MUSIC NEWS- New Wave band The Buggles are reuniting for one-night on September 28, 2010, co-founder Trevor Horn has announced. "The Buggles - along with some very special guest artists - will perform live on stage for one night only," a posting on his website reads. The concert has the original line-up performing their debut album The Age of Plastic in full "at a special and intimate West London venue".
The group is best known for their 1979 number onetune, Video Killed The Radio Star (video of which kicked off the MTV network two years later). The Buggles only released two albums before they split in 1981, and they never went on tour. Horn and Downes joined prog rockers YES for one release and tour
after the departure of YES members, Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman. Horn later went on to become one of the UK's more influential pop producers, recording with Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Pet Shop Boys and Seal. Downes continues to work to this day with his YES bandmate, Steve Howe in ASIA who are currently on tour in the USA.
Proceeds from the September show will be donated to the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability in London.
