Paul Haig, born Paul on September 4, 1960, in Edinburgh, Scotland, was a Scottish indie musician, singer, and songwriter. His early musical influences included The Beatles, David Bowie, and the Velvet Underground. Haig's first band, Josef K, formed in 1979 with schoolmates Malcolm Ross and Ronnie Torrance. The post-punk band released five singles between 1979 and 1981 and an album, The Only Fun in Town, before disbanding in August 1981 due to internal disagreements and Haig's dislike of touring. Following Josef K's split, Paul Haig signed with the Belgian independent label Les Disques du Crépuscule for his solo career. He released two interim singles under the moniker Rhythm of Life Organization (RoL), including "Running Away", which reached Number 19 on the UK Independent Chart in May 1982. His second album, The Warp Of Pure Fun, was released in March 1985. Haig continued to release albums throughout his career, including Chain (1989), Cinematique (vol 1) (January 1991), and compilation Then Again (June 2004).
