Bio:

Saigon Kick is an American rock band from Miami, Florida, that formed in 1988.Saigon Kick was formed by lead vocalist Matt Kramer and guitarist Jason Bieler along with bassist Tom Defile and drummer Phil Varone. They gained a following on the local club scene and generated enough of a buzz to be signed to Third Stone records in 1990 and release their first album in 1991. They toured at length but the album only made a marginal national showing.They went immediately back into the studio to record their second album, The Lizard which was released in 1992. The album spawned the band's biggest hit single, "Love Is on the Way", which garnered initial airplay on South Florida's WSHE. Just before touring for the album commenced, bassist Tom DeFile was fired. He was replaced by ex-Cold Sweat bassist Chris McLernon. They toured from summer 1992 to spring 1993, enjoying gold status sales for The Lizard.Looking to continue their momentum, the band quickly returned to Sweden to record their third album Water in 1993. During recording, Matt Kramer became disgruntled with the direction that the band was heading both musically and stylistically. Kramer also argued that there were financial disputes within the band and tensions reached a boiling point. He officially left the band mid-session and returned to Florida. With Kramer gone, Bieler decided to take over all of the vocal duties in addition to playing guitar on the album. Finishing touches were added to the album at sessions in Tampa, Florida. Guitarist Pete Dembrowski was hired in time for the band's fall 1993 tour to support the new album. Water sold significantly less than the previous album, and Atlantic decided to drop the band in 1994.The band signed to the CMC International label in 1995, and the lineup of Bieler, McLernon, Varone, and Dembrowski released their fourth album Devil in the Details that same year. Saigon Kick then toured to large success globally, particularly in South East Asia, but they never managed to build on the success of The Lizard in the USA.In July 1997, the band attempted a reunion with Matt Kramer on lead vocals. Phil Varone had left the band and was replaced by drummer Ricky Sanders. A new song was recorded with this line-up called "Dizzy's Vine" which was released on Moments from the Fringe, a compilation album of demos and rare tracks. The reunion was quite short lived however, and Bieler left after two live shows in their home state of Florida, effectively ending the band.Bieler, Dembrowski, and Sanders would record the final Saigon Kick album, Bastards for release in the Far East in 1999. The three then decided to retire the Saigon Kick name and reorganize as Super TransAtlantic.In 2000, original members Kramer, Varone, and DeFile resurrected the Saigon Kick name for a short tour. Jason Bieler, being involved with Super TransAtlantic and wanting no part of a reunion, was replaced by DeFile's former Left For Dead band mate Jeff Blando on guitar. After the tour, the members scattered and Saigon Kick were considered finished.Bieler, Dembrowski, and Sanders, along with bassist Pat Badger of Extreme, formed Super TransAtlantic and released the band's only album Shuttlecock in 2000. They also appear on the soundtrack to the film American Pie with the song "Super Down".Matt Kramer released his debut solo album titled War & Peas on September 11, 2002 through Lascivious Records. He also published his debut book of poetry, An American Profit, on October 31, 2007 through Lascivious Books. Kramer has 3 additional books finished and slated for release in the future.Phil Varone joined Skid Row bassist Rachel Bolans side project Prunella Scales in 1997 and recorded their album Dressing Up The Idiot. He then joined Skid Row in 2000 and can be heard on the band's album Thickskin. Varone left Skid Row in 2003, citing his ongoing battle with cocaine addiction and his need to turn his life around. Afterwards, he began promoting his movie Waking up Dead in which a film crew chronicled several years of his life as a rock star, and the behind the scenes ups and downs that come with it. His focus is no longer primarily music, and up until the summer of 2010, he was booking and hosting stand-up comedy shows in Los Angeles. In the Fall of 2010, Varone moved to Las Vegas and directs a video series for Vivid Entertainment. He also has a signature adult toy line released by California Exotics Novelties.Chris McLernon and Ricky Sanders teamed up to form Two Heads Music, working in television, film and advertising music production.Jason Bieler and his brother Aaron now own a recording studio and record label in South Florida called Bieler Bros. Records.Ricky Sanders is currently the touring drummer for former Bad Company lead singer Brian Howe.Beginning in 2011, Jason Bieler began a new studio-only project named Owl Stretching. It is an ongoing project featuring former Saigon Kick members Rick Sanders and Chris McLernon among others. Several songs are available for download on the band's official website and iTunes.On 21 September 2012, via the official Saigon Kick page on Facebook, the following message was posted: "Saigon Kick will be reuniting with all of the original members Matt Kramer, Phil Varone, Jason Bieler, Tom Defile and Chris McLernon. Dates to be announced shortly." The band has discussed the possibility of new material.On 25 February 2013, via the official Saigon Kick page on Facebook, they announced that Tom Defile was no longer involved with the reunion."After the official Saigon Kick reunion announcement and rehearsals, we regret to announce that Tom Defile will not be continuing with the band. Tom and Saigon Kick amicably decided this is best for both parties and we wish him nothing but success in his future endeavors."-Tom Defile.A string of concerts were played in March / April 2013 in Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, St. Petersburg, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York City.An additional pair of shows were announced for December 2014 - in Las Vegas and St. Petersburg. These shows are significant in the band's history as they saw a return the return of original bassist, Tom Defile. The Las Vegas concert was the first performance by all four of Saigon Kick's original lineup in 22 years.

Album:

First off, if you’re going to write off Saigon Kick because of their uber cheesy ballad “Love Is On The Way”, stick around. You just may learn something. Anyways, Saigon Kick was a band that pretty much defied any kind of label. Were they metal? Were they alternative? Were they alternative metal? Either way, Saigon Kick managed to put out one of my all time favorite albums “The Lizard” and it was unlike anything I had been listening to. Much like bands like Animal Bag and Collision, Saigon Kick was taking elements of heavy metal music, 60’s Beatles like harmonies and modern (at the time) alternative hard rock and creating a hybrid of music that was all their own.“The Lizard” was the band’s 2nd album and much like their debut, what captured me was the songwriting and the over all sound of the album. The album is very thick sounding and has much better vibe than the thin, tinny sound of it’s predecessor. Lead Singer Matt Kramer has such an amazing voice that at times sounds like a cross between Jim Morrison and Perry Farrell. The harmonies that Kramer and guitarist Jason Bieler are absolutely amazing and it really creates a great dynamic. The songs on “The Lizard” cover a lot of ground. Songs like “Hostile Youth”, “Freedom” and “Body Bags” cover the melodic hard rock side of things while “Peppermint Tribe” and “My Dog” are pretty much acid inspired psychedelic metal. As much as I hate the ballad “Love Is On The Way”, the album’s other ballad “All I Want” is a bit on the cheesy side but it’s a beautiful song and I totally appreciate it more now than back then. The album closes out with a novelty song “Chanel” which showed the band’s since of humor and it’s actually a really fun song to listen to.“The Lizard” is an album that unfortunately committed suicide with “Love Is On The Way.” If that song hadn’t been on the album, the band would never have had a hit song but at the same time, if it wasn’t on there maybe more metal fans would be open to giving this amazing album a listen. Song for song “The Lizard” is a really awesome collection of melodically beautiful songs with some stellar playing and arranging. The album sounds really well thought out and has a flow that makes it very easy to listen to. Before writing this one off give this one a listen. You just may find that this band can surprise the hell out of you.
