Wang Chung

Wang Chung, originally known as Huang Chung, was an English rock band formed in London in 1980. The founding members were Jack Hues on lead vocals and guitar, Nick Feldman on bass and synthesizer, Darren Costin on drums and percussion, and David Burnand on keyboards. In 1982, they released their self-titled debut album Huang Chung, which did not achieve significant chart success. Their breakthrough came with the release of "Dance Hall Days" from their second album Points on the Curve in 1983, which reached number 8 on the US dance charts and became a club staple. In 1985, Wang Chung contributed to the soundtrack for the film To Live and Die in L.A., with the title track becoming a popular hit. The band's commercial peak was reached in 1986 with the release of their album Mosaic, which featured the Number 1 hit "Everybody Have Fun Tonight". Wang Chung also released one more albums, The Warmer Side of Cool (1989) before effectively disbanding in 1990. After a period of hiatus, the band reunited as a duo in 1997 and continued to record and perform, releasing the LPs Tazer Up! (2012) and Orchesography (2019).
