Re: ...who's the band...?

Yep - the short-lived Billion Dollar Babies; formed by Mike Bruce, Dennis Dunaway & Neal Smith when they broke away after Muscle Of Love and Alice Cooper became the "solo" artist. Glen Buxton dropped out. I believe Bob Dolin did session keys for Alice Cooper band on Billion Dollar Babies and Muscle of Love albums, so was drafted in as was Mike Marconi who had the unenviable task of vocals as well as guitar.

I thought someone would probably say Alice Cooper, and being a fan of the QI tv show, I had the klaxon ready.....

Okay then - I'll leave you with:-  Kim, Terry, Paul & Pye

Well,don't know if any new rider will get this, but if anyone is sage enough, it'll be Rocket.
