PARIS HILTON


Artist: Blind Vengeance




Harold Hess (lead vocals)
Cam Goudy (drums)
Darren Smith (drums; replaced Goudy)
Darryl Fraturra (guitar)
Bill Brough (bass)

With their original metal parody band called Black Cabbage not quite making the grade, Darryly Fraturra (guitars) and Cam Goudy (drums)  recruited vocalist/bassist Harold Hess to complete a new line-up under the name Blind Vengeance. But Hess preferred to sing and bass duties were taken over by Bill Brough.

But by the Spring of 1984, Goudy had been replaced Durango 95 drummer Darren Smith.

Elizabeth Casselman and partner Rick Warner of Warner-Casselman Music signed the act to a management deal, paid for the recording of their self-titled independent album on Ricker Records in 1984 and helped spearhead the eventual signing to Attic Records' distributed Viper label in 1985.

The self-titled album featuring all-original songs was remixed by Bob Gallo for which he added one additional song - "Night Music" - and renamed the record 'Taste Of Sin', which was re-released in September 1984.

Following the band's demise, the duo of Smith and Hess met up with fellow Oshawa natives Pete Lesperance (guitar) from the band Minotaur and Mike Gionet (bass) to form Harem Scarem.

with notes from Tommy Saunders and Elizabeth Casselman.
