Sigue Sigue Sputnik Electronic

Sigue Sigue Sputnik Electronic is a London concert by a project rooted in the British new wave band Sigue Sigue Sputnik, formed in the capital in 1982. It takes place at The 100 Club on Oxford Street.

Sigue Sigue Sputnik were formed in London in 1982 and signed to EMI, which released their debut album, Flaunt It, in 1986. Its hit single, "Love Missile F1-11", combined deep basslines, pounding drums and synth-driven production. Follow-ups included "21st Century Boy" and "Success", the latter produced by Stock, Aitken & Waterman, and the band also issued "Dancerama" and "Albinoni vs Star Wars".

Under Degville's leadership the group recorded further albums for EMI, among them Dress for Excess, Pirate Space and Ultra Real, and played at the Royal Albert Hall as well as on tours of the United States and Japan. In 1991 Martin started a solo career with World War Four, which mixed electro-punk roots with darker rock elements. Later came Sigue Sigue Sputnik Electronic, which blends electro rock with a cyber-shock style. A new concept album is in progress.

The 100 Club, at 100 Oxford Street in Fitzrovia, mainly hosts concerts, with a focus on pop, rock and indie music. The evening will appeal to listeners who follow the project's electronic and electro rock work across its different phases.
