SouthGang

SouthGang was a Los Angeles-based glam metal band composed of Jesse Harte, Butch Walker, Jayce Fincher, and Mitch "Slug" McLee, active in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They had a similar style to many of the other "hair bands" of the era. The band is best remembered for their 1991 single "Tainted Angel," which received some MTV airplay, especially during "Headbanger's Ball".

SouthGang's debut album, "Tainted Angel", was produced by Desmond Child.

After the band's breakup in the mid-1990s, Butch Walker, Jayce Fincher, and Mitch McLee went on to form power pop band Marvelous 3, scoring a minor hit with "Freak of the Week" in 1998.

More recently, Butch Walker has had a successful solo music career, as well as written and produced hits for many of today's pop and rock artists such as Avril Lavigne and Bowling for Soup.

The band's original name was Byte the Bullet, which was changed to Southgang before they released their first album.

Butch Walker is currently pursing his solo career after Marvelous 3 called it a day. He has also been co-writing and producing other artists.

Jesse Harte is currently residing in Los Angeles, working the cell phone industry.

Mitch McLee is still playing drums in Atlanta, Georgia

Jayce Fincher is married to Christina Loree with a couple of children. He is working at a church in Atlanta as the musical production "go to" person. He also works with the middle school ministry.
