Page "Mark St. John" Paragraph 6

St. John and Donato soon formed White Tiger.

They had written most of the material for the album by mid-1985 and set out to complete a lineup with which to record.

The band also included St. John's younger brother, Michael, on bass, but was completed with the addition of Brian James Fox on drums.

While the independent release did well on that level selling some 50, 000 copies, and the band gigged around California, St. John and his band White Tiger joined up with Garry Lane owner of Logic Productions who promoted many top bands in LA.

St. John and Lane became good friends meeting for a second time at Trojan Studios in Garden Grove, California.

That is where St. John and Lane came up with the idea to play the legendary club known as THE HOT SPOT located in Huntington Beach, California owned by Gennie Gromet who was the ex-wife of Dick Dale from the band Dick Dale and the Dale Tones.

The band didn't manage to break and split while working on demos for a second album in 1988.

St. John teamed up with Jeff Scott Soto in 1988 to make a demo.

St. John also did some session work performing lead guitar on " Livin ' for My Lord " on Ken Tamplin's 1990 album, Axe to Grind.

Ken is an inspirational Christian rocker more famed for his involvement in the band Shout.

Tamplin has also co-written material with Gene Simmons of Kiss.

St. John also worked with former Knight Rider star David Hasselhoff, even appearing in his video, " Is Everyone Happy ".
