About House of Lords
An extension of the band Giuffria, House Of Lords implemented the same majestic and melodic approach to heavy metal. Their brand of keyboard laced arena rock sold in vast amounts, but an unwillingness to tour proved to kill any initial interest the group had garnered.
When KISS' Gene Simmons signed Giuffria to his RCA offshoot Simmons Records, he insisted that the group change their name and recommended they replace singer David Glen Eisley. Thus House Of Lords became the last incarnation of Giuffria, simply with a new vocalist. The band was comprised of Gregg Giuffria (keyboards), James Christian (vocals), Lanny Cordola (guitar), Chuck Wright (bass) and Ken Mary (drums).
The debut album, and it's charting single "I Wanna Be Loved", sold reasonably well, but an unwillingness of the band to tour resulted in Cordola quitting in frustration. Michael Guy took over on guitars and they recorded Sahara, an album filled with numerous well-known guest appearances. The record went platinum, but the band split soon after with few live shows being done again.
Giuffria and Christian re-formed to record a new album for the Japanese market with Chick (guitar), Sean McNabb (another ex-Quiet Riot bassist) and Tommy Aldridge (drums ex-Whitesnake etc).
A full blown House Of Lords reunion was announced during 2002 with a line-up comprising vocalist James Christian, guitarist Lanny Cordola, bass player Chuck Wright, keyboard player Gregg Giuffria and Ken Mary on the drums. An album, 'The Power And The Myth', was projected for the same year but then anticipation died down as all apparently went quiet. Some two years later it was learned the record had been completed and slated for release by the Italian Frontiers label. However, Giuffria had backed out and keyboard contributions on the album came courtesy of Alice Cooper, Planet X, Dream Theater and Yngwie Malmsteen veteran Derek Sherinian.
Following the less than positive response to 'The Power And The Myth' James Christian crafted an all new solo album 'Meet The Man' for October 2004 release.
In January 2006 the House Of Lords line-up underwent a shift of personnel, inducting guitarist Jimi Bell, bassist Jeff Kent and the Yngwie Malmsteen, Driver, Thunderhead and Wayne credited B.J Zampa on drums. Bell held prior experience with the Joined Forces, Geezer ButleR BAND, Thunderhead, MVP, Bird Of Prey and Wayne. The new line-up released the highly successful album "World Upside Down" in May of 2006 on Frontiers label, which was hailed as the return to the classic House Of Lords sound by long time fans.
