Part 2 - Not as much a list as a rabbit hole.



Last night while I was working on my list, I came across the Bands Reunited episode around the Vixen Reunion. Band Re-Uniteed was a show that only lasted 1 year, its premise was to bring broken bands back together to talk about their history and their breakups and play a short live set. It was a cool concept. Even though the show was heavily criticized for its manipulation and putting some people through pure hell in reliving negative experiences, it was still a great watch.


While they had some successses sometimes their attempts ended in extreme failure. The New Kids on the Block failed, there was extreme bad feelings int he Klymax reunion as well as a boob slip. They tried to reunite Gen-X and Billy Idol quashed that.



But there were some really good reunions. Berlin, Vixen, Scandal, Flock of Seagulls all reunited and performed and to some extent healed some wounds.


So without much text or preamble.



1) Vixen - Touched on earlier but this band had a particularly nasty breakup over a miscommunication between Jan and the rest of the band. For the most part them members all floated away from music. So it was cool to see them together to perform again.





2) Berlin - This was actually an awesome watch. The breakup was in a word awful, and most of the band floated away to other careers and hadn't talked in about 20 years. This was actually a pretty sweet reunion, and their performance was probably the best of the series





3) Scandal - The whole episode isn't up anymore, but this was a band that split apart when Patty Smyth decided she wants to go solo.






4) Flock of Seagulls - Considered one of the ultimate one hit wonder bands, this was cool to watch, though without the Flock of Seagull hair cuts
