In the early 1990s, prior to joining L.A. Guns, Van Dahl was the singer in another Los Angeles band – the glam metal band Cherry St.. At this time, Van Dahl went by the stage name Roxy Dahl. He left Cherry St. in 1991 to form a new band, Boneyard. This group recorded a four-track demo, but never released a full album. So, in 1993, Van Dahl rejoined Cherry St., bringing Boneyard bassist "Redd" Rosell with him. That year, Cherry St. released the album Squeeze It Dry on JRS Records.
In 1995, Van Dahl was recruited to be the singer for L.A. Guns. He sang on their 1996 album American Hardcore. Van Dahl also sang on the subsequent tour, but was let go from the band in 1997. After this, he formed The Vow with his former Boneyard compatriots Pauly Alvarez and Bobby Holder.
In 1999, he joined a short-lived incarnation of Jizzy Pearl's band Love/Hate as a bassist, but the project did not last the year as Pearl subsequently joined Ratt. Next, Van Dahl formed a band with former Kid Rock guitarist Kenny Olson. The band, named Pack of Wolves, also featured Adam Kurry (former Legs Diamond bassist) who Van Dahl had played with in The Vow.
In 2005, Van Dahl moved to Austin, Texas and hooked up with former Cherry St. guitarist Taz to form a new band, Black Beauties.
Chris has a nephew Josh Tomalia, a multiple winner on the Michigan Amateur Golf Tour, one of the largest amateur golf tours in the country. Josh had a top-10 finish during the 2013 Golfweek National Championships held on Hilton Head Island, SC. The 2015 season saw Tomalia string together his most consistent season to date, culminating in a 2nd-place finish in the season long points race, a system similar to the FedEx Cup points system on the PGA Tour. Chris has another nephew Matt Tomalia who is the lead singer of a screamo band called Outcasts, Matt is looking for a career in the future of being a pilot and a young actor.
Chris currently sings in Huntington Beach-based Aerosmith tribute band Aeromyth, and was the first singer for Las Vegas-based band The Jimmy Crespo Project. Crespo, himself a former member of Aerosmith, sometimes plays with Van Dahl in Aeromyth. He also plays Steven Tyler in the Legends in Concert show in Las Vegas.
