They hadn’t planned for a career in pop music.
Back in October of 1978, Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys planned to play a one-night gig at a small Liverpool club called Eric’s, so the duo came up with a band name, an unusual one, on a whim the night before their first show.
With more than 40 million records sold and hit dance tracks like “Electricity,” “Enola Gay,” “Secret,” “So in Love,” and perhaps their best-known hit “If You Leave” that appeared on the “Pretty in Pink” soundtrack, the band comes to the Greek Theatre on May 26 as part of their belated 40-year anniversary tour.
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, or OMD, performed at the 2013 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Sunday, April 21. The band comes to the Greek on May 26 as part of their 40-year anniversary tour. .
“It was done on this cheap organ, and that’s how it all started, with just that tease-y piano song,” he said. “So we came up with that name for a one-night gig and we played six songs for about 25 minutes for 30 people, and so this one gig became two gigs and yeah, this hobby thing that was going to be one gig suddenly became a real band that was doing gigs and we released a record and things started to explode really quick,” McCluskey said.
