SHYNE 1986-1987

In late 1985, Mike left the group, replaced by Tim (Jeffreys) Wiessman.  Along with this personnel change came a new SHYNE; less "big" vocals, more diverse styles of music and lots more concert dates.

In 1986, we finished our "Master" for the new album.  Heard here for the first time is the finished work that never made it to final pressing due to an untimely departure of Tim who left the band for personal reasons. 

 

In 1986 we were scheduled to play at the World's Fair in Vancouver, Canada, opening for WHAM.  But, without adequate time to prepare another drummer for the gig, we had to cancel and that pretty much was the end of SHYNE.  Randy and Ross continued to write and play music in different settings and with different people and still write and play today.
