Name



The name Huang Chung literally translates from Chinese as "yellow bell", but

refers to the standardized bass pitch of ancient China. Early on the band

summarized the definition as "perfect pitch" and later, on American

Bandstand, they claimed it was the sound a guitar made.



Originally called Huang Chung the band formed in 1979. The lineup consisted

of vocalist/guitarist Jack Hues, bassist Nick Feldman, and drummer Darren

Costin. Hues originally met Feldman after answering Feldman's ad for a

musician in the classifieds section of the weekly British music magazine Melody

Maker in 1977.



Soon afterwards, Hues and Feldman formed with Bud Merrick and the late

Paul Hammond in late 1977/early 1978 as 'The Intellektuals'. In less than a

year, the band split up, as Hues and Feldman joined up with future Wang

Chung drummer Darren Costin, along with keyboardists Simon Campbell,

Leigh Gorman and Glenn Gregory, to form '57 Men'. This lineup lasted for less

than a year as well.



Huang Chung's self-titled debut album was released by Arista Records in

1982 after several singles, including the minor post-punk hit "Isn't It About

Time We Were on TV". In 1983, after being dropped by Arista and signed to

Geffen Records, they changed their name to Wang Chung (at Geffen's

suggestion, to make pronunciation easier for English-speakers—consistent

with the claim by VH1's Pop Up Video that they changed it because people

kept calling them "Hung Chung") — and subsequently they released Points on

the Curve, which yielded two major hits, "Don't Let Go" (#36 US) and "Dance

Hall Days" (#16 US).
