Downes definitely NOT on Buggles tour

[Grey Wolf]

This ad suggests Mr Downes is along for the road 😘





or are they lazily just usin' an old photo?

Maybe Downes is just there in spirit since he's shaded red instead of like the others.

[Gilly Goodness]

We all know that Horn has a track record of dumping keyboardists.

If he wants (and can afford) to get Downes back in The Buggles, he will.

SNOWFLOWER ELDER SAY IT IS ALL CONNECTED

SNOWFLOWER ELDER SAY ALL IS CONNECTED

Except he no longer has YES obligations.

Maybe the original keyboardist's contract is too watertight. Maybe he's a mate of Trevor too.

Believe Geoff is still on good terms with Trevor.

Shame if he can't guest at least on VKTRS.

Can't wait to see setlist and hopefully see some vids on the tube.

There are even simpler challenges at play, like sorting out a work visa.

The only real Buggles reunion I would be extra excited about would be a new album.

But as for live, I know they're the opening band which means a shorter set, but the idea of live renditions of Adventures In Modern Recording material is sorta mouth watering. I can't see Vermillion Sands live, but who knows. My guestimation is VKTRS, maybe a couple/few more from the first album including Plastic Age, and probably covers of things like Two Tribes etc. But who knows yet.

It's easy. Go New York Times twitter. They have tweeted the article. Meanin' anyone can read it. Funny interview. Trevor havin' fun. Says his daughter says he should call it The Buggle. As it's only him.

Trouble is.

This is an earlier interview as it states at bottom with a correction.

I still smell a full Buggles reunion. I really do.

The relevant quote:

"The Buggles never toured, apart from a 2010 reunion gig for charity, but they’re the opening act on the British singer Seal’s upcoming tour, which starts April 25 in Phoenix. Horn will be playing without Downes, whose obligations to Yes got in the way."

Just go to the site:

select all
copy
paste (document, email, whatever)

Works like a charm, as long as you're quick.

One thing I've found is that sometimes these paywalled articles are copied onto twitter by different people. Then you can access them. Funky, huh!!!

So just root around and it may turn up.

Says Horn in... https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/17/a...horn-tour.html

Hopefully that puts to rest one conspiracy theory about Yes's tour being postponed!

I don't have subscription to NY Times.

What does it say exactly about Geoff's status (Yes? ASIA? DBA?) and the Buggles tour?

[Gilly Goodness]

+ Don't forget DBA6.

So. What's he doin' now his schedule is clear?

And all those teasin' Buggles photoes on twitter?

Bummer.

Hopefully workin' on those final Wetton demos that was supposed to be the next Asia album. And NDO! I want an electronic symphony from the dude.
