What to expect

High in the 80's is a high energy cover band that aims to get people up on their feet and dance. We are a completely live band and focus on the music. We do not dress in costumes and play along to backing tracks the way many 80's "bands" do. We can play a song longer if people are dancing, mix up the sets, and even allow audience members to sing a song if they want to. Our song selection usually is met with "you guys play the best music". We keep it fun by playing lots of favorite's that aren't typically covered by 80's bands like Missing Persons, B-52's, David Bowie and Devo. Of course we play a solid mix of the well known 80's tunes as well.

About

High in the 80's have been performing together since November, 2013. Our members are all friends that came together in Orange County, California through a mutual love of 80's music including new wave, 80's alternative and 80's pop.

Additional booking notes

High in the 80's will typically provide lights, a PA system and house music for before and after our performance. We can also bring professional sound and lighting staff where needed, depending on the size of the gig.
