angel (band)

Angel were a glam rock, heavy metal, and progressive rock band from New York, formed in the mid-70s. They were discovered by Kiss bass player Gene Simmons performing at a nightclub and were signed to Kiss' record label Casablanca. Their image of dressing in all white was a deliberate contrast to Kiss, who wore black. Sometimes cited as the band that invented hair metal, Angel sported an androgynous image and elaborate stage sets. They were slammed by rock critics, and Frank Zappa ridiculed the all-male band's female appearance in the song "Punky's Whips." Angel never achieved mass commercial success but acquired a following as a cult band. Angel officially disbanded in 1980. Angel's keyboardist Greg Giuffria later had modest success as the leader of the band Giuffria during the 1980s.
