men without hats was formed in 1980 - montreal, quebec, canada.

"The new wave synth-pop collective Men Without Hats was formed in 1980 by brothers Ivan and Stefan Doroschuk. Ivan was the leader of the group, writing the majority of the songs and providing the lead vocals; Stefan was the guitarist and the other members changed frequently throughout the course of their career. The group independently released their debut EP, Folk of the 80's, in 1980; it was reissued the following year by Stiff in Britain.
During 1982, the band consisted of Ivan, Stefan, and another brother, keyboardist Colin Doroschuk, along with drummer Allan McCarthy; this is the lineup that recorded Men Without Hats' 1982 debut album Rhythm of Youth. Taken from their debut, the single "The Safety Dance" became a major hit, peaking on the American charts at number three in 1983. Driven by an insistent three-chord synthesizer riff, the song was one of the biggest synth-pop hits of the new wave era."

fanlistings were a wonderful idea from janine at thefanlistings.org. a fanlisting is a place for all fans of a particular show, movie, actor, actress, singer, etc. to come together and build the biggest listing of people from all around the world who are fans of that subject.
it is not a mailing list or a club. you will not receive any email (unless the list moves), propaganda or junk from this fanlist.

this site is not affiliated with or approved by men without hats, ivan doroschuk or any of the other members.
