Artist Biography
by Michael Sutton
The L.A. band
Nancy Boy
has their roots -- stylistically and genetically -- in rock &
roll's past. The group was formed by vocalist Donovan Leitch and
guitarist
Jason Nesmith in the early '90s. If the names sound familiar, they should: Leitch is the son of '60s psychedelic pop star
Donovan (of "Mellow Yellow" fame) while
Nesmith is the offspring of
the Monkees'
Mike Nesmith. Because of their celebrity bloodlines and Leitch's status as a well-known male model for Calvin Klein,
Nancy Boy was greeted with skepticism when they released their debut album,
Promosexual, in 1995, followed by
Nancy Boy on Elektra Records in 1996. However,
Nancy Boy's upbeat glam rock revival did little to attract listeners still caught in the maelstrom of grunge.
Nesmith left the band a few years later, recording a solo effort, Greetings From Pleasure Island, in 2001.
