Modern English
DAY 2: Saturday @ 1:00 – 1:45 on West Stage
The summery hooks and warm lyrics of Modern English’s biggest hit, “I Melt With You,” gave listeners the impression that the band was an upbeat pop act in the early ’80s. “I Melt With You” was actually an anomaly in Modern English’s early discography. Inspired by the stylish gloom of Bauhaus and Joy Division, Modern English released the singles “Swans on Glass” and “Gathering Dust” before recording their 1981 debut LP Mesh & Lace. A year later, the group streamlined their sound, dropping much of Mesh & Lace’s gothic experimentation on After the Snow. “I Melt With You” was included on the Valley Girl soundtrack, and its video became an MTV staple.
