Rusty Anderson The Living Daylights

 

Rusty Anderson had a lot of thoughts about creating his own rock band when he was a member of La Habra Highs class of 1976.

"My friends were all musicians", says Anderson. "If they werent musicians, Id literally force them to become musicians. Id say, "You want to be my friend? Here, play bass".

Such aspiration helped Rusty and some of his friends Dirk VanTatenhove and Myles Crawley to form their first band named Eulogy.

After winning on an amateur competition "Battle of the Bands" Eulogy has attracted the attention of a few Hollywood record labels and among them was famous Arista Records. But Eulogy couldnt impress them and were turned down. After this fail the band was regrouped several times, guys changed their names, but after all Eulogy broke up.

For earning money Rusty began giving guitar lessons at Whittier Music and at the same he began writing his own material.

Later with the help of ex-Eulogy manager Mike Jackobs he formed his new group The Living Daylights. During The Living Daylights existence, Rusty has met David Kahne, who was working as a producer for The Bangles. Kahne hired Anderson to lay down a few Hendrix-inspired reverse guitar tracks on the groups 1985 album, "A Different Light", there was also famous guitar part for "Walk Like An Egyptian".

After Daylights broke up Rusty played in a few groups such as The Andersons and The Animal Logic until he became a member of the band named Ednaswap.
