Shark Vegas

Shark Vegas

Shark Vegas was a Berlin based New Wave band, consisting of ex-Factory Records German representative, Mark Reeder (Guitar/tapes/Keyboards), Alistair Gray (Vocals), Leo Walter (Drums/Percussion) and Helmut Wittler (Bass/keyboards). Previously Reeder & Grey were known as "Die Unbekannten" together with their drummer Tommy Wiedler (now with Nick Cave's Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) they later used drum machines and sequencers (in fact Die Unbekannten are credited with making the first record with a Roland TR-606). Today Reeder runs a string of labels included MFS and Flesh, launching the careers of Paul van Dyk and Corvin Dalek.

Shark Vegas reinvented themselves with two new members Walter & Wittler for a New Order European tour in 1984.

"You Hurt me" was one of their concert favorites and Bernard Sumner of New Order wanted to release the track as a single. He also plays guitar at the closing moments of the track. Sumner co-produced the track with A Certain Ratio's Donald Johnson, who also added vocals to the track. A different version to this single was also released on Die Toten Hosen's label "Totenkopf".

A later Shark Vegas track 'Pretenders of Love' can also be found on the Factory US compilation "Young, Popular & Sexy" (Fac US 17).
