Soft Cell - Alphaville Forum

As I was browsing the web, I "stumbold" on to this.

Old pop stars never die, they just disappear for 17 years, only to return as if they’ve never been away. That was certainly the case for Marc Almond and Dave Ball last night (15 March), as they performed as Soft Cell for the first time since 1984.

I hope they do somthing about it,and give out some more of that brilliant music they once wrote.
They did 2 new songs.

hey sten,where did you see them,ive just got back from the ocean in hackney,london where i just saw sot cell live.they were fantastic and performed like they'd never been away,using all their old synth (aaaaahhhh a sequential circuits prophet,the tool of kings).almond was on incredible form,doing some rather bizarre dance moves (almost robotics),amusing the crowd with a few merry quips here and there and singing like it was 1981 all over again,and dave ball was,well dave ball really,you know how it is with these types (ron mael,chris lowe etc,etc)they did 4 new songs at this show,they must have got their confidence back.
