Formed in Hollywood, California

The band was formed in Hollywood, California 1977 by singer John Denney, guitarist, Cliff Roman along with John’s guitarist brother Dix (sons of Hollywood actress Nora Denney ), initially using the band names the Barbies and the Luxurious Adults. Those names were quickly abandoned. While initially trying to distance themselves from the genre name “punk” that was created in New York, ultimately the band, in the words of John Denney, “just kinda became more like this punk ROCK N ROLL type thing and we kinda went with it because the fans wanted it. They wore us down and we just said ‘OK, fine! We’re punk rock, similar to the Ramones. Whatever you say.’” However, Cliff Roman made some early flyers that stated: “Wanted: Punk Rock Drummer.”
