Heres something that I just usually send to friends and since you're now all my friends I'll share it with you.
Spandau Ballet is a stupid name for a band but in the 80's their stupid name and their stupid songs were all the rage. Some songs even caused rage in some Polish people, but that another story. The band were first formed by twins Martin and Gary Kray in 1967 and after almost 14 years of auditions Tony Hardly became there front man. Their first hit single 'Lie' went to Number 45 and the second single 'Silver' made 46, but this did not stop the boys from recording any more songs because they had a battle on their hands.
'Duran Duran' were doing well in the charts with there hits 'Rio Ferdanand', 'Hungry like Worf, and 'It's all in the reflex's'. Spandau hated Duran for having an equally stupid name so would meet every fifth Tuesday and have a New Romantics off. After 8 years of these meetings in Turkish baths, the bands decided it was a draw.
Simong lebong went on to marry a fit model and Martin Kray went of to marry a can of Pepsi.
In 1989 the band split. The twins went into acting and starred in such hit has 'The Krays', 'The Krays: Lost in Time', 'You can count on the Krays' and 'The Krays Vs. Walter Peck'.
Tony Hardly went on to become the voice of new satellite channel SKY and was made famous for 'This is Sky one', 'If it looks like its snowing on your TV, you're watching SKY' and ' Rupert Murdock murdered my father, SKY News'.
In 2004 the boys all ended up in court has they had a legal battle to find out who would admit to writing all the songs. Tony claims to have nothing to do with the writing of the songs and he's sure he didn't even sing on them.
Martin now live has a ghost on Alburts square!
