English rock band, The Dogs D'Amour, was formed in 1983. The original lineup included vocalist Ned Christie, guitarists Tyla and Nick Halls, bassist Karl Watson, and drummer Bam. Initially known as Bordello Boys, the group began performing extensively and released some early recordings before Ned Christie departed due to musical differences with Tyla. Tyla then took over vocal duties, and the band recorded their debut album The State We're In, which was later reissued. The Dogs D'Amour's breakthrough came with the release of In The Dynamite Jet Saloon in 1988, featuring notable tracks like "Billy Two Rivers" and "How Come It Never Rains". Their subsequent albums included Errol Flynn (1989), which was later re-released as King of The Thieves, and featured hits such as "Satellite Kid"; and "Victims Of Success" (1990). The band's music, heavily influenced by the writings of Charles Bukowski, often explored themes of alcoholism, lost love, and the rock 'n' roll lifestyle. Throughout their career, The Dogs D'Amour were known for their energetic live performances and a discography that blended elements of punk, hard rock, and classic rock influences.
