Boy (1980s band)

History

Boy was founded in Los Angeles in 1981, by ex-members of The Nu Kats, The Motions, The Scooters, and Snapshots.

Freddy Moore of The Nu Kats, Mark McEwen of The Motions and Dave Srb of Snapshots were the founding members. They recruited Bobby Wickland of The Scooters and Bobbyzio Moore of The Nu Kats and began rehearsing.

Bobby Wickland received a call inviting him to join Badfinger and was quickly replaced by John Nyman. A few months later Dave Srb was replaced by Nu Kat Dennis Peters. The line up was set. Although the Boy Horns (Patrick Boone and Norm Cowan) were soon added.

Boy recorded and released 'Next Door' on Radioactive Records in 1983 and contributed several new songs to various film soundtracks.
