Tyla J. Pallas is an English musician, artist, and poet. He first made a name for himself in the late 80’s with rock n’ roll band The Dogs D’Amour. He has since released a prolific succession of albums and toured the world over as a solo artist. As well as being an accomplished songwriter, Tyla is equally well known for his distinct painting style that has adorned his album covers from the beginning.

The latest chapter in Tyla’s epic tale sees him backed by the all new Tyla’s Dogs D’Amour (AKA The Tyla J. Pallas Band), coming soon to a town near you!

As out of control as rock n’ roll was in the late 80’s, few artists could top the levels of debauchery and excess achieved by England’s own Dogs D’Amour. Led by singer, guitarist, songwriter and poet Tyla, the group’s albums became cult favorites in their homeland and beyond. Originally formed in London in 1983, over the years the band has had various line-ups, the only constant being Tyla. Their 1989 release, A Graveyard of Empty Bottles, reached #16 on the UK chart while the single Satellite Kid reached #26.

The origins of the band can be traced back to The Bordello Boys, a band formed in late 1982 by Tyla. Vocalist Ned Christie (Robert Stoddard), guitarist Nick Halls, bassist Karl Watson and drummer Bam completed the first incarnation. The Dogs D’Amour played around fifty live shows during this era and recorded on two separate sessions. On the strength of the second, the band was signed to a record deal with Kumibeat Records from Finland. However, shortly before the band was scheduled to record their first album, the line-up with the exception of Tyla and Watson left the band. Tyla took over on lead vocals while Dave Kusworth and Paul Hornby were brought in on guitar and drums respectively. Hornby had been a founding member of another London band, The Quireboys earlier that same year. The band released their first single How Do You Fall In Love Again and album The State We’re In in 1984.
The band returned from Finland to England and supported Johnny Thunders who was touring his Que Sera, Sera album at the time. Original Dogs’ drummer Bam came back to replace Hornby, and Jo ‘Dog’ Almeida took over from Kusworth on guitar when he left to form The Jacobites with Nikki Sudden. The Dogs D’Amour then signed a contract with a Japanese label called Watanabe,but did not release any material with them. More changes came during this period when bass guitarist Karl Watson left and was replaced by Mark Duncan. However, Duncan’s stay in the band was only very brief and he was replaced by Swiss bassist Mark Drax for a tour in Paris. A permanent bass guitarist was recruited by 1987. Steve James completed what would become the ‘classic’ line-up of the band. They signed a record deal with China Records in 1988. The band released its second album In The Dynamite Jet Saloon which featured singles The Kid From Kensington, I Don’t Want You To Go and How Come It Never Rains?, all of which reached the UK Singles Chart. The record remains a cult classic and fan favorite to this day.

In 1989 The Dogs released their acoustic mini-LP A Graveyard of Empty Bottles. This album proved to be the highest charting recording of their career, reaching #16 in the UK Albums Chart. During this year, the band toured with Mick Ronson and Ian Hunter. They went on to tour the world and release their Errol Flynn (1989) and Straight??!!’ (1990) albums before disbanding in LA in 1992, somewhat worse for wear. A year later, The Dogs D’Amour reunited with the exception of Jo Dog and so Darrell Bath (The Crybabys) was drafted in. In 1993, the band recorded a new album, …More Unchartered Heights of Disgrace. One of the singles from the album was a cover of the Small Faces song All or Nothing. By 1994 they had broken up again. The final act of this line-up at the time was recording Tyla’s debut solo album The Life And Times Of A Ballad Monger.

In 2000, The Dogs D’Amour reunited for a short time with a line-up of Tyla, Jo, Bam and Share Ross (Vixen) on bass. They released the album Happy Ever After that year, along with a special fan club only release entitled Seconds. They did a tour of Europe and the UK as support for Alice Cooper.

In 2013 The Dogs D’Amour ‘classic’ line-up reunited for a show at The Borderline, London in honor of their long-time friend and former drummer Paul Hornby, who was suffering from cancer. Due to popular demand, they added a second night and some other dates in the UK and Spain. They also recorded and released an EP entitled The Cyber Recordings.
