Early career
Starting his career as a member of the band Jules and the Polar Bears, Hague simultaneously started his production career by producing (with Jules Shear) the 2 albums and one EP by that band released between 1978 and 1980. He then branched out into producing work by other artists, including 1980s Sparks offshoot band Gleaming Spires, their first album being recorded on Hague's home 4 track. This 1981 album spawned the L.A. radio hit "Are You Ready For The Sex Girls" on the Posh Boy label, a recording subsequently featured in Hollywood features The Last American Virgin, and Revenge of the Nerds. Hague and Shear teamed up to produce both albums by new-wavers Slow Children in 1981 and '82; Hague also co-produced Elliot Easton's 1985 solo album Change No Change.
Commercial successes
Hague's first noted UK production was on Malcolm McLaren's "Madam Butterfly" single. He later worked with Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Public Image Ltd., Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Melanie C, Peter Gabriel, Dubstar, Erasure and Robbie Robertson, producing the hits "(Forever) Live and Die", "West End Girls", "True Faith", "Regret", "Star" and "A Little Respect." He was also the producer responsible for the biggest success Siouxsie and the Banshees had in the US, with their 1991 single "Kiss Them For Me".
