| This is the official Shark Island myspace page for the promotion of the reunited Shark Island band, as requested by the record company, Manifest Music and as supported by the current band members. Shark Island was a rock band from the Los Angeles area that played heavily during the '80s. From Shark Island's entry in wikipedia: The band was officially started in 1979 by singer Richard Black and guitarist Spencer Sercombe, with the name Sharks. Black and Sercombe had met in high school and were playing together for some time. The band changed its line-up frequently during their first years, and released an independent album called Altar Ego in 1982. During these years the band turned into one of the hottest live bands from the L.A. scene. In 1985 they changed their name to Shark Island and released another independent album titled S'cool Buss the next year. Following in the tradition of bands like Van Halen, Motley Crue and other LA bands, Shark Island was also the house band at the world famous Gazzaris on the Sunset Strip. Bill Gazzari even helped produce their first single, a cover of the Frank Sinatra song "New York, New York". Despite being dubbed as one of the best rock bands of the scene, the band failed to get a record deal. Supposedly they were signed by A&M but dropped later, only to be picked by Epic. During these times, the line-up continued to shift with drummer Walt Woodward leaving to join The Scream, and on-and-off guitarist K.K. Martin definitely parting ways with them due to "artistic differences". Bassist Chris Heilmann and drummer Greg Ellis joined in 1989 to record and release the band's only official album titled Law of the Order. After that, the band just vanished from the scene, with most of its members joining other projects. Apparently there were some unreleased songs recorded sometime in the late 80s or early 90s, but nothing else was released. In 1989 Shark Island's "Dangerous" and "Father Time" were both featured in the movie Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, and were released on the soundtrack album. In 2006 Shark Island released "Gathering of the Faithful" 13 songs of true Shark Island magic. Richard Black (Vocals) , Spencer Sercombe (Guitar) and Chris Heilmann (Bass) were joined on by Glen Sobel (Drums).
