History:
The D'Molls are an often-forgoten glam band that was able to change from radio friendly pop rock to pure sleaze in the blink of an eye.
  Chicago, Illinois was where Desi Rexx (vocals/guitar, formerly of St. Valentine), S.S. Priest (guitar), Lizzy Valentine (bass) and Billy Dior (drums, who had played with C.C. DeVille in a couple of L.A. bands, one of them being the Screamin' Mimi's which played an early version of what would be Poison's "Talk Dirty To Me") formed The Chicago Dolls, which would quickly morph into the D'Molls. In 1985 the group decided to relocate to Los Angeles in the hopes of securing a recording contract. However Priest was still under contract with his other band Diamond Rexx, and was forced to stay behind. Within 48 hours Sean Freehill was named the new guitarist and off they went to the bright lights of L.A.
  On Halloween of 1986 the D'Molls singed a contract with Atlantic records and began work on the debut album. With the album almost complete, Priest left Diamond Rexx and flew to L.A. to rejoin his old cohorts. The video for "777" received some airplay on MTV but the album failed to sell in huge quantities. Tension arose over the band's choice of personal management, and even resulted in fistfights during pre-production of Warped. With a new album to promote Rexx unleashed a bombshell; that he was leaving the group in favor of a job playing guitar for David Lee Roth. Shortly after that announcement the band broke-up (ironically, Rexx's new gig lasted a mere eight weeks).
  Priest returned to Diamond Rexx and Dior started writing novels under his real name of Billy McCarthy. A posthumous third album was released in 1997, but the chances of a full-blown D'Molls reunion are slim.
