Tora Tora: Surprise Attack

Rocky Road

From Classic Rock to Progessive to hip hop to today's hot new tunes!

I was conversing with a fellow inmate, when the band Tora Tora came up. Hot damn, their debut album, Surprise Attack is now a quarter century old! At the time, the band were still teenagers. Yet, they came up with a solid Led Zep clone.

I used to think that Surprise Attack sounded kind of slick. But when I saw Tora Tora (opening for L.A. Guns) in late '89 or early '90 at San Francisco's Warfield, their live performance sounded very similar to what's on record. I've been going to rock concerts for decades. I'm racking my brain, and I can't think of any other band whose live performance sounded as close to what's on record.

Now that I look back, it's too bad Tora Tora didn't team up with that other Lep Zep clone, Kingdom Come (whom I saw open for Warrant at S.F.'s The Fillmore in June '89). A Tora Tora/Kingdom Come bill would have been awesome!
