About this user

Alexx Michael, songwriter and bassplayer from Munich ( Germany ) had for several years the Vision of "The ultimate Rock'n Roll band". Beeing influenced by KISS, since he was 7 years old, he started to play guitar at the age of 15. Later he switched from guitar to bass.

By April of 1989, he formed the original version of "Shameless". They were one of the best drawing bands in Munich, selling out a 500 person rock club on their first show ever. Because of the departure of the vocalist, the band broke up by the end of 1991.
After that, Alexx tried to play with a couple of other bands, but none of them appealed to him. He kept writing songs and by the summer of 1998, Eric Singer ( drummer of KISS and Alice Cooper ) helped him to get in touch with the right people to make the first album happen. "Steve Summers" and "Stevie Rachelle" were always Alexx's favourite singers and they also would be the perfect voices for "Shameless". Eddie Robison would be the final vocalist to round out the sound Alexx invisioned.
Besides Eric Singer, Alexx was able to get Robert Sweet, Brian Tichy and Eric Skodis to play drums on the first album "Backstreet Anthems".
Alexx asked his longtime friend and ex-bandmate B.C. to fly with him to Los Angeles to play guitar on "Backstreet Anthems". They recorded and mixed 10 songs with producer Gilby Clarke ( ex Guns N' Roses guitarist ) in Studio City, CA.
"Backstreet Anthems" was released thru "Red Skunk Records" in May 1999".
The CD was received with open arms by fans and press. The coverversion of the KISS classic "Flaming Youth" was also released on the german KISS tribute "KISS Deutschland". Even a lot of record companies were interested in the CD, but they all had different ideas than Alexx had.

During the summer of 1999, Alexx was writing new songs for the next "Shameless" CD. B.C. and him started to rehearse the songs by January 2000. This time Alexx wanted to record some of the songs at Keri Kelli's studio. Kerri was also a member of Pretty Boy Floyd, before he joined RATT.

In March 2000 "Shameless" recorded the new CD "Queen 4 a Day". This time 13 songs where recorded including an all acoustic coverversion of "Tomorrow" by KISS for a KISS tribute called "KAOL 2 -- Creatures of the Net".
Gene Simmons himelf called Stevie Rachelle during the recordings and told him, that "Shameless" could record a song that he co-wrote together with Tommy Thayer.
Also Jani Lane, the "real" voice of Warrant came by, to sing back-ups on "Far Away" and "Lonely Nite in Paradise". All the songs with Steve Summers on vocals were recorded in Keri Kelli's studio in Orange County, while the remaining recordings took again place in the legendary Gilby Clarke studios.

Because of his tour with Warrant, Keri was not able to mix the songs before the end of May. By the end of June, MTM Music offered Alexx to release "Queen 4 a Day" all over Europe.
Right before the release of "Queen 4 A Day", "Shameless" went on a Germany / Holland tour to promote the new CD. Bruce Kulick ( ex KISS guitarist ) came along with the band to perform a few songs together live on stage.

In 2001 Alexx Michael and Steve Summers also appeared on the Poison Tribute "Name Your Poison" by Perris Records.

"Shameless" started to work on their follow-up to "Queen 4 A Day" in March that year. This time the line-up was more consistant on the CD in order to concentrate more on the music than on "Who´s playing what".

The new release "Splashed" features 11 tracks performed by Steve Summers, Alexx Michael, Keri Kelli, B.C., Mike Fasano and Stevie Rachelle. The CD also includes exclusive videomaterial of the 2000 tour with special guest Bruce Kulick and the video for "Don't Hesitate".

Once again "Splashed" proves that "Shameless" doesn't care about trends. Even some songs like "Toy Human" or "Getaway" are heavier than you've been used to so far, "Shameless" won't change their style, look or attitude for anyone. Alexx Michael said: " I would rather work at McDonald's than do music that I don't like."

"Shameless" toured October 2003 in England and they also did a very successful European tour in spring 2004.

At the moment Alexx is writing songs for the new "Shameless" album "Famous 4 Madness". It will be available 2007. The band starts recording the album in December 2006. Some of the new song titles are:

Crashdown
Famous 4 Madness
We won't take it anymore
U belong 2 me
