Dean Von’s Music Career with Danger, Aftershock & No Stranger

No Stranger was a compilation of leading musicians coming from five different rock bands to support an album previously recorded and being aired in Europe and listing in the top 10 radio spot. The band decided not tour Europe due to local performances and fast rising popularity here in the US. Tim Gaines, who at the time, lived in Nashville and recently toured with Richard Marx, had just lost a recording contract while playing with Stryper. Tim joined No Stranger, who was being produced by Bill Carruthers. Bill previously produced Wilson Phillips and was responsible for launching their careers. Joe Reggiatori, who wrote “Save Your Love,” which was performed by Great White, was No Stranger’s lead song writer. Joe now lives in Washington and is still recording songs. Tom Hardy, who was in the band Stormer, performed and toured with the Scorpions, Van Halen and other popular bands. Tom was also responsible for co-writing songs with Joe. Bill Green, to my right in photo above, played with a band here in LA called Grizzly. Bill was the star of the band, even though he was the drummer. I previously played with the band Danger, and we had played with most popular rock bands such as Great White, Lita Ford, Van Halen, Poison, Guns & Roses, Missing Persons and many more. We were considered Hollywood’s Head Liner Rock Band for a few years. My friends from Motley Crue would come to see me perform at the Roxy. Tommy Lee Bass, Tommy Lee, and I went to High School together. We were the school rock stars and played in the marching band together. Tom and I spend most of our time in High School playing gigs and hanging out.

More about Dean Von’s personal career –

Dean was born to perform!

He started his career as a singer/songwriter starting with piano at the age of 4. By age 9 he was synchronizing drum beats and in the 10th grade headlined with a music group primed to cut his first record. He practically lived in the recording studio and was the songwriter and lead singer for the bands Aftershock, Danger and No Stranger composing such hits as Crazy Like Me, Tramp In Black Leather, Can’t Keep My Eyes Off Of You and I’m Gonna Miss you. His bands headlined at the Roxy, Whiskey and Gazzari’s. Deans ballads are inspirational and drawn from his own life experiences. The son of June Von, a well known singer with Kate Smith and Liberace, she appeared on the Lawrence Welk Show and hosted her own radio show in Las Vegas, Nevada. After an 8 year sabbatical he decided to go back to his passion, writing and singing songs from his heart.

Dean met Lois in August of 2005 and began composing the theme songs for her programs. Out There, 2nd Chance For Glory, Bikini Pool and Believe in Me have already been recorded. Presently Dean is the Co-Host for Break N Run and the Host of Deans Pool Tips. All of the music featured on My Pool TV is composed and performed by The Dean Von Band.

The goal at My Pool TV™ is to have Deans songs drive the programs and the programs drive the songs. Let’s face it? When was the last time a television theme song has made it into the pop charts?

After listening to some of Dean’s research I knew right away that this talented heavy metal singer from Red Rayvn had choir in his youth. Like most choir people we can recognize it right away. His beautiful clear voice is awesome.

I would love to hear Dean and Mark tear it up on When Something is Wrong with My Baby. Recorded by two of my favorite singers, John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes, both legends of Rock and Roll in Australia Dean and Mark would rock it.

This will be number 12 in the Dean Von Music Podcast Show series. Moreover it is going to be followed up by two more yet to be announced talents that you won’t want to miss. Be sure to follow Dean and get ready for the show this Valentine’s Day weekend at 5:00 pm PST.

In addition, Slippin’ Away, featuring yours truly on the backing vocals is quietly making its way up the charts. It’s a song that makes you think and that is certainly what Dean’s fans are saying about the tune.

New Album Out Soon

I have yet to be given an exact date but I am told that the new album will be out soon. I’m trying to talk Dean into getting in pressed on vinyl as well. Why not?

If you are a fan of Dean Von and his music you will love the songs on the new album. If that’s not enough, he’s actually nearly finished with the cover which is truly amazing, such a talent.
