Matt Bianco are a British band formed in 1983, performing sophisti-pop, jazz-funk and Latin-flavoured music. From around mid- to late-80s, the group scored a number of internationally charting singles, including „Get Out of Your Lazy Bed”, „Whose Side Are You On?”, „Half a Minute”, „Yeh Yeh” and „Don’t Blame It on That Girl”.
The group’s name suggests that Matt Bianco is a person, often assumed to be an alias for the main member and front man Mark Reilly. According to the group, however, Matt is in fact „a made up spy, a secret agent; we loved spy TV themes and film scores; we were really into that 60s spy movie image”.[5][6] Initially, the line-up included Danny White and Basia Trzetrzelewska, who left the band to focus on Basia’s solo career, but rejoined Matt Bianco briefly in the mid-2000s.
