Pretty Boy Floyd (Canadian)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pretty Boy Floyd were a Canadian glam metal band.

[edit] History

They released an EP and an LP, both named Bullets & Lipstik. They were most successful in the United Kingdom, where Bullets & Lipstik was a Top 10 hit on the indie charts in 1989.

This band should not be confused with the American band of the same name, who are also a hair metal band.

Singer/Songwriter and founder Tommy Floyd later went on to launch the cutting edge music management company Outlaw Entertainment International, working with members of Salty Dog, Dangerous Toys and Celtic Frost. Tommy's label Outlaw Recordings would also aid former PBF guitarist Pete Parker in the launching his blues based trio Billy Butcher to a global audience.

Guitarist Pete Parker was later in the band Billy Butcher, in which he sang lead vocals, as well as playing guitar. Billy Butcher released the album Penny Dreadful. More info on Billy Butcher can be found at http://www.billybutcher.com.

Drummer Sandy Hazard was later in the band Grandma Moses, which released the album Too Little Too Late. Hazard is now in the popular cult Pop Punk band MCRACKINS found at http://www.myspace.com/themcrackins
