Heartbreakers, The (2)

Heartbreakers, The (2)

Profile:
Influential 1970s New York punk act formed by Johnny Thunders (guitar, vocals and principle songwriter) and Jerry Nolan (drums) after they quit the New York Dolls, along with Richard Hell (vocals, bass) who had just left Television. The trio became four with the introduction of Walter Lure (vocals, guitar) after a few shows.

In 1976, Hell was either kicked out or left, to be replaced by Billy Rath

Sometimes billed as "Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers" due to Thunder's ever growing notoriety.
