London-based Girl was a UK glam band whose signing, rumour had it, was based on a video. Even though Simon was Gerry's brother, he had joined the band a year after the band's formation. Despite some Japanese success and a change of image the band was soon history with Collen joining Def Leppard after refusing an offer from Iron Maiden.
The band had opened for Kiss, Ozzy Osbourne, ZZ Top and UFO. Lewis fronted more London bands before departing for the USA where he garnered some success with L.A. Guns. Gerry went into the film business.
Summer of 2001 saw the release of two Girl live albums. One was a UK recording while the other was recorded in Japan. The latter features drummer Bryson Graham who was a member between the studio albums. Barnacle, who played with Yngwie Malmsteen on the Eclipse tour, was last reported as living in Japan.
