Biography
Los Angeles mid 80's Glam band led by ex-ST. VALENTINE man Nigel Itson. The band at one time featured vocalist Michael Arden although he quit to join MON CHERI. Another ex-member was drummer Mikky Kiner, later of ASPHALT BALLET. In 1988 Itson, then on drums, took over lead vocals. Guitarist Kay Vee also operated a side project BAAD MAMMA JAMMA.
Bassist Vince Votell joined ULTRAPOP for their 'Adventures In Fantasy' album. By 1992 Itson had created BILLIONAIRE BOYS CLUB with guitarists Robert Racy and Billy, bassist James Frey and drummer Tony Purvis. Ex-DOLL bassist Michael Hannon also had a spell with RUBY SLIPPERS before helping to found SALTY DOG. Hannon toughened up his sound and image with successive acts DANGEROUS TOYS, HILLJACK and AMERICAN DOG. Michael Arden died in 1994.
