Why hire The Hit List?

The Hit List is a cover band that specializes in fun, danceable 80s music with a modern twist. Comprised of four experienced, talented musicians, The Hit List has reinterpreted classic 80's songs and given them a gritty, modern edge. Fans of the 80s will enjoy moving to songs they know and love. Fans of today's music will enjoy the modern sound, and will discover the catchy rhythms and hooks that originally made these songs so popular.

The Hit Of My Party

The Hit List made my recent birthday party so much fun. They were professional, very easy to work with, and sooo much fun. Here are a couple of quotes from our friends that attended the party
"We all had a blast! We are so glad you were able to help me celebrate my 50th birthday. Our friends and family enjoyed the music and had so much fun!" P Huffman

"Oh how we had fun!!!! Thank you guys soooo much for making P Huffman's 50th birthday party such a success!" As you could tell, everyone there loved you guys and the music that you played!

What to Expect

Typical Gig Duration: 60 - 180 minutes

Audience members will hear eighties music that they've loved for years, but may not have heard recently. They will probably end up dancing, whether or not they think they know how or not. They will recognize the melodies, beats and hooks that made these songs great, but will enjoy the modern spin that The Hit List employs. They will enjoy the music at a reasonable volume that will allow conversation, or at a bone-crushing, ear splitting one - That's up to you!
