Sometimes, cosmic things happen. Two former bandmates, separated for years by life's journey, run into each other out of the blue. An old friendship is rekindled, memories are shared, and the longing to start playing again emerges. "Wouldn't it be great to just get a couple of other friends, learn some songs, and play some corner bar for the heck of it just to have some fun?" This is how it started.

Three other friends from days gone by were invited into the idea. The songs were all over the map. Whatever anyone wanted to play, they played. A couple of sessions in, something wasn't right. The passion for the songs was not there. What was missing?

A discussion was had. What was the music that we grew up with and made us want to be rockstars? The Hair Band Music! The live shows! The energy and excitement of the 80's big hair, big show, big fun era. The song list was rewritten, show ideas were thrown into the mix, and soon, a little bar-band idea became what has grown into a phenomenon in Detroit - the Premier Hair Band Tribute Show that is RockStar!
