None of County's albums were ever released in her native country of the United States, except for three songs on the very early punk compilation, Max's Kansas City. They were supported by The Police during their 1977 tour of Holland, and brought Henry Padovani in on rhythm guitar after he was booted from the group.[1] Greg Van Cook left the band and was replaced by Elliot Michaels. After two albums with this new lineup, Storm the Gates of Heaven and Things Your Mother Never Told You, Wayne County & the Electric Chairs split in two, with Elliot Michaels following County in his solo career. Padovani, Haller, and Johnson recorded a final single, "So Many Ways", as simply The Electric Chairs, before management problems forced them to disband completely.[2] During this period, Padovani and Haller took turns on lead vocals.

The Dead Boys

The Dead Boys était un groupe punk rock formé à Cleveland, Ohio, États-Unis en 1975.

C'est Joey Ramone qui les invite, leur trouve un appartement et les introduit dans le célèbre CBGB, le quartier général de la scène punk new-yorkaise, tenu par le patron, Hilly Kristal[1]. L'existence des Dead Boys fut éphémère : les pressions effectuées par la compagnie de disques Sire Records pour que le groupe change son allure et son style musical contribuèrent à la décision de saborder le groupe en 1979, après deux albums à peine.
