Danish hard rock band
the Pretty Maids was formed in 1981 by singer
Ronnie Atkins and guitarist
Ken Hammer; adding guitarist
Pete Collins, bassist
John Darrow and drummer
Phil More, the group recorded a demo which earned them a contract with the British label Bullet, resulting in the 1983 release of their self-titled debut EP. That same year
the Pretty Maids supported
Black Sabbath on their tour of Scandinavia, and after replacing
Collins with guitarist
Ricky Hansson and
Darrow with bassist
Allan Delong, the band entered the studio to record their first LP for new label CBS, 1984's Red, Hot and Heavy.
Hansson's tenure proved short-lived, however, and
Collinsreturned to the line-up for a tour lasting through 1985; two years later,
the Pretty Maids resurfaced with Future World. While recording the follow-up, drummer
More was severely injured in a car crash, and the resulting LP Jump the Gun did not appear until 1990; by the end of the year a series of defections reduced the roster to the original duo of
Atkins and
Hammer, who recruited bassist
Kenn Jackson and drummer
Michael Fast to cut 1992's
Sin-Decade, scoring a major hit in Europe and Japan with the single "Please Don't Leave Me." An acoustic effort, Stripped, appeared in 1993, followed a year later by Scream; in 1995,
the Pretty Maids also issued their first official live record, Screamin' Live. Subsequent releases include 1997's Spooked and 1999's Anything Worth Doing Is Worth Overdoing.
