New VH1 "Bands Reunited" episodes...set your T

I know! That was a shame.

Martin Frye was always one of my favorite voices in rock/pop (I also really love Jeff Heiskell's voice – from the Judybats). I didn't think Martin sounded in full voice, but I'm sure he's hitting it now if he's back on the road. It's kind of amazing they only give them a day to rehearse.

And it was pretty fun to have the Kajagoogoo guy playing with them!

You can add Martin Fry w/ ABC to the list of shows I'd like to see. Martin's voice is in great shape and from his website it appears he has a fine group backing him. It's shame drummer David Palmers is off playing with that ponce Rod Stewart but the moolah is better than any full time gig with ABC that is for sure.

Geeee, Martin Fry or Rod Stewart? Martin Fry or Rod Stewart? Martin Fry or Rod Stewart? I'd say that was a pretty easy choice for David Palmer to make.

no spoiler on the english beat show… but i recommend it for anyone interested in the early days of the uk punk and ska scene

I'm really digging this series, they do a most excellent job of providing the history of the bands early days and the scenes they were involved.

I was fascinated as Dave Wakeling and Rankin' Roger went over the early days of the band. The idea of having a party with one dj spinning punk on side of the room and switching with a dj spinning ska would have been fab.

However it was Saxa who completely stole the show, just how cool would it be to hang with him… This might be my most favorite episode yet.

does anyone know if they plan on repeating these episodes, much like they did with the first go-round of episodes? I completely missed all of the second round.

I thought it was pretty cruel walking these guys into a room where they thought the others were waiting

having promoted most of those bands back then, and seeing how they look now…whoa

does this mean I am getting old too?

They're going to have another 'series' of four to six shows, so I'll bet at some point there will be a Bands Reunited Marathon to get the buzz going, just like last time for the 'second series' of shows. It's BH-1, at some point you'll *always* get to see their shows.
