JAPAN
From South London. Led by David Sylvian (David Batt)(vocals/guitar/keyboards) and Mick Karn (Anthony Michelides)(bass) with Steve Jansen (Steve Batt)(drums), Rob Deab (guitar) and Richard Barbieri (keyboards). Artsy new wave that bears a strong resemblance to Roxy Music. They enjoyed great popularity in Europe as well as Japan but are hardly known in the U.S. After the group broke up, Sylvian began a continuing solo career. Karn formed the short lived Dali's Car with Peter Murphy of Bauhauas. In 1989 the group reformed to fulfill a contractual obligation and made one album under the name Rain Tree Crow which was released in 1991. 1978-83/1991.
