Alison Moyet was the singer in a punk band called The Vandals, based in her home-town of Basildon in 1978; Robert Marlow was also in the band under the moniker ‘the guitarist with no name’ – he was childhood friends with Vince Clarke and Andy Fletcher from Boys Brigade – who formed Depeche Mode with another friend Martin Gore. Vince Clarke left Depeche Mode in 1981 to form Yazoo with Alison Moyet. Posted on June 17, 2019June 17, 2019 by pophole
