Angel Edge
1989 -1992


Angel Edge

Kirk Barrows, Eddie Garcia, Kenny Romero, Renaldo Guillen, Rumaldo Ortiz

 

Band was formed in 1989 and went on to receive the coveted Coors sponsorship immediately after Joe Maloof heard our demo tape. There were quite a number of bands vying for the sponsorship at the time until they heard our demo. The band received airplay on rock stations in Albuquerque New Mexico, Dallas Texas, Las Vegas Nevada, and Los Angeles California, and played many concerts to promote Coors as well as some charity events. The band received some label interest and at the 1990 NMMIC Awards, where they won Best Musical Production Rock / Metal and People’s Choice award; Dexter Moore of BMI discussed recording possibilities with their producer, but the band was dissolved before anything transpired.
