The Congress

Yazoo which is also Yaz if in America perform Synthpop or New Wave. The group is a man and a woman team consisting of Vince Clark and Alison Moyet. Vince is from Depeche Mode. This British pair was a smash with Alison performing the vocals and Vince performing synthesizer. Alison sings soul felt blues making for a popular combination.

Yazoo's debut single was Losing My Edge. Situation '90, The Other Side of Love, Upstairs at Eric's and Nobody's Diary are some more of the duo's chart making releases. From the UK their music is recognized in Austria, Australia, Belgium, Ireland, Sweden, Italy, France, Switzerland, the US, the Netherlands and Canada.

Relying heavily on the synthesizer, psychedelic strobe effecs dance in the background as Alison performs the vocals with a deep, rusk-y, alto voice. Alison enjoys a model's style of make-up while Vince looks like the nice boy from next door. The music is intense, hot, modern and very clear. Since Vince has a background with the famous Depeche Mode group, they are confident and stable as they show your their stuff. They are not fully expected to perform together anymore (Alison performs solo quite a bit) but if you so happen to hear them coming around be sure to take notice and perhaps get the tickets for they are very good.
