 Thompson Twins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They were one of the performers on Live Aid, the multi-venue rock music concert held on July 13, 1985.
The Thompson Twins, in their most successful era, were Tom Bailey (born January 18, 1957), Alannah Currie and Joe Leeway.
Thompson Twins are a New Wave band best known for their ballads "Hold Me Now," "King for a Day," and "If You Were Here," and their dance songs "Lies" and "Doctor!

 Thompson Twins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thompson Twins were a British band which emerged in the 1980s in the immediate aftermath of New Romanticism, scoring a string of hits and conquering the USA and Canada in the process.
They made headlines when they performed at the American end of Live Aid and were joined onstage by the fresh-faced Madonna, who was in only her second year of fame.
The corresponding album, Into The Gap, was one of the best sellers of the year.

 VH1.com : The Thompson Twins : Biography
The Thompson Twins recorded one album in this seven-piece incarnation, 1982's Set, which was released in America as In the Name of Love.
The revamped Thompson Twins released Quick Step and Side Kick in 1983, and the album became a major hit in the U.K., climbing all the way to number two, as the singles "Love on Your Side" and "We Are Detective" reached the Top Ten.
That same year, they released the remix album The Best of Thompson Twins: Greatest Mixes, which was generally ignored.

 TrouserPress.com :: Thompson Twins
The Thompsons got their first exposure in America via In the Name of Love, which consists of two tracks from the first album and eight from the second.
As if realizing that the Thompsons’ race had been run, Bailey and Currie became Babble, releasing The Stone, an album that chills out the tone of their late-'80s work to navigate less-rhythmatized, more restrained musical currents.
The tranquilizing influence of ambient techno, occasionally colored in with world music elements (the title track is a veritable Middle Eastern sonic bazaar), gives the record its appealing character, a nearly there experiment to balance pop's explicit desires with ambient house's coy grooves.

 Thompson Twins are Babbling?
Thompson Twins were Tom Bailey, Alannah Curie and Joe Leeway with their start in 1977 in the UK according to the Unofficial Thompson Twins Homepage.
I listen to The Best of Thompson Twins: Greatest Mixes with most of the tracks produced by the greatest ones like Nile Rogers, Alex Sadkin, Shep Pettibone and Rupert Hine.
I always wondered what and where are the Thompson Twins (or variation thereof) are doing.

 A Thompson Twins Biography
The Twins re-emerged in October 1982 with a new album, a new image and a new single, Lies.
The Twins' first taste of stardom came in 1982 with In The Name Of Love, a track written by Tom (who had taken over as lead singer) to fill a gap on an album.
Thankfully, Tom recovered, the Twins continued to promote their new album, and performed at the Live Aid concert in Philadelphia.

 Unofficial Thompson Twins Home Page
Meanwhile, back at the commune, the Thompson Twins bring us a traditional Sierra Leone song which translates into lame repetitive music in the hands of a British beat band.
In "Slave Trade", the Twins have achieved a convincing facsimile of what the transient Westerner recognises as an African tribal chant, but stripped of the involvement of live performance, the listener is forced to sit and grin uncomfortably like an overdressed member of the Royal Family under- going the full panoply of native hospitality.
The net result of all this ethnic dabbling is that the album sounds too much like a compilation of abstruse sources, lacking the furiously ener- getic momentum which fires the Twins when they're confronted with a stage with an audience in front of it.

 Thompson Twins
Thompson Twins haven't completely given up the music business, as Bailey and Currie have been putting out new music under the name Babble from their home in New Zealand.
Unlike many bands of their day the Thompson Twins were competant song writers, and they had the cool hair and videos to back their music up and make it sell.
They had a string of hits in the early/mid eighties - some quite enduring, such as Lay Your Hands on Me and Hold Me Now; and some quite cheesy, such as Lies and Doctor Doctor - but all of them fun to listen to.

 Amazon.com: Here's to Future Days: Music: Thompson Twins
In 1989 I was working at a music store, and intuitively second-guessing the Arista records I went on a hunt for all the Thompson Twins albums on cd before they were discontinued in America.
This CD is the best work by the Thompson Twins in my opinion but the one track that is missing Rollover really took away from this CD.
Gone is the glossy, hypnotic work of Alex Sadkin, who was part of the successful Thompson Twins equation for two albums.
