Culture Club were a pop & New Romantic band primarily active in the 1980s. Boy George, an active cross-dresser in London in the 1970s, got his professional start as an early member of Bow Wow Wow. He then formed In Praise of Lemmings with Mikey Craig, which became the Sex Gang Children after the addition of Jon Juede. After Jon Moss joined, the group became known as Culture Club. Sude was replaced by Roy Hay & recorded some demos for EMI, but this did not result in a contract. In 1982, Culture Club signed with Virgin Records & released two unsuccessful singles before the breakthrough success of Do You Really Want To Hurt Me, a massive British hit. The bands debut LP, Kissing to Be Clever, was also a hit and, by 1983, both the album & song were entering the American charts. Culture Clubs popularity greatly expanded with the release of Karma Chameleon & Colour by Numbers in 1983. Its follow-up, Waking Up With the House on Fire was relatively unsuccessful in America but still a British hit, reaching #2 there.
