The caption for the YouTube video emphasizes the band’s compelling journey: “Originally hailing from Orlando, Florida, Lypswitch made the bold move to Hollywood in April 1988. The band vigorously established their presence in the vibrant Strip scene, rocking iconic venues such as the Whisky, Gazzarris, The Roxy, and The Troubadour. They frequently shared the stage with contemporary rivals including popular acts like Taz, Scratch, Liquor Sweet, Blackboard Jungle, Funhouse, as well as Bang Tango and Love/Hate, both of whom achieved significant success in the music industry.
This fierce competition was complemented by substantial media coverage from renowned L.A. publications such as BAM, Rock City News, and Screamer, coupled with coveted airplay on the legendary KNAC Pure Rock 105.5FM for their debut single, “Rattlesnake Skin,” in the late ’80s. During this period, Lypswitch embraced traditional L.A. band practices, aggressively promoting their brand through flyers, personal outreach to their mailing list, and newsletters to pen pals organized through Metal Edge Magazine. These efforts contributed significantly to elevating the band’s profile across the country and even reaching international audiences.
