Formed on April 10th 1977, The Sillies kicked it all off with their premiere show in '77 alongside the new MC5 and Destroy All Monsters. Being one of the few bands in Detroit to actually play original music, gigs were scarce. After landing a few shows like the "Hooker's Ball" (a benefit for prostitutes), in 1978 they found an old supper club called "Bookies Club 870" that they morphed into Detroit's first rock nightclub and attracted bands like The Damned, Dead Boys and Johnny Thunders among others.
In 1979 they released their only 7" called "No Big Deal" despite more than half the band leaving just prior to release. In late 1980 they went on tour with Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers, at the end of it they saw 4 more members depart. Throughout the years, The Sillies would reunite for a show or two, playing together as recently as 2008.
