THE BEST 80s BAND EVER!!

We hired 80-DO for my boyfriend's 40th birthday party -THEY WERE THE BEST! David was the main contact and he was so awesome to deal with! He gave me songs the band typically play and we put in our request from the list. They were awesome in communicating with our sound man and had all the extra equipment that our venue did not. The night of the event they showed up on time with smiles on their faces--every band member was a delight!!
They played their hearts out, were engaged with the crowd, dressed in their awesome 80s gear and the best thing --Our guests loved the music!! They were such good sports and sounded AMAZING!!
We will for sure hire them again!
THANK YOU 80-DO for being so totally 80's AWESOME!!

Awesome band, with heavy metal theme

We decided to hire 80-Do for my husband's 50th Heavy Metal theme birthday party. That was one of the best decisions we made! From first contact with Lisaun and Dave to the event date, they were wonderful to deal with in terms of flexibility and being accommodating. They were punctual and professional AND they were a lot of fun! Lisaun "aka Kandi" kept the crowd engaged and really worked the room, as well as the other band members. These guys are true musicians and their playlist is quite extensive. Although we had a heavy metal theme, I asked them to also play dance-able 80's music as well and of course they nailed it! I received many compliments during and after the party telling me how awesome they thought the band was. There is something truly special about hiring live musicians, especially when they are as talented as 80-Do. They truly made my husband's party extra special and they rocked!
