The Buggles

The Buggles were a pop/rock band formed in 1977 consisting of Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes. They had re-teamed after an earlier incarnation, Camera Club, which had also included Bruce Wooley, Thomas Dolby, and Hans Zimmer (Academy Award-winning film composer). The Buggles achieved fame with their first single, "Video Killed the Radio Star", a number-one hit in the UK charts, whose video launched nascent cable network MTV on August 1, 1981.
