Hi Dave, How are you doing? I still listen to Soft Cell... the music means just as much to me now as it did back in the 80s. Wishing you a great week! Love and Best wishes Sharron xx
Hi Dave, i only recently discovered the album In Strict Tempo, rather late i know but amazing stuff! its one of my most played records at the moment, thanks!
Hi Dave Ball SC /Grid, thanks for continuing to be a friend of Electroflex.
Some important news!
Electroflex have been back in the studio following a break from gigging and recording with new track ‘Computer Virus’.
This is the first of a series of new releases for 2009, and what better day to start on than Liz’s Birthday!
‘Computer Virus’ is a live favourite. Anyone forced to work with computers will know how evil they are and this track is Electroflex’s response to Kraftwerk’s ‘Its More Fun to Compute’. It is a bouncy number with a serious bassline, sing-along chorus and a selection of curious samples.
The track will only be up on Myspace in full for a short time. Alternatively, visit our Facebook and iLike pages where you can add the song to you playlists
Hiya Dave! Hope u r well?
Love your work + soft cell is still my fave group! Bin a fan since the age of 4 + went to c u + Marc in Bristol on the come back tour. Twas amazing! Especially coz I was not born the 1st time round in the early 80s.
Much love, Lydia x x x
