The Origins of Alphaville, the European hit making group behind hit singles “Big in Japan,” Forever Young.”
The founding members of the band were lead singer Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd, and Frank Mertens.
Marian Gold of Alphaville sings their greatest hits in a rare L.A. concert, live at Starlight Bowl, in Burbank California.
Alphaville formed in early 1982, in Münster, Germany when Marian Gold and Bernhard Lloyd met at the music project Nelson Community. Months later, Frank Mertens joined the project. Together, the three wrote the monster-hit “Forever Young” which until this day plays on AC and pop radio worldwide, and has been covered by numerous rock and pop stars like Tiffany, The Killers, in addition to up-and-coming musicians on YouTube.
In 1984, the group released their debut single, “Big in Japan”, which Gold wrote in 1979 after hearing the music of Holly Johnson’s band Big in Japan. The song was another huge hit for Alphaville, promising music coming from a band with strong lyrics, memorable riffs and its own sophisticated stamp.
Following their success with more hit singles like “Sounds Like a Melody,” Jet Set,” Dance with Me” cemented the band’s place in music history, with a lasting effect on generations long after the original release of each song.
The latest Alphaville album, Strange Attractor, was released on April 7, 2017. The band has been touring extensively since their 1980s beginning. These days, fans in United States are particularly happy hearing about the band’s recent concert dates in selected cities across the country.
