Band,
Rock and Pop
Max was formed in late 80s by Kevin Mooney and Leslie Winer. Signing to Chrysalis, they released a single "Little Ghost" (later to be covered by Boy George). An album, "One Thousand + 1 Nights", produced by Marco Pirroni, was never released. Mooney regrouped Max with drummer John Reynolds. The group was renamed Lomax when they signed to ZTT. A Trevor Horn produced album (also to be titled "1001 Nights", cat# ZTT 5) was shelved by the label when lead single Waiting For Vain was not a hit. Leaving ZTT, the group transferred to another WEA subsidiary (Red Dot Records), went through another line-up change, changed their name back to Max and de-Horned the album to give it a rockier edge, retitling it "Silence Running". The album and its singles stiffed, Warners dropped them, and the band split in 1994. Members John Keogh and Matthew Ashman died shortly after.
