Sometimes it takes a while for the music loving public to catch up. KK Wilde is a name that echoes through the halls of the legendary 80s/90s Sunset Strip musical mosaic, and has made a triumphant, powerful return with their first official music video in 25 years! Formed in 1989 by vocalist/songwriter Chris Lieck and guitarist Eddie Wilde, the band quickly became a staple in the LA hair-metal rock scene, embodying the wild and rebellious spirit of the era. Their early albums, Rock n Roll and Cocaine Cowboy, have become coveted collectibles, gaining new fans and selling out with each re-release by FNA Records. Why would a record over thirty two years old fetch $2000.00 on Ebay? It was the hooks, the looks and the songcraft that established KK WILDE as a ferocious force, and it still is.
In 2023, KK Wilde returned to the studio with renewed inspiration, creating 12 brand-new tracks that blend the gritty essence of 80s rock with a modern sound. Their latest release, “Hellraisers & Vampires”, is a thrilling, “live large, love life” anthem that takes listeners on a journey through the wild and untamed lifestyle of upstart hard rockers blowin’ off some steam.. Written by Chris Lieck, the song tells the story of a night filled with mischief, rebellion, and the camaraderie of band life, all wrapped in the signature sound that made KK Wilde a legend in their own right.
The official music video for “Hellraisers & Vampires” marks KK Wilde’s first video release in 25 years, and it does not disappoint. The video captures the spirit of the band’s heyday, cruising in a ’73 Trans Am and soaking in the nightlife along the Sunset Strip. This visual journey is more than just a trip down memory lane; it’s a celebration of the band’s enduring legacy and a testament to their ability to still captivate audiences old and new.
