What was that all about.

British, but name themselves after a german / russian sattelite?

Music was weird too.

I loved 'em
They were, of course, takimg the piss. Once you realised that, it all made perfect sense. They came up with some absolutely hilarious 12" mixes, and had a few very catchy tunes buried under all the effects. Lots of people wrote them off as one-hit wonders, but they actually reformed a while back and made another half dozen albums, for their die-hard fans.

oh, and they were actually named after a Russian gang.

Don't diss the Sigue!
Flaunt it was a fantastically crafted tongue-in-cheek album, complete with interspersed 'adverts' between tracks.

Sex Bomb Boogie, Dance on Dance on.

the second album was almost as good.
