Kissing The Pink

Biography & Overview

Kissing the Pink is a dance/synth pop group from Scotland and England. Members included Nick Whitecross, Jon Kingsley Hall, George Stewart, Josephine Wells, Pete Barnett, Sylvia Griffin, Simon Aldridge and Steve Cusack. Their first single was "Don't Hide In The Shadows", produced by Martin Hannett, but it wasn't until they changed managers and signed with Magnet Records that they began to get any airplay. They recorded their first album in AIR studios with producer Colin Thurston, who had engineered Bowie's Heroes and later worked with Duran Duran amongst others. Kissing the Pink had wanted Brian Eno to produce the album but Magnet thought Thurston would make a more commercial impact.
