They released their first EP “Irene and Mavis” the following year, but had their first real exposure via a track on the seminal “Some Bizarre” compilation album, alongside fellow acts “Soft Cell” and “Depeche Mode”. This led to them signing a deal with London Records. Blancmange supported “Nash the Slash” on a London club tour in October and November 1980. Nash introduced the band to the Virgin subsidiary record label DinDisc, but they were ultimately signed by London Records, in 1982. Their first success was the “Talking Heads” influenced single “Feel Me”, a minor hit in 1982, but later that year they broke through with the single “Living On The Ceiling”, which made Number 7 in the UK singles chart. Their debut album, “Happy Families” (which featured a sleeve painting in the style of Louis Wain) also reached the top 30. Further hits followed with “Waves”, “Blind Vision”, “That’s Love That It Is” and “... Read More About Blancmange Biography...  Send Blancmange ringtones to your cell
