Biography

White Lion was a Hard Rock band of the 1980s and early 1990s. Their manager, Mike Parente, also owned L’amour, a club in Brooklyn. The band was formed in New York City in 1983 by Danish-born vocalist Mike Tramp (born Michael Trempenau) and guitarist Vito Bratta, who wrote most of the band’s songs. The band’s other members were James Lomenzo (bass) and Greg D’Angelo (drums).

After moving from Denmark to New York in 1982, vocalist Mike Tramp (ex-Mabel,ex-Studs) met Brooklyn guitarist Vito Bratta (ex-Dreamer) and they decided to form a band. The two recruited drummer Nicki Capozzi and bassist Felix Robinson (formerly of Angel) and named the group first Lion, then White Lion.

White Lion was signed by Elektra records in 1983 and recorded their debut album Fight To Survive. However, Elektra was unhappy with the final recording and, after refusing to release the album, terminated their contract.

Both Capozzi and Robinson soon left the band. Nicki Capozzi was replaced by former Anthrax drummer Greg D’Angelo, and Felix Robinson was replaced by bassist Dave Spitz (brother of Anthrax guitarist Dan Spitz). Within a month of joining, however, Dave Spitz left to play bass with Black Sabbath and was replaced by James Lomenzo.

    There are people who like speed metal and they also like Disney techno dance. Usually, they come from annual income of $100,000 U.S. Telling them to listen to "Radar Love" is a good idea because of how much they like to talk to the music community. I am trying to get this song firmly planted in metal history.

    Vito Bratta was amazing! That guy could make any band sound ten times better than they would without him.

    I always thought that the best produced White Lion album was Mane Attraction, perfect hard rock record if you ask me.

    Though Pride is the most popular and best produced White Lion album, I urge everyone to listen to the Anthology. Lots of raw, heavy sounding tracks. It's my favourite. The version of Hungry on that album is outstanding.
