Biography

English 1980s new wave pop band, founded in London (UK) in 1979 as Huang Chung by [a142049] (lead vocals, keyboards, guitar), [a414897] (vocals, keyboards, bass guitar) and [a107954] (vocals, drums, percussion, keyboards). In 1981 the group expanded to a quartet, with the addition of sax player [a1246042]. In keeping with the all-pseudonymous nature of the band, Burnand was known as [a2909585] for the first Arista single, and later, simply as Hogg. Their self-titled debut album was released by Arista Records in 1982 after several profile raising singles. After the release David Burnand left due to "musical differences". In late 1982, Huang Chung they signed with American label [l821]. They changed the spelling of their name to Wang Chung (at David Geffen’s suggestion, to make pronunciation easier).
