Coming Up on VH1 January 16 - January 22, 2004

NEW YORK, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire/ - Coming up on VH1...

"YOU'RE TOO SHY, SHY, HUSH, HUSH, EYE TO EYE"

"I'VE GOT A MEETIN' IN THE LADIES ROOM"

"RELAX, DON'T DO IT, WHEN YOU WANT TO GO TO IT!"*

VH1 Hunts Down Some of Music's Most Beloved Bands in its New Original Series "Bands Reunited" Premiering on Monday, January 19 With 10 Episodes Airing Over 10 Nights.

They had style. They had success. They had drama. They broke up. But would our favorite bands of the past get back together for one more show just for their fans? Where are they? What are they doing? Wonder no more. VH1 has filed its own "missing persons" report in the new original series "Bands Reunited."

VH1's Aamer Haleem, along with a camera crew traveled the globe for several months tracking down members of music's most eclectic, but adored bands including Frankie Goes to Hollywood ("Relax"), Flock of Seagulls ("I Ran"), Klymaxx ("Meetin' In the Ladies Room"), Berlin ("Take My Breath Away"), Kajagoogoo ("Too Shy"), Dramarama ("Anything, Anything"), Romeo Void ("Never Say Never"), The Alarm ("The Stand") and Squeeze ("Tempted") and convince them to get back on stage to play for one night only for their faithful fans. "Bands Reunited" premieres on January 19, at 10:00 pm,* with 10 episodes airing every weeknight for two weeks.

But some reunions proved to be no easy task-these bands broke up for a reason. Some members haven't spoken to each other since their glory days, others endured extreme emotional and physical challenges, while others simply chose to trade in the spotlight for more humble professions. For example, Mike and Ally Score, two brothers that made up one-half of Flock of Seagulls, had not seen or spoken to one another for many years. Benjamin Bossi of Romeo Void can no longer play because of his severe hearing condition. Peter Woods and Mark Englert of Dramarama replaced their microphones to take jobs as a bulldozer driver and insurance salesman, respectively, while Pat Badger from Extreme escaped the hot lights of the stage to become a Llama farmer.
