YES! FINALLY, AFTER 20 YEARS - FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER ON CD ARE THE ONLY RECORDING’S OF L.A’S ‘SUNSET STRIP’ BASED HAIR METAL LEGENDS "PAIR-A-DICE"!!
HERE IS THEIR STORY....
Pair-A-Dice played an important part in the rise of the L.A. Metal scene in the 80s.
Founding members Nick Masella (bass) and Paul Lancia (vocals) started Pair-A-Dice together in 1986. Daz (drums) joined soon after, followed by Billy D'Vette (guitar, vocals) and Dave Marshall (guitar, vocals).
This solidified the line up that went onto becoming one of the most exciting live bands on the Sunset Strip in the Mid 80’s
The next few years saw this hard rockin' band selling out shows at clubs such as: 'The Whiskey a Go Go', ‘The Troubadour', ‘The Roxy', Gazzari’s ,'Chuck Landis Country Club’, ‘The Marquee', and many others.
All the while, they would be writing and recording 'demo' tracks for a future album.
 
Pair-A-Dice enjoyed a huge following, and played with many of L.A.'s hottest bands like: Guns N Roses, Poison, Warrant, LA Guns, Bang Tango, Jet Boy, Tuff, Pretty Boy Floyd, Jailhouse, The Zeros, and Racer X.
 
"We got the chance to go to Japan as an unsigned band in 1989. This was unprecedented, and since we were always up for an adventure - off we went!
We toured Japan with Jet Boy selling out two shows at the MZA Sound Coliseum, and enjoyed doing numerous interviews and performing at Pair-A-Dice’s own headlining events.  This made it possible for us to really see Tokyo and sample a taste of their culture."- Billy D'Vette
 
Upon their return to L.A. Paul started his own self-titled project: 'Lancia', and soon after, the remaining members of Pair-A-Dice all tried their luck with other groups: Dave went on to play with Brunette/ Fiona and The Vince Neil Band. Billy replaced Marc Ferrari in Cold Sweat. Nick played with Ashes II Ashes, And Daz played on Alice Cooper’s video “Line on You”.
 
Until now, their music has gone unheard except in the hearts of their faithful fans!
"We hope you enjoy this album as much as we will - knowing all the hard work and great times that went into it..."
