Formed in early 1989 by former members of Lazarus and Mad Hatter, D.T. Boyz was among the best known bands of the Boston club circuit in the late 1980's and early 1990's. They projected an androgynous Glam Rock image (ala Poison, Pretty Boy Floyd, Hanoi Rocks, etc.) complete with makeup and jewelry, cheesy stage names, dramatic hair coloring, tattoos, peircings, and leather clothing making them more closely resemble an act from Los Angeles than the more conservative Boston, MA. Those in attendance of a D.T. Boyz live show were often witness to some bizarre antics (usually substance related) during the performance. The fact that they wrote catchy, melodic songs featuring lots of hooks, vocal harmonies, and virtuoso guitar solos was often overshadowed by their image, checkered reputation for their various habits, and frequent on-stage intoxication. One of the most memorable examples of this was while opening for Blue Oyster Cult at The Channel in Boston's South End. "That crowd of bikers fucking HATED us! They just screamed BLUE OYSTER CULT!! and threw shit at us for our whole set, and that just made us even more obnoxious". - Randy St. James.
