"WANG CHUNG - "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" was instantly accessible, universally appealing, and one of the most memorable songs of the decade. A combination of rock, funk, pop, electronics and the odd experimental touch (perhaps even a bit of overindulgent, self-reflexive satire too), it helped define New Wave. From the band's Mosaic album (1986), the song danced its way to #2 on the pop charts. It wasn't the only Wang Chung hit. "Dance Hall Days," from Points On The Curve (1984), had earlier peaked at #16, and the duo of singer/guitarist Jack Hues and singer-bassist-keyboardist Nick Feldman -- who had teamed in London in 1980 -- would claim three more Top 40 singles."

2007 news!!!

The-Quartet is the remarkably free, natural and unbounded collaboration of four very different, but like-minded musicians. These contrasts and connections are explored in their new album 'Illuminated', a vivid and expansive expression of their many musical horizons. Citing an exhilarating mixture of influences including Thelonius Monk, Brad Mehldau, Radiohead, Charles Mingus, Pink Floyd and Miles Davies, The-Quartet's creative heart is Jack Hues and Sam Bailey. Despite radically different musical backgrounds, they have become an intuitive and prolific creative partnership. A gifted songwriter and composer, Jack has a string of top 20 hits, film soundtracks and production credits to his name, including Wang Chung and Definition of Sound. Sam is a classically trained pianist, a former pupil of the late Ronald Smith, who brings enormous talent as a composer and improviser to the process. Their skills and ideas are given greater breadth and depth by seasoned session player Rutledge Turnlund and drummer Michael Porter. They are joined on four of the six tracks by saxophonist Paul Booth, one of the brightest rising stars of the British Jazz scene, and by classical violinist Charlie Brown. With the input of producer Chris Hughes, best known for his work with Tears for Fears and Adam and The Ants, the band have inspired and developed some of Jack Hues' most innovative compositions. In 'Illuminated' The-Quartet has escaped from the narrowcast and formulaic, expanding their creative perspective into something distinctive, vibrant and particular. From the hauntingly beautiful 'Fallujah' to the irreverent energy of 'Brahms Blues', 'Illuminated' is a glorious and real journey of adventure and possibility. 'Illuminated' is the latest release from Helium Records.

Wang Chung are on the verge of signing a new publishing deal, and in turn also working to finish the new record. Rumor has it that live dates may also be on the table for 2007! In the meantime, be sure to check out the following sites for more information.
