So, have you ever noticed that some of the greatest bands and musicians ever seem to just disappear out of the nothing!? Well, I just noticed once again after thinking about the band UB40 so I decided to start posting about those gone missing bands! XD
So today let's talk about the great UK reggae band formed in 1978, UB40!!!! I actually have a very strong bond to their music, I used to (actually I think I still have it) have a music cassette from that I got from my mom a bit before coming together with my first portuguese girlfriend so their "best of" cassette ended up being the soundtrack to my first portuguese summer of love!!!! Anyways, enough of my boring youth stories let's get to some facts. As I already mentioned they got together in 1978 in Birmingham and in 2008 Ali Campell (Vocals, Guitar) and Mickey Virtue (Keyboard) left the band and were replaced by Duncan Campell (Ali's younger brother) and Tony Mullings... Some say they're better of since the member change others don't, I won't judge so just check it out for yourself!
I don't want to bore you with the details (and there are alot of details with this band) but if you're really interested in them go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UB40
That's it for this "What ever happened to..."
