Quando Quango

Anglo-Dutch electronic music group formed in 1981 consisting of Mike Pickering, Hillegonda "Gonnie" Rietveld and Reinier Rietveld. The band were signed by Factory Records, releasing several singles beginning with 'Go Exciting' in 1982. However, in 1983 Reinier left the group to remain in Rotterdam, with Simon Topping becoming the group's percussionist. Following this, the band's only album 'Pigs + Battleships' was released in 1985. The band influenced the dance music scenes in New York and Chicago during the 1980s and split up in 1987.
