Contraband! 

Talk about a blast from the past for real. From a random 80s Facebook group that I am not even a member of - I saw a post about Contraband. The very short lived supergroup featured Richard Black of Shark Island, Tracii Guns of L.A. Guns, Bobby Blotzer of RATT, Michael Schenker of McAuley Schenker Group and Share Pedersen of Vixen.


There was one self-titled album which basically flopped. Even still, there were some videos, a tour with RATT and then not much else. Michael Schenker said the band broke up because of internal fighting. Kind of sad because this band could have been so much better with stronger songs. The talent was certainly there.
