MB1 Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 MB1. Bit of a "Ashes To Ashes" moment Kajagoogoo on the Television and announcing there 2009 Tour.Mr Limahl sang a live vocal,looked like the band were miming??.Nick Beggs Bassist who has always reminded me of the Guitarist out of Mud in his fashion sense ,seemed to be wearing a pinstriped smock/dress sort of thing?...Looked very strange! ..Blonde Musicman Stingray......Nice to hear that Classic Bassline again!....Nick is a very Underated bassist.... Lot of 80s bands back in the spotlight again!.... Good Thing? or does.......Frankie Say.... "No More!"???????? Quote

Good Thing? or does.......Frankie Say.... "No More!"????????[/quote] Yes - a very good thing in my view, the '80's being my favourite decade music-wise. Seems a lot of other people must feel the same, since if there wasn't a market out there, there wouldn't be much point in all these bands re-forming. I wouldn't like to be drawn on what that says about the current music scene though.....? Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 It's just nostalgia for the music people grew up with in their teens. You'll find it happens for every generation. That, and the pension thing! Quote

51m0n Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Kajagoogoo I hated them with a passion and I was only 13. Class! Quote
Clarky Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 DJ Paul Gambaccini used to wake up to Kajagoogoo The 80s revival brings to mind the phrase 'nostalgia isn't what it used to be' Quote

The 80's was largely a torrid pile of fermenting gerbils p155 dressed up in rubbish clothes The pop scene was diabolical IMO (can you say Five Star?) Up until the death of the indie charts there was at least something to listen to, sometimes (Fuzzbox' Bostin Steve Austin was a cracking album!). I consider that death to have been Erasure and Kylie Minogue both getting to no 1 in the Indie charts. The cheek! Mind you, I hate The Smiths with a passion too, and all that New Romantic cobblers. I did like Public Enemy, and The Beastie Boys (esp Paul's Boutique), and quite a lot of the early Electro stuff, but that was a loooongg way from mainstream (ignoring Doug E Fresh - please!) Two Tone was great but that lasted about 5 minutes, and some of the goth stuff was a laugh, but come on Kajagoogoo, get the hell out of here!!! I dont care how good a bassist he was or wasnt, it was an awfulawfulawfulawfulawful band! Thank god for dodgy punk clubs bashing out Stooges tracks, I'd not have survived but for that and early thrash Quote

MB1 Posted May 14, 2009 Author Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) MB1.

bigjohn Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 I used to work with someone who drove a white Lotus Esprit which belonged to a member of Kagagoogoo. Now there's a tenuous claim to fame. Quote
