Spandau Ballet were an English pop band formed in Islington, London, in 1979. Inspired by the capital's post-punk underground dance scene, they emerged at the start of the 1980s as the house band for the Blitz Kids, playing “European Dance Music“ as “The Applause“ for this new club culture's audience. They became one of the most successful groups of the New Romantic era of British pop and were part of the Second British Invasion of the Billboard Top 40 in the 1980s, selling 25 million albums and having 23 hit singles worldwide. The band have had eight UK top 10 albums, including three greatest hits compilations and an album of re-recorded material. This single 'Through The Barricades' reached no. 3 in the Dutch Top 40 on January 3, 1987. This performance was recorded and broadcast live by TROS TV program 'Platen 10 Daagse Gala' on October 8, 1986. Watch our great music videos ❯ More TopPop? Subscribe here ❯ More info on Wikipedia ❯
