A Flock Of Seagulls Artist Bio and LyricsThe 80's English synthpop band A Flock of Seagulls was originally formed by brothers Mike (keyboards, vocals) and Ali Score (drums), with Frank Maudsley (bass) and Paul Reynolds (guitar) in Liverpool. A Flock of Seagulls achieved noteriety with the video for their song "I Ran" which showcased the lead singer Mike Score's one of a kind hairdo. To this day they remain firmly identified with the song, and the early days of MTV in the 80's. A Flock of Seagulls first self titled, full length album was released in 1982. The band initially had trouble making any radio play headway with the single "I Ran". That is, until MTV began playing the now famous video for the song. Initially charting in July of 1982, a Flock of Seagull's "I Ran" took a long time to reach the Billboard Top 10. The song finally peaked at No. 9 for a couple of weeks near the end of October 1982. The album also reached the Top 10, selling over 500,000 copies. A Flock of Seagulls had a decent follow-up hit to "I Ran", called "A Space Aged Love Song." The song reached the Top 30 in February of 1983. A Flock of Seagulls follow-up album "Listen" was released in the Spring of 1983. The single "Wishing" was released as the band's single for radio play. While the song stalled low in the U.S. Top 30, it became the only Flock of Seagulls song to chart in the U.K. |
