"I had the Britny Fox dream as a kid,” swears frontman Dizzy Dean Davidson. "I used to write it on all my schoolbooks, along with Kiss and Slade.” The singer got the name of his future band from an old family coat-of-arms moniker, Brittany Foxx. Dean chopped off a few letters and got to work.

After playing in a number of rock combos in his native Philly/South Jersey stomping ground, Davidson moved to L.A., where he added several more obscure groups to his resume. One of them, World War III, even made a longforgotten indie record.

Meanwhile, in another musical dimension, guitarist Michael Schermerick was doing his thing in a Pennsylvanian band that also featured Tom Keifer and Eric Brittingham—an aggregation which, with the addition of drummer Tony Destra, became the original lineup of Cinderella.
