| Frustrated
by lack of success, Slaughter & The Dogs had broken up leaving just
Mike Rossi and Zip Bates. Recruiting Phil Rowland ex of Eater
and a young guitarist Billy Duffy (ex Nosebleeds and later to figure in The Cult) they
formed Studio Sweethearts (what a name!) and released an average
sounding single I
Believe /It Isn't Me (DJM
Records 1979).
However with the
single getting nowhere and venues unprepared to book a band with no
history or success, but prepared to book Slaughter & The Dogs, the Sweethearts
ended and a reformed Slaughter with Phil Rowland on drums and Wayne
Barrett back on Vocals reentered the fray. |
