A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS...OR, A SEAGULL STANDS ALONE

A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS REALLY ONLY HAD ONE HIT SONG, BUT THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE MUSIC AND VIDEO SCENE IN THE EARLY 1980'S IS UN-DENIABLE. THE SINGLE "I RAN", FROM THEIR FIRST ALBUM, TOPPED THE MUSIC CHARTS AND WAS PLAYED IN HEAVY ROTATION ON THE -THEN NEW MTV. THE BAND HAD ANOTHER MINOR HIT WITH "WISHING (I HAD A PHOTOGRAPH OF YOU), BUT NEVER ACHIEVED THE SUCCESS OF THEIR DEBUT SINGLE,, AND FELL APART IN 1985. FOR THE NEXT 18 YEARS, LEAD SINGER MIKE SCORE TOURED AND RECORDED WITH VARIOUS VERSIONS OF "AFOS". IN NOVEMBER, 2008, VH-1'S BANDS RE-UNITED SHOW BROUGHT THE GROUP BACK TOGETHER, BUT NOT FOR LONG. IN SEPTEMBER,2004,THEY RE-GROUPED AGAIN, PLAYING A HANDFUL OF SHOWS, BEFORE BREAKING UP YET AGAIN. MIKE SCORE CONTINUES TO TOUR WITH DIFFERENT LINE-UP'S, UNDER THE NAME A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS.
