Covered In Hollywood
Quiet Riot guitarist Alex Grossi and Guns N’ Roses keyboardist Dizzy Reed formed Hookers & Blow in 2003 as a way to get free drinks in Hollywood. Somehow over the course of 15+ years Hookers & Blow grew to something bigger. The now infamous cover band has toured the US and have been joined on stage by some of the biggest names in music. To take it another step further, Hookers & Blow recently released their debut self-titled album. It’s a 12 song collection that’s heavy on ’70s Rock classics, with a splash of ’80s thrown in. I had the chance to speak with Alex Grossi shortly after the album’s release.
