What is the name of this English electronic band that formed in BAsildon, Essex in 1980 and were covered by Static Icon?
Static Icon Static Icon is a synthpop band. They started in Adelaide, Australia as a three-piece band called "Das Concept". In their first incarnation they were a Depeche Mode cover band. Gradually they introduced more and more original material into their set. To complete the transition to a fully original band, they changed their name to Static Icon and dropped all but one or two Depeche Mode covers from their set.
The Pinkees The Pinkees were an English power pop band from Basildon, Essex, active in the 1980s. The band members were Paul Egholm (vocals, guitar), Andy Price (vocals, guitar), Max Reinsch (guitar, keyboards), Nevil Kiddier (bass) and Paul Reynolds (drums). Piano and additional vocals, when recording, were supplied by their producer Keith Bonsoir. They released four singles and an album on Creole Records from 1982–1983. Their second single, "Danger Games", reached number 8 on the official UK charts (although it was claimed to have achieved the feat through chart hyping and suspicious sales patterns, and did not appear on some other charts at all) and gained them appearances on BBC TV programmes such as "Top of the Pops" and "Pebble Mill at One". The eponymously titled album was released on vinyl and cassette but it has never been issued in CD format. It stands at number 123 on the list of albums in the "Ultimate Power Pop Guide".
