Phantom Blue was a hard rock / heavy metal in Hollywood, California, United States, which was formed in 1987, and was staffed only by women, following the line bands like Vixen and Girlschool. After a promising start, the constant lineup changes the band led to the separation in 2001.
Carrera
Initially recorded a demo that won a recording contract with Shrapnel Records, recording the self-titled album in 1989, making interest especially with the single "Why Call it Love". However, only up to 1993 would come into his second feature, Built to Perform, due to problems with the aforementioned label. Geffen Records eventually took over production of the disc.
then toured Europe in 1994 as promotion of the album. Unfortunately it began to present line-up changes followed and problems with the label, so Caught Live was not published until 1997. At the end of the decade, Gigi vocaliusta Hangach had retired, leaving the drummer Linda McDonald as the only founding member to remain with the group. Full Blown launched in 2000, which would be his last recording.
Sad death of Michelle Meldrum
Yesterday it issued a statement announcing the death of guitarist Michelle Meldrum (Meldrum, a former Phantom Blue), after being in coma in hospital St. Joseph in Burbank in Los Angeles, California (USA).
Michelle Meldrum was admitted on Sunday 18 May 21 staying until Wednesday afternoon in critical condition, and finally died later that day for a sebaceous cyst lodged in his brain. This will preclude the flow of oxygen to the brain and a good blood circulation, accelerating the death of that vital organ.
Michelle Meldrum had just completed the new album by his band Meldrum with drummer Gene Hoglan, and new additions Michele Madden (vocals) and Laura Christine (bass). The material, which was scheduled to leave shortly, will be released later this year as a tribute to the late Meldrum, according to his bandmates.
Michelle Meldrum, 39, was born in Detroit, Michigan (USA) on September 28, 1968 in a family of musicians and actors. At the age of 13 he moved to Los Angeles, California (USA), beginning her musical career as a thrash metal band called Wargod with drummer Gene Hoglan (ex Dark Angel, Death, Strapping Young Lad), although left to form Phantom Blue with whom he recorded his first album in 1989 with Shrapnel Records in the U.S. and Roadrunner in Europe and Japan, and then move to Geffen Records, who released his second book "Built To Perform" (1993).
Michelle was married to Europe guitarist John Norum, which led to go to Sweden where he created Meldrum. In 2006 he met with Gene Hoglan when it appeared as a guest on Meldrum's second album "Blowin 'Up The Machine" (2007), which inspired the guitarist to return to U.S. and begin working with Hoglan in the band's new album. Michelle Meldrum
leaves his parents and three year old boy named Jake Thomas, whose father is the aforementioned John Norum.
