Diamond Rexx is an outrageous band that came bursting onto the scene amid a flurry
of hair spray and cutting edge glam. Despite the look, their brand of music (similar to a
sleazy version of Alice Cooper mixed with some early Motley Crue) easily separated them
from the majority of pop friendly hair bands that were hitting it big in the 80's. The band was
formed in Chicago, Illinois by vocalist Nasti Habits and guitarist S. St. Lust in mid 1986.
Four short months after their first live show the band got signed to Island records, and with the
addition of bassist Andre and drummer Johnny Cottone they unleashed the debut platter Land Of The Damned.
