In 1979, JOHNNY THUNDERS, renowned Heartbreakers and New York Dolls guitarist, teamed up with WAYNE KRAMER, also legendary guitarist of Detroits seminal MC5, to form GANG WAR, an alliance that lasted the best part of a year.
Johnny had just released his So Alone album, and Wayne was not long out of jail ager serving two of four years for a coke bust.

Although Gang War released no records and were without a label at the dme they were an underground act in retrospect the collaboradon is looked on as a rock fantasy supergroup.
These live Toronto, Boston & New York recordings bear tesdmony to this unique partnership between two celebrated rock guitar icons.
