Slik Toxik was a Canadian glam metal/hard rock band formed in 1988 in Toronto. Slik Toxik was formed from several different members of Toronto's hard rock/glam metal scene in the late 1980s. Glam metal band Virgin Angel was made up of singer/guitarist Nick Walsh, guitarist Rob Bruce, rhythm guitarist Kevin Gale, bassist Frank Currell, and drummer Alex Munro. Hard rock band Cardinal Sin contained singer/guitarist/keyboardist Dave Ferguson, bassis ... t Pat Howarth, drummer Steve Ferguson, and a cast of rotating guitarists. In 1986, the Canadian rock journalist Drew Masters convinced Virgin Angel to change their name, and they became Portrait. Over time, bassist Frank Currell left the band and was replaced by Dave Mercel. The band agreed to change their name again, and Slik Toxik was born. Pat Howarth soon replaced Mercel on bass and Neal Busby replaced Alex Munro on drums, forming the classic Slik Toxik lineup.See more [+]
