Heavy Metal Kids

The Heavy Metal Kids were formed in 1973 by the merger of two previous bands: Heaven and Biggles. They took their name from a gang of street kids featured in a novel by legendary beat generation writer William Burroughs. The initial, pre-recording line-up consisted of Mickey Waller (Guitar), Ronnie Thomas (Bass and Vocals), Gary Holton (Lead Vocals), Keith Boyce (Drums) and Barry Paul (Guitar). Barry left the band in October 1973 to join Flash and Danny Peyronel (Keyboards and Vocals) was asked to join.
