Kajagoogoo ( ) were an English pop band. They are best known for their 1983 hit single "Too Shy", which reached No. 1 on the UK singles chart, and the top 10 in numerous other countries.
==History== ===Beginnings (1978–1982)=== Formed in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, in 1978, the band were originally known as Art Nouveau, a four-piece avant-garde group, with Nick Beggs on bass guitar, Steve Askew on lead guitar, Stuart Croxford Neale on keyboards, and Jez Strode on drums. In 1981 Art Nouveau recorded and self-released a single, "Fear Machine/Animal Instincts", which sold a few hundred copies and allegedly got airtime on John Peel's show. The B-side of Art Nouveau's single was re-recorded for the B-side of the "Ooh to Be Ah" 7-inch single. In spite of the single and continuous local live performances, the band failed to secure a record deal during this period.
