Formed in Los Angeles in 1976, this power pop band were heavily influenced by British glam bands, which attracted their first manager, Kim Fowley, who also produced their sole album Mondo Deco (1976).
In March 1978, the band recorded songs which were released on 10″ and 7″ limited edition vinyl via the band’s fan club. One of those tracks, Pretty Please Me, was played frequently by local KROQ-FM radio DJ Rodney Bingenheimer on his weekly “Rodney On the ROQ” radio show in 1978, but there were no records available to sell.
The song was later covered and officially released by both Redd Kross and The Dickies.
The Quick played their final show in April 1978.
Vocalist Danny Wilde and bassist Ian Ainsworth formed Great Buildings and released one LP on Columbia Records. Wilde later partnered with Phil Solem as The Rembrandts, who found international success with I’ll Be There For You, which was used as the theme song for the TV show Friends.
