As is well known, mainly uses synthesizers and drum computers as instruments. The band had their first success in 1981 with the debut single (We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang. The piece attracted attention because it was quickly the anthem of leftist groups and boycotted by the BBC because of the very political lyrics in England. Since the content of this piece is more up-to-date these days, it gives the mini-tour its well-deserved name.
The band had their greatest successes in 1983 with the song Temptation and the ballad Come Live with Me from the LP The Luxury Gap, which featured songs like Let Me Go, This Is Mine and Sunset Now from the album How Men Are (1984). at the live spectacle. All in all, a best-of series of songs can be expected that will leave nothing to be desired.
