A-HA: BIGGER THAN DURAN DURAN OR WHAM!?
Perhaps the biggest touring event of the summer—on a par with Prince, the Monkees and Bob Dylan—is that of the Norwegian trio, A-Ha. The group virtually came out of nowhere last year with their smash hit “Take On Me,” from their debut LP, Hunting High And Low, and the song was further propelled into popularity with a video filled with spectacular special effects.
A-HA: BIGGER THAN DURAN DURAN OR WHAM!?
Perhaps the biggest touring event of the summer—on a par with Prince, the Monkees and Bob Dylan—is that of the Norwegian trio, A-Ha. The group virtually came out of nowhere last year with their smash hit “Take On Me,” from their debut LP, Hunting High And Low, and the song was further propelled into popularity with a video filled with spectacular special effects. It didn’t hurt the A-Ha image that the members were all goodlooking guys.
A-Ha made a first-ever stage performance at the last American Grammy Awards. Since then, it's been uphill for the group—they just keep getting hotter and hotter, comparable to superstars such as Duran Duran and Wham! All in just over one year’s time! jalL
Now in the middle of a worldwide tour, A-Ha are predicted to sell out concerts at each of their stops...and they're already working on their second LP, which they’ll finish during the tour (which winds up in their native Norway next January).
