Soft Cell

Soft Cell is a British electronic pop duo formed in Leeds in 1979, with Marc Almond on vocals and Dave Ball on synthesizers. Their cover of Gloria Jones's "Tainted Love" reached number one in the United Kingdom in 1981, and their debut album, Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret, followed later that year.

The recordings pair Dave Ball's synthesizer work with Marc Almond's vocals, and the duo's catalog spans several albums and singles from the early 1980s onward. The band's sound is rooted in synthesizer pop, while the title of its debut points to a cabaret influence in its imagery and presentation.

The Magnolia in El Cajon hosts concerts and shows, and this booking adds Soft Cell to its calendar. The night suits listeners who follow early 1980s synthesizer pop and the songs that made the duo's name.
