White Sister was formed in early 1980 by lead vocalist/bassist Dennis Churchill-Dries, guitarist Rick Chadock, and drummer Gus Moratinos. Lead vocalist/keyboardist Garri Brandon joined shortly after to form the first incarnation of the band.
Initially called "TYRANT", the group began playing at the Icehouse in Pasadena and soon moving up to shows at the world famous "Troubadour" club in Hollywood, opening for acts such as XCITER (which consisted of guitarist George Lynch and drummer Mick Brown before they joined DOKKEN). As fate would have it, WHITE SISTER actually met Gregg Giuffria from ANGEL at a gas station one evening, and wound up working with him to assist with songwriting, leading Giuffria to produce WHITE SISTER demos and eventually, the first album. Original drummer Gus Moratinos left amicably in 1981 citing musical differences and was replaced by Richard Wright to round out the second incarnation.
