Posted May 14, 200916 yr Yes another 80's pop band reunion :P http://www.retrosellers.com/images/kaj.jpg 1980s pop group Kajagoogoo are to re-form and will stage the first UK tour with their original line-up in more than 25 years, they have announced. The band, fronted by singer Limahl - famed for his mullet hairstyle - had hits in the early 1980s with songs including Ooh To Be Ah and Big Apple. They split months after their biggest hit, Too Shy, went to number one. Limahl, 50 - real name Christopher Hamill - said it had "taken 25 years to grow up". The tour begins in September. Hamill left the band in 1983 and was replaced as lead singer by bass guitarist Nick Beggs. The original five-piece line-up briefly re-formed for VH1's Bands Reunited programme in 2004. source> http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8049363.stm This is hot they look like 25years later> http://www.kajagoogoo.com/images/LB-news.jpg Edited May 14, 200916 yr by Dinno
May 14, 200916 yr oh lord..... all these re-unions are getting beyond a joke now. they were ok 26 years ago, but im very doubtful that these old men (my generation) have got actually anything to say now to todays yoof...
May 14, 200916 yr To be honest they were not very good in 1983 IMHO. Nick Beggs is a great musician who managed to make one great record once the band split up: nGdPBcdHlis Ellis Beggs & Howard - Big Bubbles No Troubles :wub: My fav track they did was Big Apple made after Limahl left to go solo.

May 15, 200916 yr Now watch all the hardcore fans buy their single in the first week so it goes straight into the top 10, and then drop out the top 40 the next week...
May 15, 200916 yr Whoever their PR people are - chuck them an award - they've had more press in the past 2 days than they ever had when they were out the first time. This is not a reunion to be celebrated, it's one to be worried by...who the hell will be next? The Sydney Youngblood comeback tour? Tasmin Archer's greatest hits?
May 15, 200916 yr Leighton Buzzards the place that brought us The Barron Knights oh dear! Kagagoo were only slightly better.
May 15, 200916 yr Tasmin Archer's greatest hits? I'd love to see that - I can't think of any songs from her other than Sleeping Satellite.
