streetwalkers

streetwalkers were an english rock band formed in late 1973 by two former members of family , vocalist roger chapman and guitarist john `` charlie '' whitney .
they were a five piece band which evolved from the chapman , whitney band .
the band was managed by michael alphandary and harvey goldsmith and were best known for their live performances and their album red card -lrb- 1976 -rrb- .
by 1977 their potential to become more important in uk rock history was diminished by changing musical taste , due to the growing influence of punk rock and new wave music on european culture .
the band had success in usa and europe , particularly germany .
