THE BAND WAS FORMED IN 1981 BY STEVE REVIS AND DANNY RILEY IN DECATUR ILLINOIS. THE ORIGINAL LINEUP WAS STEVE REVIS-VOCALS, TRACY THOMPSON-GUITAR, DANNY RILEY-BASS, GREG BICKERS-GUITAR, DAVE SMALLEY, DRUMS. MIKE MCKINNEY REPLACED GREG BICKERS IN 1985.
TRACY THOMPSON PASSED AWAY A FEW YEARS AGO, MUCH TOO YOUNG TO BE TAKEN FROM US
RR HAS RECORDED 4 ALBUMS TO DATE. FIRST SHOT, RUSSIAN ROULETTE2, CELESTIAL BODY, AND WATERFIELDS.
THE FIRST 3 RR ALBUMS WERE WRITTEN BY MIKE MCKINNEY AND STEVE REVIS. CELESTIAL BODY WAS RECORDED ENTIRELY BY MIKE AND STEVE.
RR NOW HAS THE GREAT SCOTT COGAN IN THE LINUP ON GUITAR. SCOTT HAS TOURED AND GUESTED FOR NUMEROUS MAJOR ACTS AND BEEN IN THE BIG SHOW FOR YEARS. HE IS A SONGWRITING GENIUS. SCOTT AND STEVE WROTE AND RECORDED THE ENTIRE WATERFIELDS ALBUM.
RUSSIAN ROULETTE IS NOW BASED ON THE EAST COAST OF THE US IN SUNNY MYRTLE BEACH, SC.
THE CURRENT LINEUP FEATURES MOST OF THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS:
STEVE REVIS- VOCALS
SCOTT COGAN- GUITAR
MIKE MCKINNEY- GUITAR
DAVE SMALLEY- DRUMS
TONY CANTOO- BASS
26 YEARS AND STILL GOING AS STRONG AS EVER... RR IS LIKE A MUSEUM PIECE OF A LATE 70'S STYLE ROCK BAND THAT REFUSES TO CHANGE ITS MUSIC IN ORDER TO FITS THE CURRENT TRENDS.
ROCK MUSIC WAS NEVER BETTER THAN THE LATE 70'S... RUSSIAN ROULETTE IS PERFECTLY CONTENT TO STAY THERE.
TAKE A TRIP BACK... YOU NEVER HAVE TO GROW OLD... ALL THOSE MOMENTS ARE RIGHT THERE IN YOUR MIND STILL....
