The name KK Wilde will be a familiar one, rocking through the LA Hair-Metal music scene of the 80s and 90s on the famous Sunset Strip. Now they make their triumphant return with their first official music video in 25 years, for new single, ‘Hellraisers & Vampires’.
KK Wilde’s early albums have become coveted collectibles, with ‘Rock n Roll’, and ‘Cocaine Cowboy’ each selling out on their release by FNA Records. Now you’ll be lucky to pick up a copy on eBay for less than $2000. It’s testament to the songcraft, the hooks, and of course, the looks of KK Wilde, and fans will be happy that they’re back to do it all over again.
KK Wilde returned to the studio in 2023 with a new vigour and renewed inspiration, where they laid down 12 brand new tracks, all of which combine the time-honoured 80s rock style with a more modern sensibility. Latest release, ‘Hellraisers & Vampires’ is a showcase of an anthem, taking listeners on a journey through the wild lives of hard rockers. Written by Chris Lieck, the song tells the story of a night filled with the mischief, mayhem, and camaraderie of band life, packaged together in KK Wilde’s signature sound.
Even after 25 years since their last official music video, the clip for ‘Hellraisers & Vampires’ certainly doesn’t disappoint. Capturing the spirit of the band’s prime, we see them cruising the Strip in a 1973 Trans Am, soaking up all the nightlife as they go. It’s a visual journey that serves not only as a trip down memory lane, but also as a celebration of KK Wilde’s enduring legacy, and their ability to draw in fans, both old and new.
