RED DRAGON - TILBURG (NOORD-BRABANT) 1982 - 198?

BIOGRAPHY: This band from Tilburg started in 1982 and was probably founded by 3 brothers (looking at the names of the line-up). Musically they sounded a bit like Rainbow.
In ’85 they released the 5-track demo simply called ‘Demo’. The demo delivers good Hard Rock with an important spot for the keyboards. Maybe a bit too soft for the speed freaks, but Rainbow fans will like this demo for sure. On vinyl the band contributes on the Metal Power IV single with ‘Captured’. It’s not known (to us) what happened with the band after ’85, but surprisingly in 2006 a reunion gig is announced for the Tilburg Headbangers Fest at the 30th September. 21 years after the Metal Power IV single.
