[edit] Early years

The band was formed in 1981 when friends Paul Buchanan (born April 16 1956, Glasgow) and Robert Bell met Paul Joseph Moore after graduating from the University of Glasgow in the late 1970s.[1] Although their individual degrees didn't reflect their future career trajectory (English Literature, Electronics and Mathematics, respectively), their mutual friendship grew out of their shared interest in music, and they began writing and recording together.

Previously Robert and Paul were the key members of the band Night by Night who had a small but enthusiastic following in the Glasgow area - they had made demos of songs like 'Rio' and 'Stay'
