The 1980s were the best years for music. It was a decade of fun, inventive music...the early days of MTV, when music was about having a good time.

We play your favorite songs from your favorite decade, faithfully reproducing the sounds and memories of that era. Every song is an instantly recognizable hit, and you know every word to every song we sing.

About

The M-80s bring back the fun and energy of the 1980s. This Birmingham, Alabama-based band is a five-member group of experienced, professional entertainers choosing the best music from the '80s and ensuring that you have a good time. We perform shows in venues of all sizes for indoor and outdoor concerts, showcases, parties, reunions, weddings, and benefits.

The band has a 6-year history that grew from a common love of the music and energy of the 1980s. We are fronted by a talented female vocalist, and every band member sings. We also incorporate keyboards and synthesizers into our sound. This allows us to provide authentic reproductions of a wide variety of pop music that other bands cannot duplicate.

We exist to make people happy with our music and the service we provide. We are professional in our presentation, performance, and business dealings. We know that hiring a band can be stressful, so we emphasize good communication with our clients, and we make the process clear and simple.

Here's what a few former clients are saying about The M-80s:

"The M-80s were the best decision we made for our wedding! They know how to do one thing and that's to put on the best show of your life! Our guests were not only pleased with our choice, but asked for the band's information for their weddings! All of the band members are extremely talented and enthusiastic, which gives them great stage presence. I would absolutely recommend the M-80s and can't wait to find an event to bring them back to play!"- Christie T., wedding client, Jackson, MS

"These guys will fight for your right to party! They delivered a totally awesome time warp back to the 80s for our 200 guests. We are now official groupies of the M-80s." - Chris N., Annual Mardis Gras party, Pike Road, AL

"The M-80's played our wedding perfectly. The guests were very complimentary, and said the band members were very kind and fun to be around. We really enjoyed them!" – Chris B., Wedding client, Birmingham, AL, Nov 2009

"The M-80's are one of the best cover bands when it comes to duplicating the sound of any song they play. They are high energy and have a great stage presence. They put on a great show!" – Ray W., Private Party hosted at Superior Grill, Birmingham, AL

"The M-80s are a great band. They are all very professional and great people. They put in a wonderful show and get the crowd into it. They will rock your establishment and you will want them back for more shows!" - Kimmie E., Manager, Time Out Sports Bar & Grill, Adger, AL

**The M-80s were also selected by the readers of Birmingham Magazine as one of the top cover bands in Birmingham for 2010**

Additional Booking Notes

The M-80s have a complete professional sound and light system which can be tailored to the size of the venue or event.
