Girl were an English glam rock band, whose lead vocalist was Phil Lewis, who later sang for L.A. Guns, Torme, Filthy Lucre, The Liberators, New Torpedos and several other bands. Phil Collen, who later joined Def Leppard, was one of Girl's guitarists. Gerry Laffy, now contactable at http://www.uniquemodernart.co.uk/, was the other guitarist in the band. Girl recorded several albums including Sheer Greed, Wasted Youth, and Killing Time. Sheer Greed is also the name of a band Gerry Laffy played in after Girl. Gerry Laffy's brother Simon Laffy was Girl's bassist on their albums, though Mark Megary played for the band briefly before then. Girl went through several drummers, including Dave Gaynor and Pete Barnacle.
