Few bands are as instantly recognizable as A Flock of Seagulls. From the futuristic hairstyles and fashion to timeless hits like “I Ran (So Far Away)” and “Space Age Love Song,” the Liverpool-born group became one of the defining acts of the MTV era.

More than four decades later, frontman Mike Score is still performing, writing new music and introducing audiences to songs that extend far beyond the band’s familiar catalog.

As A Flock of Seagulls prepares to return to the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg Saturday as part of the “I Love the ’80s” tour, Score continues to look forward rather than back — a fitting approach for a musician whose career was built on imagining the future.

In my new interview, Score discusses the enduring appeal of ’80s music, the band’s rise to fame, and why he believes there’s still plenty of new music left to make.

Q: What can fans expect from your upcoming performance?

A: Of course, we’ll play the songs people know from the ’80s, but we’ll also play a few songs from our last album and some songs from different periods of the band’s history. As the show builds, fans start hearing more songs they know, and then at the end we do the big hits. Everyone goes away smiling.

Q: What do you think makes the music of the 1980s so timeless?

A: I think people were generally having a good time in the ’80s. It was a really exciting period because the kids had something that belonged to them. They had the music, the fashion, the hairstyles. I loved seeing kids come to shows with their hair styled like mine. Before that, you could grow your hair long, but you couldn’t really be “Seagulls stylish.” When we started out we decided we were going to be futuristic. We were going to wear the silver suits and do crazy things. When we got to America, the kids understood it immediately and wanted to be part of it.
