SynopsisAfter over 15 years of 'radio silence' from synthpop super-band Soft Cell (perhaps best known for their hit song 'Tainted Love'), Dave Ball and Marc Almond reformed to play in front of a sell out crowd in 2018 at London's O2 arena. This is Dave Ball's story, covering his life and illustrious career, beginning with his childhood in Blackpool, his friendship with fellow band member Marc Almond, to his journey with Soft Cell and his life after the band., As one half of celebrated eighties duo Soft Cell, Dave Ball's long career in music has been an incredible ride, not least in creating the instantly recognisable electronic sound that made 'Tainted Love' a massive his around the world. In his revealing autobiography Dave Ball recounts a musical journey from his first home-made amplifier to falling for northern soul and becoming an electronic pop wizard, first with Soft Cell and later with The Grid. Dave has also pursued a dazzling array of collaborations as well as intermittent reformations of Soft Cell and The Grid. Electronic Boy is a compelling story from start to finish, told with relish, humour and honesty.
