	Sigue Sigue Sputnik - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sigue Sigue Sputnik is a British pop-cyberpunk band that achieved moderate fame in the mid- to late 1980s, when the song "Love Missile F1-11" hit the pop charts around the world.
		The band took its name from a Moscow street gang called Sigue Sigue Sputnik, which means "Burn, burn, satellite." Their outlandish appearance and image, which included towering, multicoloured mohawk hairstyles, wigs, makeup, and gender-bending fetish clothing (plastic, rubber, or leather outfits, fishnet stockings, and stiletto heels) garnered a great deal of attention from the media.
		Sigue Sigue Sputnik lyrics combined futuristic imagery ("saturn dreams, laser beams," and "space cowboy") with campy, erotic, references to fetishized violence and B-movie imagery.

	Sigue Sigue Sputnik - The Regeneration of Rock And Roll
		Sigue Sigue Sputnik were the ultimate soundbite specialists, spewing forth cyberpunk slogans like there was no tomorrow.
		Sputnik made music to soundtrack their image and their masterplan, thrusting thieving hands into the pot of rock n roll history and emerging with a sound that mixed punk with glam, 50s rock rebellion with new wave futurism.
		Naturally, SSS thrived upon this, meaning that before first single "Love Missile F1-11" was released, everyone had heard of Sigue Sigue Sputnik.

		In der Anfangsformation setzte sich Sigue Sigue Sputnik zusammen aus den Bandmitgliedern Tony James (Gitarre), Martin Degville (Gesang), Neal X (Gitarre), Chris Kavanagh (Schlagzeug) und Ray Mayhew (Schlagzeug).
		Sigue Sigue Sputnik fielen vor allem durch ihre schrillbunte Kleidung auf, ihr für die damalige Zeit - trotz Punkbewegung - immer noch sehr andersartiges Aussehen bezgüglich Piercings, Tätowierungen und Frisuren sowie ihr bewußt provozierendes, fast schon "großkotziges" oft auch geschmackloses Auftreten.
		Sigue Sigue Sputnik wurde 1983 von Tony James gegründet, der zuvor als Bassist in der Band Generation X von Billy Idol war, den er noch von früher aus den Punkrock-Zeiten kannte.

		By some time-lapse glitch in the universe, the world that Sputnik foresaw has come to pass and their revenge, while sweet, has a sad undertow.
		Mabey that's why it all fell apart arroud his feet, mabey James should have thought about what the public wanted, rather than losing himself in his own selfish dream of how he wanted to be percieved and the ideal band he'd like to be seen in.
		In reality Sigue Sigue Sputnik needed a manager so Tony could concentrate on writing songs with the other two, in reality it took them far too long to release a follow-up single.

		And even though their ideas, songs, looks and gigs were pretty, innovative, bright and exciting; the music press liked you to believe SSS was nothing but an unsuccessful hyped group (1985/86), gift wrapped to be unwrapped but with no real content.
		Since mid 1997, Sigue Sigue is 'back' minus the two drummers and minus Yana Yaya, their special FX lady.
		SSS is nowadays based on the WWW, and slowly developing NEW exciting SSStuff: CDs, gigs, videos, ideas.

	Rock-Pop-Tipps - SIGUE SIGUE SPUTNIK: Flaunt It
		Sigue Sigue Sputnik: Flaunt It Sigue Sigue Sputnik schlugen 1986 mit ihrem Album „Flaunt It“ wie eine Bombe in der Musikszene ein.
		Sigue Sigue Sputnik waren wild, laut und bunt und ähnelten äußerlich eher einer Mischung aus Punk- und Glamrock als einer der angesagten Combos jener Zeit, denen eine frisch gescheitelte Frisur oder eine gut sitzende Bügelfalte mindestens genauso wichtig war, wie ein guter Song oder eine gute Performance.
		Tony James war nach Sigue Sigue Sputnik noch bei den Sisters of Mercy aktiv, Neal X trat noch einmal auf einer Marc-Almond-Album in Erscheinung.

	Science Fair Projects - Sigue Sigue Sputnik
		Sigue Sigue Sputnik are a British Cyberpunk band who achieved moderate fame in early 1986 with the song Love Missile F1-11, which appeared in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
		They created a unique style of new wave music filled with sound effects and with futuristic lyrical themes of war, sex, and dehumanisation that rarely seem to make obvious sense — but the music was much less important than the hard-sold image.
		Tony James went on to become a member of The Sisters of Mercy in 1989-1991.

	Modamag.com \| Sigue Sigue Sputnik: Ultra Real (Music Review)
		Sputnik has always loved to add products and commercials into the mix, but never before have they crafted a more perfect song with themselves as the product.
		I’d almost have sworn it wasn’t written by Sputnik at all, but it is and just goes to show the kind of diverse tracks they’re willing to put on the album.
		While the music of Sigue Sigue Sputnik has never found as wide an audience as it deserved to, the group has stuck through hard times and come back strong.

	Sigue Sigue Sputnik : Flaunt It - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Random outbursts like "Sigue Sigue Sputnik -- affordable fire power!" make the song their most hysterically funny number, but others eluding to the dehumanization of mankind ("I am the ultimate product!") and that we love products rather than the people around us ("I love technology"), now ring a little too true for comfort.
		Flaunt It runs out of steam at the end, but only because the remaining three tracks are stuck with the near impossible task of measuring up to the most over of over-the-top rock & roll the world had heard yet.
		Sigue Sigue Sputnik succeeded in their attempt to create the ultimate rock & roll fantasy, one full of violent, futuristic imagery that was cartoonish, yet often if you listened close enough, had, surprisingly, something to say.

	Sigue Sigue Sputnik: Flaunt It
		13 years before the planet succumbed to Prodigy's techno-punk, Sigue Sigue Sputnik had an intergalactic hit with a Missile F1-11 foreseeing the electronica of the 90's.
		Of course, some made fun of their marketing hype (what also happened to the Sex Pistols!!) and of their success in Japan, the only country where John Tesh and David Hasselhof can have a carreer, but 13 years later, one can only deduce that they were ahead of their time.
		No one deserves it more than Tony James, the band leader, who after playing with the Sisters of Mercy and X-CNN is currently preparing a new album of the cyber-punks Sigue Sigue Sputnik.

		S.S.S. were the ultimate triumph, at the time, anyway, of smirking decadence, hedonistic opulence and flimsy facades over any kind of substance or sentiment.
		I mean, SPUTNIK were never taken that seriously by anyone but Tony James, but back in the 80's, we didn't care about substance, we were kids, just thrilled to play along.
		SIGUE SIGUE SPUTNIK were like the original, phony pretty boy 80's rock group for kids who'd graduated from Duran Duran.

		Sigue Sigue Sputnik's first single, "Love Missile F1-11," was unlike anything heard in the 30-plus years of rock & roll.
		An ominous love song for the virtual reality age, when sex with a human is replaced by sex with a video game.
		The song addresses not only the ascending vigilante justice in America, but the constant threat of the then two super powers destroying the world in a nuclear showdown.

	TrouserPress.com :: Sigue Sigue Sputnik
		Spurred no doubt by former Generation X bandmate Billy Idol's solo stardom (and possibly the successful no-music-necessary starmaking machinery of Frankie Goes to Hollywood), bassist/producer Tony James formed this colorful and sweeping multi-media hype as a post-everything adaptation of Malcolm McLaren's great rock'n'roll swindle.
		But instead of trying to manipulate the record industry and music-consuming public with cagey behind-the-scenes machinations, Sigue Sigue Sputnik confronted the challenge with total frankness, blithely acknowledging the naked crassness of their intentions.
		(Besides the obvious Bolanisms, SSS tangentially acknowledges a massive debt to Suicide with occasional cries of "Rocket USA," not-so-cleverly disguised as "Rock It Miss USA.") Despite spectacular Japanese-styled art and the distinction of being the first rock record to contain paid audio advertisements, Flaunt It doesn't got it.

		And then there was of course their 1986 in-yer-face manifesto (one of the zillion they had) that groups can easily be superstars 'cos of the (total) packaging and not so much of the music are more true nowadays than ever with the overloads of constructed chart-stars around.
