In what year did The Hacienda open and release their first single "Go Exciting"?
Quando Quango Quando Quango was a British electronic music group, formed by The Haçienda DJ and Factory Records A&R man Mike Pickering, Hillegonda Rietveld and Reinier Rietveld. Their unique sound influenced the underground dance music scenes in New York and Chicago in the 1980s. Their first release was the "Go Exciting" twelve-inch single on Factory Records in 1982, and their last release of new music was the 1985 full-length album "Pigs + Battleships" (reissued on CD in 2003 and 2013).
Open Fire (Y&amp;T album) Open Fire was the first live album released by American hard rock/heavy metal band Y&T. It was released in 1985 by A&M Records. The live material was recorded at various locations earlier in that same year. All of the tracks are live, with the exception of "Summertime Girls," which is the studio version. The song would eventually become the band's biggest hit. The studio version of the song also appeared on the band's next proper studio album, "Down for the Count", which was released in November 1985. The material used on this album was recorded after the release of their previous album (1984's "In Rock We Trust"), but none of those songs appeared on this album.
