"BUILDing Blocks" Day 5 of Inktober. Decided with this one to build more of a background pattern cuz a lot of them feel empty. (And anyone that knows me knows I love making patterns.) haha just making a shout out to my homie @michaelleanes because this design made me remember of him.

Going back to...’89 Tuff live at “The Stone” Friday June 9th 1989 San Francisco California. Where are my Bay Area peeps.... Shout out to @davyvain and all the Vain family who we met way back and shared the stage with over the years.

Who remembers Kickass Hair from Antenna? For those not in the know, Antenna was the hip Hair Salon to get your hair done at, and yes... that included hair extensions. 😂 Tuff appeared in their local advertisements in 1987 for their Valley locations. #1987 #tuff #antenna #theeighties #stevierachelle #jorgedesaint #toddchaisson #michaellean 😃✂️🛴🔥🔪❤️🍆💦💪🎤😊 https://www.instagram.com/p/B7PZmEhnkH_/?igshid=hrbeguvii9vb

21 years ago...where were you? Dec. 17th 1988 Tuff headlined the “Whisky-A-Go-Go” At the time our draw was big enough, to do 2 shows in 1 night, with only 1 support band. That band, was the always awesome 4,3,2,1.., The Zeros. If my memory is correct, we got paid $3,000.00. This was our Full-Page BAM advertisement for the show... and yes, the Ornaments on the tree are the band member’s faces. A big shout out to all of those from way back, who saw, supported & helped both of our bands achieve such great success in Hollywood. #Tuff #StevieRachelle #ToddChaisson #JorgeDeSaint #MichaelLean #TheZeros #SammySerious #JoeNormal #DannyDangerous #MrInsane #HowieHubberman #WhiskyAGoGo #SunsetStrip #Hollywood #California #1988 #MerryXmas @theofficialdannydangerous @oldnewyorkdeli @smokinrocknroll @joe.normal @thewhiskyagogo @howiehubberman @sammyseriousthezeros @t.odd1 @thesunsetstrip 😃🛴🔥🔪❤️🍆💦🎤💪😀 https://www.instagram.com/p/B6KorFnny9L/?igshid=e17c56lsjhe2

How crazy! Where were you 32 years ago? I know where I was... Nov. 6th 1987, a full 32 years ago. Tuff played our very first show at the “Whisky-A-Go-Go” and were the headliner. We also got paid a handsome $500.00 guarantee. lol It was a Sold Out show and I have the live video to prove it, it also proves we sucked beyond belief. Ha. Fun Fact: The Promoter was Razzmatazz Productions, who was headed up by Janie Liszewski. Today she is better known as, Mrs. Eddie Van Halen. Crazy how time flies. I recently found our full-page BAM ad for this show. With our “Females Wanted...Now Hiring... Apply in Person” theme. I’m getting a kick out of our individual titles under our photos. #wtf My name was also misspelled as Stevie Rachell 🤪 Photos by: Gene Kirkland At the time, for a short while we were also managed by Johnni Teagarden, and our P.R. person was Del James. Shout out to Hair by Antenna, and Al Bane for Leather stage clothes. #tuff #stevierachelle #jorgedesaint #toddchaisson #michaellean #genekirkland #whisky #whiskyagogo #sunsetstrip #bammagazine #razzmatazzproductions #janieliszewski 🛴🔥🔪❤️🎤💪🍆💦👊💰😀😂😫🤩🤣🤪😁 https://www.instagram.com/p/B4hDIt9nPZJ/?igshid=1xwgcv1lsw6ad

Tuff live ... Either late 1989 or early 1990. Michael Lean and Stevie Rachelle. Not that you asked, but I still have those pants. Lol. However, Michael’s badass purple Sonor kit with all black powder coated hardware was lost in the fire when our Ryder truck was stolen while on tour a few years later. Ugh! #tuff #tuffband #stevierachelle #michaellean @sonordrumco @paistecymbals #theeighties 🎤🥁🔪❤️🍆💦🛴🔥🤪 https://www.instagram.com/p/B4QELt6H1Aj/?igshid=1nwruyz2ulzxn

Thank you Kerrang! Magazine May 6th 1989, Issue #237 page 45 under Koncertz (Reviews). Special thanks to Brian Brandeis Brinkerhoff, the Reviewer. According to the @Kerrang Koncertz Kardiak Kwota, we were 1 level above Dead, listed on the Danger List. But in our favor, aside from the full Half-Page, we also got a Photo and our entire Review Highlighted. Something the others (Bad Company, Mother Love Bone & Wrecking Crew) didn’t receive. Kerrang in their heyday, was a bit Metal Sludgy, and I can recall the Zine laying it to us more than a few times. But it was all good... and I am thankful. As much as Mr. Brinkerhoff seemed to hate us, he was correct when he ended his review with: “But the scary thing is, these guys might get signed!” And he was right. 😃🛴🔥🔪❤️💪💯🎸🥁🎤😆 @kerrangmagazine_ @kerrangradio #kerrang #kerrangmagazine #brianbrinkerhoff #tuff #StevieRachelle #JorgeDeSaint #MichaelLean #ToddChaisson #MetalSludge https://www.instagram.com/p/B1o_qTUHGUw/?igshid=120rak0uk83rk

30 Years Later. Back in 1989, my good friend @marthaquinn came back to @mtv And of course they ran a cool commercial where Martha said "I'm Back!" And of course she was properly dressed in rock n' roll attire..sporting a TUFF tour t-shirt. We first met in a apartment lobby in 1988, became friends, and she's been a big supporter and awesome friend to us for 30+ years. Here's to another 3 decades of friendship Martha!
