Career

Tonight along with The Rich Kids, were the first acts to be described as power pop, a new UK music genre term in 1978, initially mentioned by Charles Catchpole, in the Evening Standard, 'Rock Notes' section, on 17 January 1978.[1] Tonight scored the first hit for the power pop movement in February 1978, with "Drummer Man" reaching No.14 in the UK Singles Chart.[2] Their next single "Money (That's Your Problem)" charted reached No.66;[2] but two more singles were released plus an album was recorded.

Lack of further successes leaves them labelled as a one-hit wonder.
