Sensing that there was little chance of launching a successful music career in Ohio, Bators convinced a handful of fellow local musicians (Chrome, guitarist Jimmy Zero, and drummer Johnny Blitz) to relocate to New York City in 1976, resulting in the formation of the Dead Boys; decided to give acting at try, with a bit part in the 1981 John Waters-directed movie, Polyester; a union with ex-Damned guitarist Brian James followed soon after, resulting in the formation of the Lords of the New Church; died on June 4, 1990, in Paris, from injuries sustained after being hit by a car) - http://www.allmusic.com/artist/stiv-bators-mn0000629330/biography
