Onetwowere an Englishsynth-popduo formed in 2000 by singerClaudia Brücken(Propaganda) and keyboardist/singerPaul Humphreys(Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark). Their collaboration had no name until 2004.
History
[edit]Brücken and Humphreys met in the early 1980s and became romantically involved in 1996. The two started working together on material for a planned Propaganda album, but when the Propaganda reunion fell through, the pair concentrated on working on their own songs. In 2000 the duo toured the United States, where they played songs by both OMD and Propaganda,[1]along with some new material.[2]
After four years of writing the duo finally recorded a five-track EP entitledItem,released in June 2004 via their own label, There(there). They also gave their first live performance as Onetwo at theCarling Academy Islingtonin London on 30 September 2004.[3]
In 2006, they performed live atLeicester Cathedralin August and at the London venue Too2Much in November. This was followed by a three-date Central/South American tour the same month. Onetwo's debut studio album,Instead,was released in February 2007 by There(there). In April, Onetwo toured Germany. Later that year they supportedErasureandthe Human League.
In March 2013, Brücken and Humphreys ceased living and working together.
