Glam rock (also known as glitter rock) is a style of rock and pop music that developed in the United Kingdom in the early 1970s, which was performed by singers and musicians who wore outrageous clothes, makeup and hairstyles, particularly platform-soled boots and glitter. The flamboyant costumes and visual styles of glam performers were often camp or androgynous, and have been connected with new views of gender roles.
The first real band he fronted was Treason. It was the tail end of the NWOBHM and Treason were a metal band in the vein of Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, etc. After eventually disbanding Treason Jaimz went on to form the proto glam band Crash KO taking Treason drummer Stephen “Ace” Finchum with him.
Luke Luv, founder of Frenchee, started the band back in 1983.
The 1st singer was Tony Harnell who eventually left Frenchee to join Rock band TNT. Luke wanted a clean slate and start a new chapter of Frenchee, so he started auditioning new band members. First he started with the bass player situation. Two bass players answered the ad together they were friends from Queens NY and wanted to come down to audition together. They were Kelly Nickels & Punky Lazar.

Germany’s Syzzy Roxx were formerly known as Gamblin’ Crew and describe their sound as ‘poser rock’. My first thought is that these guys are kind of amusing. For a start they have a rather, errmm, unusual look (for want of a better description) and whether intentional or not, the bio on their official site is quite funny. For example part of what they say about their growth or transformation from Gamblin’ Crew to Syzzy Roxx goes like this, “the Crew was yet accused of just honouring the numerous variations of penetration, Syzzy Roxx go further than that. Political topics are being examined, such as the hostage-taking by full bosomed aliens” and so forth. Maybe it’s their sense of humor or maybe something got lost in translation. Either way, it’s all sounds quite odd but you can’t help but laugh.
From the Nordic contemplative Oldenburg come SYZZY Roxx, which as GAMBLIN’ CREW were on the road by 2005 and now have their second album under a new banner at the start. And I had not heard the disc thousand times, I would be sure to have inserted a classic from the hairspray era.
