History
1980s
Masque is an American rock band formed in Hollywood California in April 1985. Masque performed live for the first time on July 18, 1985 at the Troubadour night club in West Hollywood California.[1] Masque was formed by lead-vocalist Tony Kelly after he departed Hollywood based band Network featuring Drew Forsyth, drummer of the original Quiet Riot with guitarist Randy Rhoads. The name Masque along with the bands elaborate costumes and stage artwork were influenced by the festive courtly entertainment which flourished in sixteenth and early seventeenth century Europe commonly known as a Masque. Between 1985 and 1989 the band performed live and recorded 16 songs that were never officially released to the public until 2008.
2008 to Present
In March 2008 Masque released a CD titled Face First on Suncity Records featuring 11 songs recorded between 1985 & 1988.[2] On December 12, 2008 the band announced they would be reuniting to record a new album and begin touring.[3] On June 12, 2009 Zzyzx Films and director Mark Jacobs announced plans to film a documentary based on the band’s journey back to the music business.[4] Jacobs is an award-winning director, producer and cinematographer best known for his work on MTV, VH1, A&E, NBC and FOX reality shows including Breaking Bonaduce, The Two Corey's, Obsessed, Kitchen Nightmares, Adventures in Hollywood, Rob and Big, Super Group featuring Ted Nugent and Sebastian Bach and most recently "Jesse's Story" a feature length documentary currently touring the festival circuit.[5]
