| Buggles were a British New Wave duo consisting of Trevor Horn (vocals, bass guitar, guitar) and Geoff Downes (keyboards, synthesizers, electric piano, piano, drums, percussion, backing vocals). Best remembered for their 1979 debut single "Video Killed the Radio Star", a #1 hit on the singles charts of sixteen countries, the song's music video was the first shown on MTV in the U.S.A. at 12:01 on August 1, 1981. The same year, a second album: ''Adventures In Modern Recording'' was released, but due to Island Records reading a music critique review in which the writer assumed they were splitting up as Geoff Downes moved onto working with ''Asia'', they were dropped and moved to Carrere Records instead. The album didn't perform as well and so they split up only to perform live occasionally in the 00's. |
