Yazoo
Yazoo (known as Yaz in the U.S.) are an English synthpop duo from Basildon, Essex. They had a number of top ten hits in the British charts in the early 1980s. It was formed in late 1981 by former Depeche Mode songwriter Vince Clarke (synthesizer) and English singer Alison Moyet (vocals), and was signed to Mute Records in the United Kingdom.
Yazoo's debut single "Only You" backed with "Situation," was released on March 15 1982 and rose to number two in the UK charts. Yazoo released successful studio albums, Upstairs at Eric's in 1982 and the more successful You and Me Both in 1983. Shortly after, Moyet and Clarke decided to break up. Moyet pursued a solo career while Clarke founded Erasure, another synth pop group. Yazoo reunited in 2008 with a tour in Europe and the United States and the release of a four-disc box set.
Though short-lived, Yazoo continues to influence and inspire many of today's bands, including LCD Soundsystem, Shiny Toy Guns and Blaqk Audio.

On Wednesday, the queen of this year's VMAs was hard at work in Los Angeles on the video for "Womanizer." In the clip, Britney sports a vampy look — a short black wig, red lipstick, black leather pants and fake tattoos — and plays a waitress, just like she did in the video for "(You Drive Me) Crazy." She's also once again working with director Joseph Khan, who previously helmed her clips for "Stronger" and "Toxic." According to People.com, the video was shot at the Elevate Lounge in the Takami Sushi & Robata restaurant, and dancers were dressed in waiters' uniforms.
