About the Bachelors
Bachelors Anonymous (1984–1992) was an L.A. band composed of Robert Berg and David Hughes. Their music is quintessentially 80s synthpop: lush landscapes, stark electronic dance club beats, moody cocktail tunes. Their lyrics reflect the entanglement of unrequited, misplaced, and transactional love; of relationships, delusionally lucid. For more on the Bachelors see About and articles listed on Timeline.

Reviews
The music of Bachelors Anonymous shows elements borrowed from such liberated groups as Bronski Beat, Communards, and Erasure. These points are mixed with classical (as opposed to classic) elements from a shared love of folk and church music.
— Tom Kidd, Music Connection (’88, ’87)
Combining percussion and synthesizer with voice, [the Bachelors] display an impressive audio palette. … “We provide entertainment, not lies,” adds Berg.
— Stuart Timmons, Advocate (’88)
[The Bachelors are] Los Angeles musicians whose work combines a tongue-in-cheek, sleaze-novel sensibility with gay political observations.
— Sharon McDonald, L.A. Style (’89)
