Bow Wow Wow with Gene Loves Jezebel and Tommy Tutone

Formed in London in 1980 by Malcolm McLaren, Bow Wow Wow, featuring Annabella Lwin, is known for hits like "I Want Candy." Their new wave style blends punk, pop, and African rhythms. The band's two albums secured their pop history, with highlights including "Go Wild in the Country." They influenced music piracy culture with the cassette single "C·30 C·60 C·90 Go!" and worked with notable figures like Boy George. Disbanding in 1983, the band reunited for tours, impacting the music scene with their lively performances and distinctive style.

Gene Loves Jezebel, formed by Welsh twins Jay and Michael Aston, is a goth-influenced band known for "Jealous," their highest-charting U.S. single. Major albums include "Promise" and "Discover." They collaborated with musicians like John Cale. Over the years, lineup changes included notable members like guitarist James Stevenson. The Aston brothers eventually split, each touring with their versions of the band, leading to a legal settlement over the name. Jay's group released "Dance Underwater" in 2017.

Tommy Tutone, led by Tommy Heath and Jim Keller, rose to fame with the 1981 hit "867-5309/Jenny," reaching No. 4 and earning gold status. Despite their early success, they disbanded after 1983's *National Emotion*. Heath revived the name in 1994 with *Nervous Love* and continued releases like *Tutone.rtf* in 1998.
