Buggles

Buggles

The Buggles were a UK electropop / new wave group that formed in 1977, consisting of Trevor Horn (vocals, bass guitar, guitar) and Geoff Downes (keyboards). The Buggles' sound was characterised by a deliberately synthetic quality in keeping with the technological subject matter of their songs. The group had a smash hit with the first single from their debut album The Age of Plastic. Song Video Killed The Radio star famously provided the 1st music video ever played on MTV (on August 1, 1981). Read more on Last.fm
