After rehearsing and playing a few shows on the Sunset Strip, Pretty Boy Floyd got their big break at MCA Records.

The Canadian group released their debut Bullets and Lipstik the same year, but after a negotiated settlement agreed to surrender use of the name.

Two years later the previously unreleased "Slam Dunk" was released on the Ellen Barkin movie Switch soundtrack.

The band featured former Big Bang Babies guitarist Keri Kelli, Steve Summers (Steven Podwalski), Kristy Majors (Chris Maggiore, Jr.), Keff Ratcliffe and Kari Kane (Cary Ayers).

On March 1, 2008, Majors and Kane joined Summers to play on stage at The Knitting Factory in Hollywood, California.

They set out on the "America Rocks Tour" with Jack Russell's Great White, Faster Pussycat and Lillian Axe on June 15, 2012.

The band debuted at the Cathouse Live 30th Anniversary Festival in Irvine, California, and had a string of shows to follow.

In August 2016, the band parted ways with Tod "T" Burr and brought back Ben Graves on drums.

Drummer Nick "Tricky" Lane was added to the lineup the same year, making his first appearance with the band at Frontiers Rock Festival in Italy.
