Wild Child
is a Los Angeles based act with 20 solid years of performance
in the competitive L.A. Music Scene. Faithfully re-creating a
live Doors Concert on stage. This is not a typical Doors tribute
band! The music is painstakingly reproduced and combined with
the voice, look and essence of Jim Morrison live on stage (performed
by lead singer Dave Brock). Wild Child mirrors the depth, energy
and emotion of The Doors concerts as they were live back in the
late 1960's. The Band also utilizes the same musical instruments
live as The Doors did over 35 years ago. Wild Child performs
internationally, playing to packed venues around the globe.
Front man,
Dave Brock, started his role as the Lizard King by grabbing the
lead in the" Jim Morrison Rock Opera," produced by
the late legends sister, Anna Morrison Graham. Anna personally
selected Brock for the part. From there, he started the band
"Wild Child," whose reputation rapidly spread from
Southern California to remote areas of the world. The Doors keyboardist,
Ray
Manzarek, introduced Wild Child to a packed Los Angeles crowd at the
bands first show at The Whisky a-Go-Go on July 3rd, 1986. Wild
Child broke into the national act venue circuit before any other
tribute act, selling out countless shows from its beginning to
the present. In the late 80s, Brock was under consideration to
play the lead actor in the Oliver Stone movie "The Doors."
Many experts have complimented his stage rendition of Jim Morrison,
some of which are listed on the Press page of this site. Concert goers leave Wild
Child concerts in amazement and disbelief, many of which are
quoted here at Fan
Reviews.
The band relies on stage craft and musicianship to create an
event that people will remember, without corn ball antics and
banter that many tribute bands incorporate.
Two years
ago the band produced "Wild Child - Live In Concert" a 22 song double disc CD set
of songs that The Doors made popular on stage as well as songs
from their last album that they were never able to perform live
with Jim Morrison, due to his unexpected death. Recorded 100%
live, this CD set can be purchased and MP3 clips can be heard
on the Wild
Child live double CD page of this site. Below is what one expert
said about the CD set :
… [Wild Child's live CD] has been in production for over
a year as lead singer David Brock has sought perfection on each
and every song. I honestly think that this recording could get
passed off to even a seasoned collector as being a new unheard
Doors live show from the 1960's. It's the most incredible re-creation
that I have ever heard"
