History

Formation and Background

Little is known about the West Side Lords' formation, except that they were founded sometime before May 20, 1979. They were on the Gramercy Riffs' network.

Battling an unknown gang

Sometime in 1979, the West Side Lords were defeated by an all female gang, as mentioned by Ajax. It is possible it was The Lizzies, although an East Side girl gang is mentioned by the Lizzies in their hangout, so they could've been involved as well.
