Thompson Twins (named after the detectives Thomson and Thompson in the Tintin comics) was formed in 1977 in Sheffield by Tom Bailey and guitarists John Roog and Peter Dodd, with drummer Chris Bell joining soon afterwards after some line-up changes. They arrived in London and self-released their debut single "Squares And Triangles" in 1980. After their 1981 debut album, they recruited The Soft Boys's bassist Matthew Seligman, New Zealand saxophonist Alannah Currie, and percussionist Joe Leeway, forming a septet. After the group completed their second album, "Set", Dodd and Roog left to form the short lived act Big View.
