Dannii Lee Damage was born Chiam Levi Danielovitch, in Las Vegas Nevada, on April 27. The only member of the Toyz to not graduate from high school (he was kicked out of his high school in his freshman year for having sex with the school librarian on the Principal's desk, while being videotaped by the Vice Principal, mind you). Despite his lack of formal education, he moved to L.A. and enrolled in, and graduated second in his class from, G.I.T. (now called the Musician's Institute).
After missing out on the lead guitar gig in Steeler, to Yngwie Malmsteen, who had been the only one to graduate above Damage in their G.I.T. class , Damage, like Likki Stixx, worked his way through a number of Sunset strip era bands. (By the way, he may have been beaten by Yngwie at G.I.T., but how much sexier is Damage now than the more-than-a-little porked out Swede?). His, mostly short-lived, stints include a short tour with Plain Jane (eventually Warrant), a period with Vixen (before they went all-female), one weekend with Roxx Regime (before they found God and turned into Stryper), a turn with King Kobra (before Mark Free became Marcie Free), and most notably a tour of Pennsylvania with Paris, which later became Poison, where he was replaced by future bandmate Johnny Emaxx, who in turn was replaced by Bruce Johannassen (who you know as C.C. DeVille).
The newest member of the band, and it's only blond, Damage is the quiet one who the guys wish they were and the chicks want to...have hair like.
