The Video Kids - The Invasion Of The Spacepeckers (1984) x2 different versions

VideoKids were a '80s disco pop duo from Holland, lead by the singer Peter Slaghuis who later died in car accident. They were probably most famous for their Woodpeckers From Space song.
Peter Slaghuis was a meteor in the world of dance music in mid and late eighties. Based in Holland, Slaghuis gets known in the world of underground DJs for his fourteen albums of "Disco Breaks", and builds a credibility with a series of remixes. In 1984 he is also involved in dance act The Video Kids, releasing the single "Woodpeckers From Space". Peter Slaghuis sadly died in a car accident a couple of years later (5-sep-1991), but honest historians of dance music will never be able to deny that he gave a small, but essential, contribution to the birth of sampling and electronic scene.
