Beneath the hype and heady days of the 80's hard rock scene, however, there were true, inherent surges of brilliance from bands like KING KOBRA who boasted strong songs, precision chops and exuberant performances. Now in 2001, 4 out of 5 original members recorded a new cd for MTM MUSIC .... The new songs are hardrock at its best ... songs "Take It Off" and "Here Comes The Night" are with Mark Free on vocals!
