German Metal guide/ TheCorroseum: "Alley Cat originally started as Target in Hamburg back in 1986, by ex-Exit members Detlev Wolff and Andreas Richter, together with Stefan Vermahren and Andreas Richter and recorded their "Long legs high heels" Demo in 1987 still under the Target monicker, but had to change name to Alley Cat in 1988 coz of the belgian band. Frode Garshol from Lightning (Jork) at that time had already replaced Stefan Vermahren on bass and the guys re-released the Demo songs as Alley Cat once again in 1988, while the track "Gonna break your heart" was also used for a national newcomer vinyl sampler and could be either named as one of the highlights on that "Break Out" entitled compilation. The lads either won a local Hamburg newcomer band contest, which isn't much of a surprise, as their glammy US style pounding Metal with good riffing is going easy into everyone's ears. Alley Cat recorded another Demo in 1989 with Matthias Lange (Metalium) on guitar, but split up later due to vocalist Detlev Wolff moving to the USA. Andreas Richter subsequently joined the ex-Thrashers Kilgore.
