Hard Rock
Vandenberg

Hard Rock
One of the finest six-stringers on the planet, Adrian Vandenberg is arguably also one of the most underrated.
By the mid-’70s, Adrian Vandenberg was already forging his own path. In 1976, at just 22 years old and while still an art student at the Academy of Arts, he formed his first rock band, Teaser, releasing a self-titled debut the following year. Relentless touring across the Benelux and Germany helped shape the foundation of a career that was quickly gathering momentum.
That momentum became unmistakable in 1981 with the formation of Vandenberg. Signed to Atlantic Records, the band achieved international recognition with their self-titled debut, driven by the enduring rock ballad “Burning Heart,” which reached No. 39 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Follow-up albums Heading for a Storm (1983) and Alibi (1985) further elevated the band’s profile, while major tours alongside Ozzy Osbourne, Rush, and KISS established Vandenberg as a formidable live act. A gifted visual artist as well as a guitarist, Adrian painted the band’s album artwork himself, leaving a distinctive visual signature on the era.
In the early-’80s, Vandenberg’s playing and songwriting had already drawn the attention of David Coverdale, and in late 1986 he joined Whitesnake just ahead of their commercial peak. His instantly recognizable guitar solo on “Here I Go Again” helped propel the song to No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard charts, with seven additional U.S. chart hits and an estimated 14 million albums sold following in the years that came next. Although a wrist injury prevented him from recording Slip of the Tongue (1989) – with Steve Vai handling studio duties – Vandenberg remained an important creative presence as a songwriter and, after almost a year of physical therapy, returned for the subsequent world tour, sharing the stage with Vai.
After Whitesnake paused in 1991 due to the Coverdale/Page project, Vandenberg formed Manic Eden with fellow Whitesnake alumni Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge, recruiting vocalist Ron Young. The band released a self-titled album and toured France. He later reunited with Coverdale to co-write Restless Heart (1997), followed by a world tour and the intimate acoustic live album Starkers in Tokyo (1998), recorded with just Coverdale and Vandenberg.
Equally respected as a visual artist, Vandenberg stepped away from the music industry for several years to focus on his art, exhibitions, and to be involved in raising his daughter. His return to the international music scene in 2013 with bluesrock flavored ‘Vandenberg’s MoonKings’ marked a renewed creative chapter, yielding album releases in 2014, 2017, and 2018.
In 2019, he once again revived the Vandenberg name, releasing a new album in 2020 with vocalist Ronnie Romero. Pandemic restrictions temporarily stalled touring, but momentum returned with Sin (2024), co-written with Swedish powerhouse vocalist Mats Levén. and followed by extensive international touring – underscoring Adrian Vandenberg’s enduring impact on the history of rock.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York DJ Alex Kayne started out as a teenage mobile DJ spinning dance music in the mid 70's. His club DJ career began when he beat a multitude of other DJs, winning a borough-wide turntablist "Battle of the DJs" mixing contest at the Night Gallery Discothèque in Brooklyn. Word on the street about the winner of this battle spread quickly and Kayne began getting a lot of work, DJ-ing in several local clubs.
Over the years, he has worked at various venues large and small in and around the New York City area. He is widely considered to be New York City's first ever heavy metal club/venue DJ.
A name that is synonymous with L'Amour, Alex Kayne first came to the as then unknown but future world famous Heavy Metal Venue L'Amour in 1978. His DJ residency there started in late 1981 and ran continuously until the end of 1984. Subsequently he worked at L'Amour East in Queens, and at L'Amour Brooklyn again on and off until the Brooklyn venue closed in 2004 and was the only DJ at the L'Amour Staten Island spinoff club from 2006 to 2009. During his early tenure as L'Amour's original metal and most popular, influential DJ, his raspy, booming voice and more importantly his unique brand of hard rock and heavy metal spinning style gave the venue its unrivaled personality, directly contributing to the venue's worldwide fame while elevating the club’s prestige among the burgeoning metal sector.
He is widely credited as the first club DJ in New York to spin Metallica, Accept, Biohazard, Y&T, The Rods, TNT, Queensryche, Anthrax, Raven, Anvil, Megadeth, Manowar, White Lion, Helix, Talas, Motorhead, Girlschool, Metal Church, Tygers of Pan Tang, and Slayer among many others, breaking and expanding their notoriety on the east coast. Kayne is considered an influence by many younger local rock/metal DJs, and is an early New York VJ influence, one of the first to meld horror films with heavy metal music on the big video screen at L'Amour.
With a career spanning 45 years, including live performances stretching across 136 venues, spinning on the same bill supporting bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Iron Maiden, Rob Halford, Anvil, Raven, Twisted Sister, Biohazard, Type O Negative, Lacuna Coil, Kiss, Ace Frehley, Exodus, Kix, Queensryche, Warrant, Bullet Boys, Overkill, Ratt, Warrior Soul, King's X, Winery Dogs, Winger, Stryper, Life of Agony, Manowar, White Lion, Motorhead, Mayhem, Dark Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Decapitated, and hundreds more, DJ Alex Kayne continues working the U.S. Eastern Seaboard club and concert venue scene, where he is highly regarded and respected among rock and heavy metal DJs. Kayne continues to keep the spirit of L'Amour alive and keeps the metal fires burning, spinning metal to the masses, breaking new bands as well as honoring rock and metal's old guard.
Recent live appearances include The Jones Beach Ampitheatre, The Stone Pony, The Gramercy Theatre, Stage 48, B.B. King's Blues Club, Sony Hall, Irving Plaza, Terminal 5, and The Palladium Times Square.
DJ Alex Kayne is a music connoisseur on a continuing mission to keep L'Amour and Heavy Metal alive and kickin', and to bring back respect and recognition to an endangered species - the Rock/Metal Club DJ.
