After Alan Marsh was pushed out of Tokyo Blade by Powerstation Records, he bounced back with Shogun, formed with Chinatowns Danny Gwilym.
1987saw the band engage ex Tokyo Blade players Andy Wrighton (Bass), Steve Pearce (Drums) and sign to JET records before releasing their second album (so called because the album tracks were written and recorded in one month). JET released a single, “Cloak and Dagger” in 7″ and 12″ red vinyl at the same time. The band featured yet another line up for 1988 with keyboards (Andy Higgins) after the departure of Toby Martin. Andy Robbins (another ex-Tokyo Blade man) was brought in on the bass and the band was at its rockingest best when supporting Meatloafs UK tour of that year. Late 1988 and the band went to Los Angeles in late ’88 to re-mix the ballad “Voices from the heart”. The job was done by producer Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd & Rod Stuart producer) at “One on one” studios in Hollywood and was released as a 7″ and 12″ single. The 31 days album is available with either version of this track depending on the albums release date. A few months after the Meatloaf tour, the band parted company with JET Records. The line up disintegrated with Andy Robbins (Bass) going on to join the UK band “Skin”. Danny and Alan continued to write together and wrote and recorded 13 tracks which were never released. Shortly after this, the band parted company with its management and Danny and Alan lost contact for a while before coming together again with Andy Boulton (Tokyo Blade) to form a new outfit called “Mr. Ice”…
