Press Reviews Horizontal Action Rock Magazine says:"They blasted out a Saints/Stones assault, that 's really got an original rub to it.""The debut of Chicago's overly infectious The Black Beauties was indeed a great spectical for the Rocknrollers in attendance. Fronted by the street walkin' Jagger/Johansen-esk Anderson and the boys behind him bangin' out such an obscene rock'n roll racket, for their first outing, I couldn't believe it.""Real RocknRoll by guys who know how to dear down the sorority house"

Location Chicago, il - USA
