The Armed Gang
Effective period / Period of releases: 1982 - 1983

Italo synth-funk crossover act from the early 1980s, formed in Vicenza, Italy, by producer Maurizio Sangineto (Sangy) and black soldier vocalists Joe Bunch, Kenny Claiborne and James Otis White Jr. stationed at the nearby US military base. The band was short lived (about 2 to 3 years) due to difficulties keeping the US and Italian band members together.
