ABOUT FLOCK OF SEAGULLS
A Flock of Seagulls may well be known for their bizarrely teased haircuts as much as their hit single “I Ran (So Far Away).” They were one of prime movers in the ’80s New Wave era, growing out of the synth-heavy and ruthlessly stylish new romantic movement. Hairdresser, Mike Score (lead vocals, keyboards), formed A Flock of Seagulls with his brother Ali (drums), and fellow hairdresser, Frank Maudsley (bass), in 1980, adding guitarist, Paul Reynolds several months later.
The band signed a major-label contract with Jive by the end of the year, and their eponymous debut album appeared in the spring of 1982. “I Ran (So Far Away)” was released as the first single from the album, and MTV quickly picked up on its icily attractive video, which featured long shots of Mike Score and his distinctive, cascading hair. The single climbed into the American Top Ten, taking the album along with it. In the U.K., “I Ran” didn’t make the Top 40, but “Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)” reached number ten later that year; in America, that single became a Top 40 Hit in 1983.
A Flock of Seagulls never really broke up. Mike carried on touring with session musicians and quietly, surely and steadily the folk lore surrounding the band began to grow. The references in culture from TV (Ross’s Haircut in “Friends”), Computer Games (‘I Ran’ was the standout track on Grand Theft Auto Radio), Film (The band and haircut are reference in Pulp Fiction, X-Men and The Wedding Singer) cemented the bands reputation and brought the band to a whole new legion of fans.
ABOUT STACEY Q
Best known for her ‘80s dance-pop smash, “Two of Hearts,” Stacey Q’s style and youthfulness appealed to teens and clubgoers alike. Born Stacey Swain, she first began performing with the Ringling Brothers Circus and joined the Synth Pop group, Q (named after the James Bond gadget man) in the early ‘80s. As the focus of the group shifted to its new vocalist, their name changed to SSQ (for Stacey Swain) and they landed a deal with Enigma Records, releasing an album, titled Playback, in 1983. It went largely unnoticed, however, and the rechristened Stacey Q pursued a solo career. She eventually signed with Atlantic and made her solo debut in 1986 with the LP Better Than Heaven. The lead single, “Two of Hearts,” soared into the pop Top Five of the Billboard Hot 100, making Stacey Q a hot commodity; she performed on the sitcom “The Facts of Life” and scored another Top 40 hit with the follow-up, “We Connect.”
