RED ROCKERS
From New Orleans, Louisiana. Led by John Thomas Griffith (vocals/guitar) with Darren Hill (bass), James Singletary (guitar) and Jimmy Reilly (drums). Several albums yielded a few minor hits including covers of The Hooters' "Blood From A Stone" and a cover of the 60's classic "Eve Of Destruction". Their notable hit came in the form of "China", a new wave classic. The band started as a Clash tribute band called The Rat Finks. They took their name from the song by The Dils called "Red Rockers Rule". Reilly was the groups second drummer, having a previous tenure in Stiff Little Fingers. Reilly and Hill then became members of The Raindogs. Griffith is now in the popular Cowboy Mouth. 1979-84.
