Girl, what an image. If I didn’t know they were really the Runaways with cotton wool and hosepipes shoved down their trousers, I’d say they were a Hannibal And The Head-hunters for the eighties.

Oddly resurrecting an apparently worn out genre and its paraphernalia glam rock GIRL formed in 1979 in the midst of the second wave of punk rock and the beginning of the crossover HM scene (the so called NWOBHM) A possible trait d’union between the 1970s glam scene and its hairdresser focused LA based mid 1980s revival GIRL released their first album Sheer Greed in January 1980 with the clear intention of being the British New York Dolls Besides the obvious use of heavy make up and female clothes to gain the attention of the press GIRL put out an excellent collection of sheer heavy boogie rock’n’roll tunes that probably would have had more success than they did had the timing been right Includes their cover version of Kiss’ Do You Love Me who GIRL opened for at some of Stanley and Simmons’ combos 1980 UK tour dates and features singer Phil Lewis who would later emigrate and become the LA Guns frontman in 1987
