Jean Marc Lederman is the half of The Weathermen:great duo.Remember the megahit 'Poison'. Their cd "Beyond the beyond" is outstanding good! Check it out!

Wasn't Jean Marc Lederman Front 242 producer?

[susannastammer]

no, but he did a remix for Front242.

[briz1965]

Saw FAD at Rock City Nottingham early 80's... a scream, he ended up covered in shaving cream and climbing all over the speakers on stage.. one of the funniest things I've ever seen at a concert, brill

[jockojonson17]

My god. American TV was so damn lame compared to Euro. This kind of shit would had no chance in hell of being on US TV.

[cowboystitching]

That's not necessarily true. We had public access.

[Efrasnel]

@jockojonson17 : Don't be fooled, you had to be lucky to catch a show with music like this on European TV. Most of the time it was pop music galore. Not bad per se, but this was usually on late night.

[susannastammer]

@Efrasnel Not entirely true: this show where Fad appeared on was on every week early evening, and the UK had the Old Grey Whistle Test, Holland had a few interesting shows too, so it wasn't rare nor shown at impossible hours. Actually, when MTV started in Europe a few years later, the shows they were putting on covered a lot of the alternative scene.

[departments2006]

Jeeze, I saw Frank live many times. At Billys, at Crocs and even in fucking Belgium (Long story). This video, although brilliant doesn't do justice to his live act, which was kind of like an electro Iggy Pop. Sadly missed having died in recent years. Poor sod. Nice one Frank.

[SalvadeFlix]

thanks for the post. Fad was Fantastic

[triplehead]

gott hag ihn selig!

[Shadders5]

Ahhhh...more memories of Saturday nights at the Padded Cell in Down Street, Mayfair. There I was plastered in make up thinking I was Mick Karn, posing with a Gitanes cigarette and dancing along to this track....happy days.

[testcardgirl76]

Love the song, love the retro-futuristic presentation!

[sicktube66666]

Heard this for the first time when I was in the 6th grade, I'm 40yrs old now, still awesome!

[macca157]

Priceless clip !!!!! could that be Daniel Miller in the specs ?? hmmmmm.

[synthpopclassics]

[susannastammer]

lol, no, it's not. It's Philippe Wauquaire.

[synthpopclassics]

eh no it's not. it's daniel miller.

Philippe Wauquaire didn't join until 2 years later.

[susannastammer]

that's totally not true. trust me.

[powrxplor69]

Totally New Wavey video! Awesome!

[frosty121278]

You should check out my bands cover of this... look up adaptive reaction or click on my name

[slowd1ver]

classic track. horrible video effects,

so synth spotters?...

I see an Ms20 (too much in the patch bay to be an ms10)

a Yamaha CS ? CS50? (its got the right end panels and legs - but not big enough to be a CS80 - could be the cs60?)

but ive no idea what the other one is ..

[MrRotweiler]

Frank Tovey is God

[Joevirus]

This is still one of my all time fave songs!! R.I.P. Frank Tovey.

[NAIKOIVANENKO]

ABSOLUTE CULT Band!!!

[bastardita]

[heihoc]

Thank you for providing this song. I love it!!!!!!!!

[TANGOFIVE]

The singer voice sounds similar to Sister's of Mercy

[ostenolamon]

Sister has more vibrato, don't you think?

[ixceix]

and alot deeper. i think frank tovey has the better voice..

[Cartaphilos]

And we got Mr. Miller on the synth

good going Danny Boy
