PRETTY BOY FLOYD
1989 - Leather Boyz With Electric Toyz.
way more Helter Skelter.

October 5, 1989 - 2024: 35 years of: Leather Boyz With Electric Toyz.

A little louder now.

Sunset Strip's last call ...and it's a big one. Following a long string of lipstick attitude and rocknroll all nite shananigans, these PRETTY BOY FLOYDs would blow one final kiss on this decadent decade.

A major-league statement is set, as these "Leather Boyz With Electric Toyz" yells out screaming murder. Hard and unashamed, the fury gets into overdrive with "Rock And Roll Outlaws" and the show-me don't tell-me kink of "Your Mama Won't Know".

The weekend is finally upon us, as the next "48 Hours" shall be a glorious trek and West-Hollywood gets another colorful anthem in the MTV-single for the dusk 'til dawn "Rock & Roll (Is Gonna Set The Night On Fire)". Still sweet-hearts at the core, they propose the "I Wanna Be With You" powerballad, while MÖTLEY's rare bonus "Toast Of The Town" reprise is a cool addition.

Not only the rowdiest but the prettiest, filled with endless parties all fueled by the hardest rock available: this is the 80s. Sadly by 1990, the glam-scene was surrounded on all four-corners and the boys didn't stood a chance. This new early decade was cock-rock shock pop hostile.

Against Seattle and label changes, the dormant PRETTY BOY FLOYD would later release new material with 1998's A Tale Of Sex, Designer Drugs And The Death Of Rock N' Roll MCD.

RIP Vinnie Chas (1963-2010)
