The roots of the Electric Love Hogs go back to San Diego, USA, where Feldmann and Hendrix/Metallica fanatic Donny Campion had been playing together since they were 15. The two hooked up with the Glendale, California-born Fernandez and Salem, Oregon native and Kiss Army member LeMieux to play their first gigs in San Diego before moving to L.A. to try cracking the local club scene. They eventually added another guitarist in Kushner, a veteran of the punk scene with Wasted Youth and the 28-piece Trulio Disgracias, a loose-knit conglomeration of musicians which included members of Fishbone and the Chili Peppers.
The group built a local following which included Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, who ended up producing a pair of tracks on the band’s album. Other contributors to the record, produced by Mark Dodson (Anthrax, Suicidal Tendencies), include Jane Addiction/Infectious Groove drummer Stephen Perkins, who plays all the percussion on the record, Suicidal/Infectious Grooves member Robert Trujillo; Kenny Laguna on piano and Trulio Disgracias rapper, Bronx-style Bob.
The Electric Love Hogs live shows crystallized what this band was all about – a non-stop mosh pit for the cathartic release of pent-up adolescent frustration. The Electric Love Hogs guarantee: Get into em – you’ll be as happy as a pig in shit when you do.

The band that spawned Goldfinger John Feldmann (guitars, vocals) and Kelly LeMieux (bass) and Orgy drummer Bobby Hewitt (who was then Bobby Fernandez) got together as a cover band in San Diego. Also featuring guitarists Donni Campion (who also went on to play with Goldfinger) and Dave Kushner, the band named itself Electric Love Hogs in a satirical swipe at the L.A. glam rock scene of the late ’80s. Blending funk and metal, the band began creating originals and signed with London Records, releasing just one album in 1992. Mark Dodson did most of the producing, but two songs — produced by Motley Crue Tommy Lee — drew particular interest. The Love Hogs toured with L.A. Guns in the U.S. and Ugly Kid Joe in the U.K.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rude, Loud and Unapologetic,
I first heard this band in 1992 when the supported Ugly Kid Joe in the Glasgow Barrowlands. After being impressed with their energetic live performance and catching a glimpse of their single “”Tribal Monkey”” on late night rock show RAW POWER I made a point of looking out for their album. When I found it…I wasn’t “”Disappointed”” as one of the tracks may suggest. Crunching guitars and pounding drums give a solid backbone for the wild lyrics that are, at times, screamed over the top of this relentless rock/metal extravaganza. “”Keep Getting Up”” should have been a “”Rock Anthem”” with it classical guitar riffs and crunching chorus, other songs such as “”Feel like Steve”” “”Mr Fun”” and “”PUD”” are as early 90 rock as you could imagine….but all in a good way. The album finally finishes brilliantly with a Chilly Pepper styled “”Just Another Day”” which may well be the finest song on the album fusing Funk, Rap, Metal and ROCK.
Buy this, you wont be disappointed !!!
