MORE ON THE ARTIST & RELEASE:

The Runaways were an all-female teenage American band that recorded and performed in the second half of the 1970s. The band released four studio albums and one live 

set during its run. Among their best-known songs are "", "", "" and a cover version of ’s "". Never a 

major success in the United States, the Runaways became a sensation overseas, especially in Japan, thanks to the hit single "Cherry Bomb".

History

Early years

The Runaways were formed in late 1975 by drummer and guitarist after they had both introduced themselves to producer , who gave Jett's phone number to West. The two met on their own at West's home and later called Fowley to let him hear the outcome. Fowley then helped the girls find other members. Two decades later he said, "I didn't put the Runaways together, I had an idea, they had ideas, we all met, there was combustion and out of five different versions of that group came the five girls who were the ones that people liked."

Starting as a power trio with singer/bassist , the Runaways began the party and club circuit around . They soon added lead guitarist , who had originally auditioned for the bass spot; Jett switched to rhythm guitar. Steele was fired from the group, replaced by local bassist Peggy Foster, who left after just one month. Lead singer was found and recruited in a local teen nightclub called the Sugar Shack, followed by (who had originally auditioned for the lead guitar spot) on bass.

Fame

The Runaways were signed to in 1976 and their debut album, , was released shortly after. The band toured the U.S. and played numerous sold-out shows. Their opening shows included headlining acts such as , , , and . The documentary , directed by former Runaway bassist revealed each girl patterned herself after an idol: Currie on , Jett on , Ford a cross between and , West on , and Fox on .

Their second album, , was released in 1977, and the band began a world tour. The Runaways quickly became lumped in with the growing punk rock movement. The band (already fixtures on the West Coast punk scene) formed alliances with mostly male punk bands such as the and (via New York City's ) as well as the British punk scene by hanging out with the likes of , and the .

In the summer of 1977, their booking agent sent the group to Japan, where they played a string of sold-out shows. The Runaways were the number four imported music act in Japan at the time, behind , and in album sales and popularity. They were unprepared for the onslaught of fans that greeted them at the airport. Jett later described the mass hysteria as "like ". While in Japan, the Runaways had their own TV special, did numerous television appearances and released the album , which went gold. Also in Japan, Fox left the band shortly before the group was scheduled to appear at the 1977 . She told the Telegraph her relationship with the band deteriorated after Fowley raped her in front of a roomful of people. Jett temporarily took over bass duties. When the group returned home, they replaced Fox with Vicki Blue.

Currie then left the group after a blow-up with Ford in the fall of 1977. Jett, who had previously shared vocals with Currie, took over lead vocals full-time. The band released their fourth album, Waitin' for the Night, and started a world tour with their friends the Ramones. Currie released a solo LP, Beauty's Only Skin Deep, produced by Fowley, and began a separate U.S. tour, which included her identical twin sister Marie. Mercury Records chose not to release Currie's album in the U.S., although it was available as a pricey import via France. In 1980, billed as Cherie and Marie Currie, the sisters released an album for Capitol, , produced by Jai Winding. Featured on the album was , who later married . Cherie and Marie's single "" peaked at number 95 on U.S. charts.

Dissolution

Due to disagreements over money and the management of the band, the Runaways and Kim Fowley parted ways in 1977. The group quickly hired new management, Toby Mamis, who also worked for and . When the group split with Fowley, they also parted with their record label Mercury/Polygram, to which their deal was tied. In the Edgeplay documentary, members of the group (especially Fox and Currie) as well as the parents of Currie and West, have accused Fowley, and others assigned to look after the band, of broken promises as to schooling and other care, using divide and conquer tactics to keep control of the band, along with the verbal taunting of band members. The band reportedly spent much time enjoying the excesses of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle during this time. They partnered with producer John Alcock, after Jett's future partner turned down the job, to record their last album .

Blue left the group due to medical problems and was briefly replaced by Laurie McAllister in November 1978. Laurie McAllister was referred to the band by her neighbor, Duane Hitchings, who played keyboards on And Now... The Runaways. Before joining the Runaways, McAllister played with Baby Roulette and the Rave Ons, who had one song released on a Kim Fowley compilation LP called Vampires From Outer Space. McAllister appeared onstage with the Runaways at their final shows in California during the last weeks of December 1978 and she quit soon after in January 1979.

Disagreement between band members included the musical style; Joan Jett wanted the band to take a musical change, shifting towards / while Lita Ford and wanted to continue playing /. Neither would accept the other's point of view. Finally, the band played their last concert on New Year's Eve 1978 at the near San Francisco and officially broke up in April 1979. 

Waitin' for the Night is the third by American band . It was originally released in October 1977, on the label . This is the first 

album to feature the band as a quartet, as rhythm guitarist took over lead vocals in the wake of the departure of for a solo career and replaced 

on bass. Though it failed to chart in the US, it was successful in Europe. The album entered at No. 34 on the , and the lead single 'School Days' 

peaked at No. 29 in .
