  • We're celebrating 40 Years of Spandau Ballet. Watch 'Musclebound' performed on BBC Top of The Pops on 2nd April 1981!
    40 Years - The Greatest Hits out now @ lnk.to/Spandau...
    Spandau Ballet are one of Britain’s great iconic bands having sold over 25 million records, scored numerous multi-platinum albums and amassed 23 hit singles across the globe since their humble beginnings as a group of friends with dreams of stardom in the late 1970s. It wasn’t long before they became fully-fledged members of the iconic Blitz Club scene and established themselves as one of the super-groups of the 80s.
    The band's classic line-up features brothers Gary and Martin Kemp on guitars, vocalist Tony Hadley, saxophonist Steve Norman and drummer John Keeble.
    Spandau Ballet’s hits include Gold, True, To Cut A Long Story Short, Through The Barricades and many more.

    Tony is just unbearably beautiful with his bangs. And Steve with his long scarf.

    One of Spands' most underrated tracks. What an enticing vision this conjures up; and it's served well by TOTP's steamy presentation.

      Doesn't get the airplay on 80s music stations that it deserves, even 'To cut a long story short' doesn't either, another classic track!

      Musclebound (Top of the Pops 02/04/81) 1856pm 19.12.24 just watched and listened to gaz kemp on word in your ear (youtube) - got seek the interview out. i'm here cos i'm trynna ascertain if the dudes look at their instruments they play or wink at the birds. one surmises it's a bit of both.... i like this song. the more palatable slow dance gear it tried palm off on me wasn't sitting well with me. gold was ok, though...

    SPANDAU ballet are musicians because their music was new wave and also they are leaders in pop culture and music.

    Still sounding as good today. I was there that night at the original Scala Cinema in Tottenham Street, London for their first ever gig, introduced no less by one Robert Elms, a very young journo! Clubs like Billy's, The Blitz, Planets, Le Beat Route [when Chant Number 1 was released in 1981] and one of my favourites Club For Heroes at the Barracuda Club in Baker Street. Damn but they were good times. Nothing like it nowadays. No one mixes anymore.

    I love the layers of fabrics in such an Arabian Knights setting. I adore the lyrics to this track and the homoerotic of it all. Tough is the leather that's strapped to my skin
    Strong are the bonds that we make. Spandau Ballet at their most MUSICAL and CREATIVE on Muscle Bound along with tracks such as Innocence And Science, Toys and Missionary. This crowd were SO lucky to have been there, I could slit my wrists! :-(

    Mad thing is Martin Kemp only started playing bass in 78, 2 and a half years earlier. He must have practiced like the devil to get that good. Great band.

    We're building fires that will burn until morning
    The smell of books and hot stone surrounds us
    Tough is the leather that's strapped to my skin
    Strong are the bonds that we make
    We feel the steam as it rises around us
    Up from the soil that is cracking its back
    Tough is the leather that's strapped to my skin
    Strong are the bonds that we sing
    Work till you're musclebound, all night long
    Work till you're musclebound, all night long
    Work till you're musclebound, all night long
    Work till you're musclebound, all night long
    We're building fires that will burn until morning
    The smell of books and hot stone surrounds us
    Tough is the leather that's strapped to my skin
    Strong are the bonds that we make
    To feel the pulsing from chanter to mountain
    Down through the vein and into the grain
    Strong is the shoulder that moves to the time
    Here is the land it can break
    Work till you're musclebound, all night long
    Work till you're musclebound, all night long
    Gotta work till you're musclebound, all night long
    Gotta work till you're musclebound, all night long
    Tough is the leather that's strapped to my skin
    Strong are the bonds that we sing
    Work till you're musclebound, all night long
    Work till you're musclebound, all night long
    Gotta work till you're musclebound, all night long
    Work till you're musclebound, all night long

    @Janko1972 2 года назад +4

    I find it strange that most of the great music past 60 years has taken place during Conservative governments. Nixon/Heath late 60's/early 70s's.....Reagan/Thatcher, 1980s. Could it be that the counter culture is most creative during time of "imagined" suppression? It may be more likely that these artists are actually hard working conservative minded people who just identify with Socialist Working Class rhetoric to be "cool". "Work 'til you're Musclebound" isn't exactly a mantra for Left Wingers.

    • @OldManDave1960
      @OldManDave1960 2 года назад

      "Work" isn't exactly the mantra of the left. "Entitlement" is.
