You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Vicious Pink''' is a [[synth-pop]] [[Duet (music)|duo]] formed in [[Leeds]], England in 1981. They reformed for a new album in 2023 and will perform live again in 2024.((cn|date=December 2023))

== History ==
With a catchy sound and a penchant for highly provocative and sexualized lyrics, the band's music was aimed toward clubs rather than commercial hits. Vicious Pink consisted of two members, [[English people|English]]/[[French people|French]] [[singing|singer]] Josephine Warden and [[keyboardist]] Brian Moss. The duo began as [[backing vocalist]]s for [[Soft Cell]], then known as Vicious Pink Phenomena.

Vicious Pink are remembered for four dance singles: "8:15 to Nowhere", "[[Cccan't You See]]", and "Fetish" [[record producer|produced]] by [[Tony Mansfield]] of [[New Musik]] fame. Their last single "Take Me Now" was produced by Gary Moberley . 

The band also backed [[Soft Cell]] at The Warehouse in Leeds. The American owner of The Warehouse, Mike Wiand, was their manager. Wiand was also a key factor in the success of the 1980s dance track "[[Let the Music Play (song)|Let the Music Play]]" by [[Shannon (American singer)|Shannon]], which was released in the UK on his [[Warehouse Records]] label. Vicious Pink played live at The Ritz in [[New York City|New York]] in December 1984.

Vicious Pink were able to briefly attain a [[Cult following|cult]] level of success without ever breaking into the mainstream.  Although they had started releasing music in 1982, they failed to attract much attention until the release of the single "[[Cccan't You See]]" ([[UK Singles Chart|UK]] No.&nbsp;67<ref name="British Hit Singles & Albums">((cite book

In 1983, the duo recorded two unreleased [[demo (music)|demo]], ''Blue'' and ''The Tape Gallery'', and a self-titled album released in 1986, after they had ceased recording. This album was a collection of previously released singles.

Warden later married a [[London]]-based music lawyer, and Moss continued his music career; he is now((when|date=June 2022)) the keyboardist for the artist, Mirazma.

In 2015, Vicious Pink released [https://viciouspink.bandcamp.com/album/kings-of-the-mountains-mixes-ep various mixes of "Kings of the Mountains"], a 2012 track.

In 2019, Vicious Pink described [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAddLQKUk_o "Organiclon Sentient Ship"] as new music.

In 2022, Vicious Pink released the double LP ''West View'', containing remasters and demos.<ref>((cite web | url=https://minimalwave.com/articles/article/vicious-pink-west-view-2lp | title=Minimal Wave Records &#124; Articles &#124; Vicious Pink - West View 2LP ))</ref>

On 21 September 2023 during a live stream of Soft Cell and Vicious Pink music and rarities hosted by Dakeyene on Twitch TV, Josie confirmed the band would release a new album, ''Unexpected'' on [[Minimal Wave Records]] before the end of the year and debuted a new song, "Not Your Kind of Girl", and that they would reform for live dates the following year.((cn|date=December 2023))
