In a unique twist, Chriz Van Jaarsveld (guitar) and Jan Koster (drums) managed to talk their way into a record deal before a band (or many songs for that matter) was even formed. In order to start recording a band was thrown together featuring Don Van Spall (guitar), Ed Jongsma (bass) and vocalist Tiger. The debut album [album artist=Sleeze Beez}Look Like Hell[/album] was only released regionally, but the Sleeze Beez were beginning to make people take notice.
During the recording of what would become [album artist=Sleeze Beez}Screwed Blued & Tattooed[/album], front man Tiger was replaced by Andrew Elt and the Sleeze Beez were poised for success. Atlantic records snatched up the group, got the band considerable airplay for the single "Stranger Than Paradise" and had the boys opening for Skid Row. The album reached #115 on Billboard's Top 200 and the future looked bright, but within two years the band had quickly fallen from grace.
The band had another album in the can by the end of 1990, but lack of management and disagreements with the record company saw [album artist=Sleree Beez}Powertool[/album] shelved for almost two full years. Of course by the time the record was finally released bands like Sleeze Beez were becoming extinct thanks to a movement from Seattle. The album sank without a trace and the label quickly cut their loses and dropped the band. A final independent release [album artist=Sleeze Beez}Insanity Beach[/album] and live album, Live In Tokyo, proved to be Sleeze Beez's last gasp, as the group disbanded in 1996. Elt currently plays with an AC/DC tribute band called Action In DC. Rumors of a reunion continue to swirl, so we may not have heard the last from these sleaze merchants yet. Reformed briefly in 2010 before disbanding again in 2011. Screwed:Live! was released in 2010.
