Chance Tinder: "Metal Elvis"  Lead Vocals
Hometown: Los Angeles California



Claim to fame:

Chance has been involved with the "World of Elvis" since the mid 1980's.  He's appeared both on and off stage as himself and as "Elvis Presley."  Yet it was one of Elvis's personal friends, Bill Medley (The deeper voiced brother) of the Righteous Brothers, that first discovered Chance, and took notice of his likeness to the King!  Since that moment early on, Chance has continued to entertain thousands throughout the world in the name of Elvis Presley.  Las Vegas' "What's On" magazine wrote: "He knows exactly what he's doin'... He's shy and humble, yet raw & sexy.  He IS Elvis Presley on that stage".  To this day, Chance continues to "Rock & Roll" as the "King" both nationally and internationally. With the loyalty of his fans, Chance doesn't plan on stepping off the stage anytime soon either. He continues to keep "reinventing" himself as "Elvis", such as with his tribute to "Elvis - Metal Style!"  He's extremely thankful for his God given talent, and enjoys paying "tribute" to such a legendary figure in American music... The "King of Rock & Roll." Elvis Presley!  Jan. 8th 1935 - Aug. 16th 1977

Walter Colin: "The Katman" Drums & Vocals

Mike Miller: "Nikki Sixx" Bass
Hometown: Chicago Illinois



Claim to fame:

Mike's career began with his love for the guitar, long before his "Bass playing days." In fact Mike began his guitar playing career as a "classical guitarist." In other words, he's got fast & tricky fingers! Anyway, after moving from the windy city of Chicago, Mike found himself performing throughout Southern California and other various parts of the Southwest. He then settled in the Phoenix area, only after being invited as a guest soloist with Chandler Arizona's San Marcos Symphony.

Since the days of playing classical guitar, Mike's "taste" has changed which has allowed him to pursue other fun and exciting projects. Such as numerous coffee houses, specialty gigs and corporate functions. Mike also produced several of his own instrumental C.D.'s. Many are a cross between Meditation and New Age types of music. Such as his debut C.D. titled "Solitude." However, Mike's playing also involved his thumping & picking of the Bass guitar which lead him into many other fields... Studio Work, Blues, Country, Rock and so forth.

Because of his move into further Bass work Mike has played with the following:
"Great Gig In The Sky - A Tribute to Pink Floyd", "The Dave Schultz Band - Southern Rock", "High Plains Drifters - A 60's to 90's Cover Band", "Harm - The Name Says It All."

In all of Mike's experiences, he is most fond of what he's doing today! Playing the part he was born to play... That of a hard rockin' Bass player for "METAL ELVIS." There's simply nothing anymore fun than to be Rockin' & Rollin' for the KING!
