in Melbourne)
Origin - London, England
Driving Force - Steve Strange
Years - including all the incarnations, we

Best Song -
We had a hit dance single
in much of the world called "Man From China", but it's debateable if that
was really our best song. "The House is Burning", "I Know Your Room"
"Working For William" and "What We Talk About" seem to be the faves.
Origin - The band was based in Los Angeles
but was signed to Charisma UK (Polygram worldwide) after Peter Gabriel
heard some demos and introduced us to the label he was on.
Driving Force - In the real world, probably
the main songwriter, bassist, Mick Muhlfriedel; lead singer for all but
the final girl fronted incarnations, Terrance Robay.... and I guess me
as a writer, singer and synth player.
