Black N’ Blue

Black ‘N Blue was a Heavy Metal band that was labeled to be the “next big thing” in the mid 80’s, but despite having a loyal fan base, they never broke through commercially.
The group was formed by Jaime St. James (vocals), Tommy Thayer (guitar), Jeff Warner (guitar), Patrick Young (bass) and Pete Holmes (drums) in Portland, Oregon in 1981. By relocating to Los Angeles, they made their debut on the first Metal Massacre compilation with the song “Chains Around Heaven”, before landing a major label deal.
