Sigue Sigue Sputnik

Sigue Sigue Sputnik was a British band formed in the early 1980s by former Generation X bassist Tony James. Known for their futuristic, punk-meets-glam aesthetic and a sound that blended rock with electronic and dance influences, the band gained attention with their debut album *Flaunt It* (1986), which featured their hit single "Love Missile F1-11." What set them apart was their heavily stylized image, bold marketing strategies, and a vision that combined cyberpunk themes with pop culture satire. Though their follow-up album *Dress for Excess* (1988) didn't achieve the same level of success, the band remains a cult favorite and an early precursor to the fusion of rock and electronic music.
