Scotch were an Italian Italo disco band formed in Italy in 1982. The group consisted of Vince Lancini, Fabio Margutti, Franz Rome, Franz Felleti and Manlio Cangelli.

History[]

Scotch was created by David Zambelli and Walter Verdi, both record producers from Bergamo. The group's first success was "Penguins' Invasion", written by Manlio Cangelli. "Penguins' Invasion" was an instrumental piece; about 3 months after its release, it was decided to create a vocal version and Vince Lancini was chosen as singer. Later he joined the group with Fabio Margutti and Vince Lancini. Among their most known tracks are "Take Me Up", "Disco Band", "Mirage", "Delirio Mind", "Penguins' Invasion", "Evolution", "Plus Plus", "Money Runner", "Pictures" and "Man to Man".

The band had numerous hits, including the 1984 single "Disco Band" which was a major hit in Germany and other countries. That same year, they released their first album, Evolution.

"Evolution" was the next single which was a huge hit in Sweden. Other songs were "Plus Plus" and "Money Runner".

"Disco Band" was sampled on Scooter's 2007 hit single "Lass uns tanzen", and "Penguins' Invasion" continues to be popular, appearing on various Italo disco compilations and retrospectives.
