Arcade (band)

Arcade is a rock band formed in 1991 by ex-Ratt vocalist Stephen Pearcy, ex- Sea Hags guitarist Frankie Wilsex , ex- talas/michael monroe guitarist johnny angel, and Cinderella drummer Fred Coury. Its originally proposed name was to be "Taboo".

Arcade released several albums. Their first self-titled album was released in June 1992, and contained 12 songs. Notably, the cover-art for their first album featured the face of porn star Tricia Yen.

Arcade went on tour with Bon Jovi in 1993 and also played at the Milwaukee Metal Fest in 1993 playing to over 15,000 fans.

Arcade's second album was recorded and released in 1994 and was produced by Audie Bauw. A/2 featured a much heavier sound and contained a song called "KIDNAPPED". KIDNAPPED was a song written for POLLY KLAS, a girl who had been kidnapped and killed in 1993.

Arcade's third album, "A/3: Live and Unreleased", was released in 2000, and contained many of the same songs as their first album, but recorded during a live performance, and some previously unreleased songs.

The band broke up in 1994, and Pearcy went on to form another new band, Vertex.

Stephen Pearcy had announced that the band were to reunite and release a CD and DVD and tour in late 2006. This never came to be, as he rejoined Ratt.
