Teilen
Sänger und Keyboarder Mike Score gründete 1979 A Flock Of Seagulls, verpasste sich eine durchgeknallte Frisur und führte seine Band an die Spitze der britischen Synthie-Pop-Bewegung. "I Ran (So Far Away)" (1982, UK #43, USA #9, D #31) und "Wishing (If I Had A Photograph Of You)" (1982, UK #10, USA #26, D #37) gehören zu den besten New-Wave-Songs der frühen Achtziger. Die Band löste sich 1986 auf, um unter der Regie von Mike Score ab 1988 in den unterschiedlichsten Konstellationen wieder zurückzukehren. An einstige Erfolge konnten A Flock Of Seagulls nicht wieder anknüpfen, der Band-Chef zeigte sich aber sehr umtriebig, trat häufig auf und organisierte Aufnahmen mit Sinfonierorchestern, die die Originalmitglieder wieder zusammenführten. Daraus entstanden zwei LPs (2018 und 2021). Mike Score wird am 5. November 65 Jahre alt.
Singer and keyboardist Mike Score formed A Flock Of Seagulls in 1979, gave himself a wacky haircut and led his band to the top of the British Synth-Pop movement. "I Ran (So Far Away)" (1982, UK #43, USA #9, G #31) and "Wishing (If I Had A Photograph Of You)" (1982, UK #10, USA #26, G #37) are among the best New Wave songs of the early eighties. The band broke up in 1986, only to return in 1988 under the direction of Mike Score in a variety of constellations. A Flock Of Seagulls were unable to regain their former success, but the band's leader was very active, performing frequently and organizing recordings with symphony orchestras that reunited the original members. This resulted in two LPs (2018 and 2021). Mike Score will be 65 years old on November 5.
