The duo of Nick Feldman and Jack Hues came out of the post-punk/new wave scene in the UK, and went on to achieve global success selling millions of records. Throughout their 40+ year career, they have released 6 studio albums and 2 greatest hits collections. They have had 6 US Top 40 hits, including a massive #1 single. They composed and performed the complete score for the 1984 neo-noir action thriller film “To Live and Die in L.A.” and also the song ‘Fire in the Twilight’ for the legendary film ‘Breakfast Club’, amongst many others. Wang Chung’s hit song ‘Dance Hall Days’ was featured almost in its entirety in the 2024 hit movie starring Anne Hathaway titled ‘The Idea of You’.  ‘To Live and Die in LA’ also got used as the theme tune for the John Mulaney Netflix show ‘Everybody’s in LA’. In the process of all of this (and somewhat unintentionally), Wang Chung became part of the contemporary culture of North America with their huge smash ‘Everybody Have Fun Tonight’, with its now famous line ”Everybody Wang Chung Tonight” which saw the invention of a new US verb: ”to Wang Chung’’.

From Wang Chung:
“Our songs often have an accessible front end, but there’s always a deeper layer beneath the surface—whether it’s lyrically or musically. ‘Clear Light, Dark Matter’ reflects that balance between the light and the dark, the yin and yang, or as we like to say, the Wang and the Chung of what we do.” -Nick Feldman

The ’80s were full of party dance anthems, and one of the era’s most memorable is Wang Chung‘s 1986 hit, Everybody Have Fun Tonight. On September 27th, 2024, the song returns with a new remix by acclaimed remixer Eric Kupper, known for his work with artists such as Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys, Depeche Mode, Diana Ross, and Earth, Wind & Fire.

Wang Chung’s Nick Feldman and Jack Hues were immediately impressed with Kupper’s remix, describing it as vibrant, infectious, and full of dynamic energy that breathes new life into the song while preserving its original shape.

Reflecting on the band’s cultural impact, Brad LeBeau, President and Founder of Pro Motion, the global leader in DJ and Club promotion, commented:
“Given the world’s obsession with music from the 1980s and 90s, the Eric Kupper 2024 remix of ‘Everybody Have Fun Tonight’ by Wang Chung has risen above the pack at the domestic and international club culture deejay, specialty radio programmer, and music consumer social media levels.”

Everybody Have Fun Tonight, with its now-famous line, “Everybody Wang Chung Tonight,” saw the invention of a new US verb – ‘to Wang Chung.’ Icons such as Homer Simpson and Frasier Crane name-checked the band on TV, and Wang Chung even achieved punch-line status in the movie The Spy Who Shagged Me.

Beyond their chart-topping hits, Wang Chung became a multi-media sensation, contributing to the soundtracks of dozens of commercials, films, and T.V. shows. Their critically acclaimed score for William Friedkin’s To Live and Die in L.A. in 1985 is one of their most iconic contributions to cinema, solidifying their influence in pop culture and the film industry.

Eric Kupper’s remix marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Wang Chung, further cementing their legacy of timeless dance anthems and multimedia influence.

Emerging from the UK’s post-punk/new wave scene, Wang Chung went on to achieve worldwide success, selling millions of records. Over their 40-year career, they’ve released six studio albums and two greatest hits collections, with six US Top 40 hits, including a massive #1 single and two chart-topping dance tracks. Along the way, Wang Chung’s influence and relevance have made them a pop culture staple.

Wang Chung’s music continues to resonate, appearing in countless commercials, films, video games, and TV shows. Now, they embark on a new chapter with Eric Kupper’s remix of Everybody Have Fun Tonight.

In early 2025, the remix will be featured on Wang Chung’s upcoming vinyl retrospective Clear Light / Dark Matter. This deluxe collector’s edition will include a 7” single with the dub and club mixes of the track. For updates and preorder details, visit: http://www.singmarket.com/market/wangchung/cldm/deluxe
