Band Members
The original band consisted of Tony Grassano (guitar), Mike (vocals, harp) Clark (bass, keys, flute), Dave (drums, vocals) and Jana (lead vocals, briefly keys). Some of the members went on to form Common Ground. In 1995 the lineup changed to Corey (guitar, vocals), DJ (bass), Dave (drums, vocals) and Jana (lead vocals). After they suddenly left, she played one gig with Gary (guitar), Bill (bass) and Eric (drums). Wet Paint’s most successful lineup began in October 1995 with Mike Fuller (guitar, keys, vocals), Doug Steigerwald (bass, vocals), Slammin’ Sammy (drums) and Jana (vocals, guitar, keys). In December, Nick Chiolo replaced Sammy on drums. This version of Wet Paint morphed into the Janaband, then Girls on Top in 1996.

Venues
We performed at various venues in Vegas including Brittanys, Boomers, Shifty’s, Hob Nob, Blue Moon, Suburban East Lounge, PT’s Pub, USA Cafe, Backstop, Chef Anthony’s Playground, JD’s, Sand Dollar (regular gig), Roadhouse, Time Inn, Mad Dog’s and Englishmen, Jimmy Murphy’s, the Turf Lounge and Arizona Charlie’s. We also played in Laughlin, NV (on the Bullhead City, AZ side) at one of our favorite gigs – “Thunder Across the River” commonly known as the Laughlin River Run – a major motorcycle run with an estimated 20,000 bikers.
