Brilliant London-based glam-rock band formed in 1973 but split by the following year after just one eponymous album and some heavy touring. Scored a minor international hit with the single «Motorcycle Dream». Alice Springs started out life as Sandra Alfred, a British singer and actress who debuted as an actress on film in an uncredited role in The Belles of St Trinian’s (1954). She went on to small roles in other British films and television shows. In the 1960s, she took on the stage name Sandra Barry and was signed to Decca Records. She was backed by guitar band The Boys (who would later go on to become cult mod band The Action), sometimes credited as Sandra Barry and The Boyfriends. Backed by The Boys, Barry released the single «Really Gonna Shake» in 1964. She subsequently signed with Pye Records, and released a number of singles backed by The Jet Blacks, who included future Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones, but failed to score any hits. In 1973, she re-emerged as Alice Spring, fronting the pub rock act Slack Alice. Later in the decade, she fronted post punk band Darling, who released an album and a number of singles in 1979.
