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.
