I have been listening to them here lately on XM radio hair nation. They are pretty good sounds like Whitesnake. Are these guys really from Baton Rouge?

About 20 years ago I was at that used cd shop by Plantation Trace and I saw a copy of their album Lights Out on the Playground, and if I had money to blow I would have bought it just for kicks. They're on Apple Music, so I'm gonna give it a whirl either tonight or tomorrow. They're from Louisiana according to Apple, but that's as specific as it says.

I remember they played the Texas Club years ago and explained the name to the audience. They claimed at the time to be more based in Lafayette, or at least a primary band member was from there. He said they liked the name Baton Rouge because if they really wanted to party big time they would come here to go out. So he associated the name with wild times and kicking up one's heels. I remember thinking "Hm. You know New Orleans is just another hour down the road". Oh well.
