Slave Raider

80s American Glam Metal Band

Slave Raider was an American heavy metal band formed in 1985 that was known for its over-the-top antics, heavy make-up and glam song lyrics. In the Twin Cities, they had a sizable following that were known as 'The Raid'. They opened for such '80s bands as Ratt and Poison with the original line up. The band recorded three albums in the late 1980s and early 1990s, but were never able to make much of a dent in the glam metal scene. They were dropped by their record label following their third album release in 1990, and broke up soon after that with the band members going on to solo projects. The original line up has periodically reunited since then to perform the occasional reunion show. Band members: * Chainsaw Caine (Mike Findling), lead vocals * Lance Sabin, guitar * Nicci Wikkid (David Hussman), guitar * Letitia Rae, bass * The Rock, drums
