Los Angeles Hard Rock act JAGWIRE was formed, with the addition of former ROUGH CUTT and RATT bassist Joey Cristofanilli, following a mass exodus from ex-STEELER and W.A.S.P. bassist Rik Fox's outfit SIN. In his previous acts Cristofanelli went under the shortened handle of Joey Cristo. Howard Drossin joined Los Angeles outfit FLIES ON FIRE and recorded an album for Atco in 1989. Vince Gilbert later recorded with former LONDON frontman Nadir D'Priest in D'PRIEST. The band issued an album through Noise in 1990.
