Shark Vegas was a Berlin based new wave band, consisting of ex-Factory Records German representative, Mark Reeder (guitar/tapes/keyboards), Alistair Gray (vocals), Leo Walter (drums/percussion) and Helmut Wittler (bass/keyboards).〔(Mark Reeder Official Myspace music ).''Myspace.com''.〕 Previously Reeder and Grey were known as "Die Unbekannten" together with their drummer Tommy Wiedler (now with Nick Cave's Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) they later used drum machines and sequencers. Die Unbekannten are credited with making the first record with a Roland TR-606.〔(Shark Vegas Official Myspace )''Myspace.com'' 〕 Today Reeder runs a string of record labels, including MFS and Flesh, launching the careers of Paul van Dyk and Corvin Dalek.〔(Electronic Beats On Air with Mark Reeder )''Electronicbeats.net 26 November 2009''〕 Shark Vegas reinvented themselves with two new members, Walter and Wittler, for a New Order European tour in 1984. "You Hurt Me" was one of their concert favorites, and Bernard Sumner of New Order wanted to release the track as a single.〔(Shark Vegas Official Myspace music ). ''Myspace.com''〕 He also played guitar at the closing moments of the track. Sumner co-produced the track with A Certain Ratio's Donald Johnson, who also added vocals to the track. A different version to this single was also released on Die Toten Hosen's label "Totenkopf". A later Shark Vegas track, "Pretenders of Love", can also be found on the Factory US compilation album, ''Young, Popular & Sexy'' (Fac US 17). ==Discography== * 1984: "You Hurt Me" ("You Hurt Me"), ("You Hurt Me For The First Time") and ("You Hurt Me For The Last Time") (Totenkopf Schallplatten, Düsseldorf) * 1985: "You Hurt Me" ("But Now Your Flesh Lies Rotting In Hell"), ("You Hurt Me" - Demo Version) produced by Bernard Sumner and Shark Vegas (Factory Records Manchester.
