Class Action!
Class Action is my new favorite band of all time! The great mix of Michael Knight and Stevie make for a great sound. With K.I.T.T as their mixer they turned out some really great hits and were on the cutting edge of music, some of the first musicians to use the digital format for their music. I know they won't be considered in anyone's top bands of the 80's but with Michael Knight's performances in Australia and Stevie's career with the band before Knight's arrival they were able to merge into that beautiful, stereotypical 80's pop rock sound. What really sets them apart is their explosive moves on stage. Their moves infuriated gun toting thugs, but luckily the sound man, K.I.T.T, was able to know when the gig was up and shut down the show before the ultraconservative rioted and then smuggled drugs. Their personal body guard, who failed to protect Knight's predecessor, took care of the thugs, but that cost Class Action their career. Stevie left to form a solo project and Michael returned to the foundation. Alas, one of the greatest bands of the 80's is lost to us because of the NRA and lack of handgun control. Luckily the DEA was their to seize the drugs though, thanks to the quick thinking action of Class Action!
