Culture Club is an alternative pop band from London, England that is perhaps best-known for popularizing the synthetic "new romantic" genre of pop rock as well as for its famed androgynous front man Boy George. Finding a successful formula by combining the popular new wave style with various other styles such as soul, reggae and calypso, Culture Club managed to score several hits throughout the 1980s and became and iconic band throughout the US and the UK. While the band's debut album Kissing to Be Clever was the first album to have three Top 10 hits in the United States since The Beatles' debut, Culture Club's true break out success would come in the form of its second album, Colour by Numbers, released in 1983. Although the band had since disbanded and reunited briefly in the late 1990s, Culture Club has taken to the road on many occasions, including an extended reunion in 2011.
