The CYANIDE DOLLS

BIOGRAPHY:

Manic Street Preachers influenced act formed in 1992 by David Gow (drums), Paul Deans (bass), Dav Jones (vocals), Kevin O'Donnell (guitar) & Michael Thom (vocals / guitar). Dav Jones was then thrown out for being "too crap at singing", and Deans left, to be replaced by Gary Miller (bass). The band continued to play until 1995, after which Gow & Miller joined Arab Strap, with Gow later forming Sons & Daughters. Rumour has it that promoter and future Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos once "punched out" one of the band for being "difficult".
Deans, Thom & O'Donnell then formed Pretty Kamikaze.
