This was the bands ONLY and last EVER show.One of the most influential groups to emerge from the electronic music scene in the UK in the 1980s, Soft Cell produced five albums of original material, book-ended by their debut; 1981s Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret, and 2002s Cruelty Without Beauty. The incredible string of hits Soft Cell produced during this time, including ten tracks that reached the UK Top 40 singles charts, need little introduction.The unique combination of Balls musicianship and Almonds tender yet assured delivery on songs such as Memorabilia, Torch, and of course their trademark Say Hello, Wave Goodbye inhabits a unique place in British music history.Tainted Love, Soft Cells boundless Number One hit, is perhaps the most emblematic and evocative song of the era. A cover of Gloria Jones Northern Soul staple that kept the originals yearning tone, Soft Cell enveloped the track with a slowed down instantly recognisable synth riff a nod to pop musics past, yet wholly updated with the fresh, modern sound of the 80s that still holds up to this day.Intervening years have seen both Marc Almond and Dave Balls talent recognised with successful solo careers in their own right, with Almond awarded an Ivor Novello Inspiration Award in 2013, as well as an OBE this years New Years Honours List. Ball went on to form The Grid, peaking with million-selling international hit Swamp Thing, as well as working as a producer and writer for the likes of Kylie Minogue and remixer for David Bowie, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, Yello The B-52s.
