Formed in 1976, the band conceived their moniker only to later learn of a band from New York City already known as The Godz. An “alleged” monetary settlement allowed them to keep their name. The Godz did not yet have a recording contract when they hit the road with Kiss alongside Cheap Trick in 1977. The following year, the band released its first, eponymous, album on Millennium Records. In addition to being on the Kiss Love Gun Tour, they played on what was billed the ‘Heaven and Hell’ Tour by embarking on the road with Angel.
