Spandau Ballet NEW SOUNDS NEW STYLES - MAY 1982

Just over a year ago they were the First of the Frills,  the Blitz kids, the self-named applause for their audience of designers, artists, hairdressers and assorted hedonists. As time went by and summer arrived it was down, down past the Talk Of Town to dance yourself into the ground with the rest of teh keychain gang.  Glow ! Chant ! Again one of the finest and first to funk.  Now it's  Spring and Spandau Ballet have produced a Diamond NSNS - How do you think the band has  changed over the past year ? GK - Obviously we've improved musically ... in our ability.  I think 'Glow' was the first major step for us because all of the first album has got a similar European flamour to it. It was the first time we had tried to play American style funk - but still with white lyrics.  That was the most important thing - we were making dance music but without those bad American lyrics.
