Biography

There are multiple artists with this name
1. A hard rock band from Hollywood, California
2. A Punk 77 band from London
3. An R&B artist from Brooklyn, New York
4. An R&B artist from Los Angeles, California
5. A pop singer from Chicago, Illinois

1. London is a glam metal/hard rock band, based in Hollywood, California. The band is perhaps most notable for featuring members that would go on to play in more famous bands such as Mötley Crüe, Guns N’ Roses, W.A.S.P. and Cinderella.

London was formed in 1978 by Lizzie Grey and Nikki Sixx. The two met when Sixx was recruited to play bass for Sister, the band that Grey was in with Blackie Lawless. This line-up did not last long and soon Grey and Sixx left to form London. The two recruited a local drummer named Dane Rage.
London was briefly joined by Michael White as the vocalist, who bore a resemblance, both in voice and image, to Robert Plant. After disagreements with the band, White left to focus on his own band, The White.

2. London were a four piece punk band formed in London in 1976 and were best known for their wild stage act. The original line-up was Riff Regan (Vocals), Steve Voice (Bass), Jon Moss (Drums) and Dave Wight (Guitar). They were managed by Simon Napier-Bell and recorded two singles, a 4 track EP and an album for MCA Records in 1977. Most of their songs were written by Riff Regan (including the first two singles Everyone’s a Winner and Summer of Love) or by Riff Regan and Steve Voice. All their records were produced by Napier-Bell at the IBC Studios in London.

    I would never have discovered the album Animal Games if London did not reform and release the Reboot CD. Great stuff!

    playa del rock is actually trumps all of their other work, somehow. the 90's had the best glam.

    i bought the LP The Metal Years recorded in '89 and released in 2008 and it is good to. Russian Winter and Miss You is better on that LP. The rest of the songs later recorded on Playa Del Rock are better on that album but The Metal Years is still something i would recommend. Buy it....NOW!

    I bought the Playa Del Rock LP last week and it suprised me. It wasn't as good as expected.

    You're right. They weren't ordinary because, for the most part, they weren't watered-down hard rock like most glam bands. London covered metal and hard rock.

    this band is fuckin great. it contained raw and rough energy, so it was not-ordinary glam band, cause they had their own style

    They did three awesome albums and The Metal Years is great demos of Playa Del Rock as well. London, W.A.S.P. and Sleeze Beez are my favorite glam bands.
