History:
London were a sleazy glam rock band that became legends on the Sunset Strip, but failed to generate it into international success. Their influences ranged from the New York Dolls, Alice Cooper, Slade etc., and helped pave the way for bands such as Ratt and Faster Pussycat.
  Formed in Los Angeles by Lizzie Grey (guitar) and Nikki Sixx (bass) after they got kicked out of Blackie Lawless' Sister project. The duo teamed up with Dane Rage (drums), Jon St. John (keyboards) and Henri Valentine (vocals), who was promptly replaced with ex-Mott The Hoople singer Nigel Benjamin. It wasn't long before Sixx and Benjamin began feuding, so Benjamin was kicked out of the band. After writing some demos Sixx himself departed to form the legendary Motley Crue, leaving Grey on his own to rebuild the band.
  By the time they were ready to record the debut album the band consisted of Nadir D'Priest (vocals), Brian West (bass), Fred Coury (drums) and Peter Szucs (keyboards). The album, Non-Stop Rock failed commercially and Coury (to join platinum rockers Cinderella) and Szucs departed.
  Don't Cry Wolf featured new drummer Wailin' J. Morgan and was an excellent hard rock album. However it still failed to sell. Even the band's appearance in the film The Decline of Western Civilization: The Metal Years failed to gather them much exposure, and founder Grey decided to leave to form Ultra Pop (which would later become Spiders & Snakes). D'Priest and West gave the band one more shot with Sean Lewis (guitar), Krigger (drums) and Vince Gilbert (keyboards). Playa Del Rock was released as both a London and D'Priest album, but it would be the last time London existed.
