Frankie Goes to Hollywood were formed in Liverpool in 1980 by Holly Johnson (vocals,) Paul Rutherford (vocals,) Peter Gill (drums,) Mark O’Toole (bass guitar) and Brian Nash (guitar,) they took their name from a headline in ‘The New Yorker’ magazine which read ‘Frankie Goes Hollywood,’ next to a photograph of Frank Sinatra.
‘Two Tribes’ had been written as far back as 1982, but it wasn’t until legendary music producer Trevor Horn signed ‘FGTH’ to his ‘ZTT’ record label and remixed the song that it became a hit. The track was released in six different mixes but the two to concentrate on are the ‘Annihilation Mix’ and the ‘Carnage Mix,’ I have chosen to post the ‘Carnage Mix,’ but both come highly recommended.
In the early 1980’s tensions ran very high between The United States and the Soviet Union, and people were very worried of a potential Nuclear War.
