Skid Row Legend Sebastian Bach Tapped to Headline a Night of Heavy Metal Hits at April’s ‘Parking Lot’ Party.

Get ready to rock as the iconic Sebastian Bach takes center stage at the Rainbow Bar & Grill‘s epic “Party in the Parking Lot” event on April 14! Located on the legendary Sunset Strip, this annual extravaganza promises a night of pure heavy metal magic.

The Rainbow’s semiannual multi-band concerts, hosted in both spring and fall, showcase renowned heavy metal acts and artists. Past lineups have boasted luminaries such as original Guns N’ Roses drummer, Steven Adler, Geoff Tate from Queensryche, the legendary Stephen Pearcy from Ratt, and various other rock icons.

Armed with an arsenal of fist-pumping hard rock anthems, Sebastian Bach is sure to rock the Sunset Strip like never before. Former choir boy Bach’s musical journey eventually led him to front the legendary metal band Skid Row as well as embark on a diverse career starring in Broadway musicals like Jekyll and Hyde and the touring company of Jesus Christ Superstar.

However, it is the hard-rockin’, ass-kickin’ musical assault of Skid Row that put Bach on the music map. Skid Row’s self-titled 1989 debut album is a defining gem in late-Eighties hard rock history, just before the grunge wave reshaped the musical landscape.

Regarded as one of the most stellar debuts in hard rock, the album achieved an impressive five times platinum certification from the RIAA in 1995, marking the shipment of 5,000,000 copies in the U.S. The album also spawned four timeless hit singles—“Youth Gone Wild,” “18 and Life,” “I Remember You,” and “Piece of Me”—which made Skid Row’s debut album an enduring masterpiece in the annals of hard rock history.

Speaking of the Rainbow’s “Party in the Parking Lot,” on the band’s sophomore album, Slave to the Grind, Bach wrote the lyrics for Skid Row’s “Wasted Time” as a tribute to his friend Steven Adler, who headlined Rainbow’s party in 2021.

Skid Row’s historic 1991 album, Slave to the Grind, followed the band’s hits-packed self-titled debut and stormed the Billboard charts after debuting at number one on the Billboard 200. At a time when it was rare for an album—especially a heavy metal album—to open at No. 1, Slave to the Grind set a new bar for debut albums, a feat not seen since Elton John’s Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy claimed the spot in 1975.

By the time Bach left Skid Row over creative differences in 1996, the band’s first three albums featuring Bach had sold over 20 million albums worldwide. Bach continues to rock arenas as a solo artist, recently tearing up Australia with Sunset Strip-launched superstars Guns ‘N Roses, he’s living proof that you can’t kill rock ‘n’ roll!

Brace yourself for an unforgettable night of rock ‘n’ roll hits at the Rainbow Bar & Grill’s “Party in the Parking Lot” on April 14, when Sebastian Bach is sure to cover timeless metal anthems and power ballads like “Youth Gone Wild,” “18 and Life,” “Monkey Business,” and more metal masterpieces.
