From Wikipedia: Starz was formed out of the ashes of the early 1970s pop band Looking Glass, which had the No. 1 hit single "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" in the summer of 1972...eventually changing their name to Fallen Angels. The band was officially rebranded as Starz.
Kiss manager Bill Aucoin was introduced to STARZ. Aucoin began representing Starz in late 1975, helping them to get signed to Capitol Records in early 1976. Their first major hit single, "Cherry Baby", in the spring of 1977 came from their second album, Violation, produced by Jack Douglas of Aerosmith fame. Douglas produced their first two studio albums: Starz and Violation.
After being dropped by Capitol and manager Aucoin, Starz split up in mid 1979. Despite lack of major commercial success, Starz has created a significant and enduring legacy. Several 1980s glam metal artists, including Poison, Jon Bon Jovi of Bon Jovi, Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe, and Twisted Sister cite Starz as a primary influence.
