“Coventry’s answer to Status Quo!!. 1989 – 1996″
“SHADY DEAL were born in 1989 – 1996, when two workmates Steve Kavanagh and Troy Forest were discussing musical options that lay ahead. Pop deal put other bands in the shade; TROY FOREST is one musician who seems to have been playing forever – and is still going strong.”
