 INFO Though they never found widespread success, the London-based quintet
Girl provided a tenuous link between the '70s glam movement and its
heavier but no less sleazy late-'80s counterpart. Their brief existence
and uneven output notwithstanding, Girl are now best remembered as the
starting point for a pair of illustrious musicians who would go on to
greater fame and fortune with other acts.

Sheer Greed
Girl were formed in 1979 by vocalist Philip Lewis, guitarists Phil Collen
and Gerry Laffy, bassist Simon Laffy, and drummer Dave Gaynor. Dressed
in sharp clothes, covered in makeup, and boldly announcing they wanted
to be England's answer to the New York Dolls, the bandmembers were a bit
of an oddity at a time when dirty punk was giving way to even dirtier
heavy metal (the New Wave of British Heavy Metal was about to take off).
As it happened, though, their counterintuitive image and direction were
exactly what they needed to get themselves noticed, and a videotaped
performance would get them signed by Jet Records (home to Ozzy Osbourne
and ELO). A pair of singles preceded their enthusiastic but uneven first
album, Sheer Greed, which was released in January 1980, climbed to a
respectable number 33 on the U.K. charts, and found even greater success
in Japan (as one would expect).

Wasted Youth
A U.K. tour supporting UFO followed, but Girl's live show needed work and
they were regularly victimized by a less than sympathetic press,
already growing tired of the band's novelty aspect. A new drummer with
an improbable name, Pete Barnacle (ex-Gillan), replaced Gaynor prior to
the recording of Girl's belated second album, 1982's Wasted Youth, by
which time the band's reputation was in the crapper and its forward
momentum all but spent. A Japanese tour only delayed the inevitable, and
Girl finally disintegrated when Collen joined Def Leppard later that
year. Gerry Laffy would go on to a barely public solo career and, after
short stints in the London Cowboys and Airrace, Philip Lewis finally hit
it big as frontman of California sleaze kings L.A. Guns.
