Audiences see a vibrant, neon‑charged 80s dance party — live synths, big hooks, and the unmistakable sound of classic new wave. We bring the energy of MTV‑era hits to life with a modern edge, getting crowds singing, dancing, and reliving the best of the decade.
Clients get a professional, easy‑to‑work‑with band that delivers consistent quality. We tailor our setlist and energy to the event — whether it’s a club night, festival, wedding, brewery show, reunion, or corporate party — and we bring everything needed for a smooth, engaging performance.
We’re a group of seasoned musicians who came together to build a new wave/synth‑pop project that feels both retro and fresh. After years of playing in other bands, our drummer and bassist teamed up with our keyboardist/singer and guitarist to create something unique, energetic, and a little geeky in the best way. We love great musicianship, a good laugh, and performing songs just like the record. Our goal is simple: blow people away with a unique setlist and be the soundtrack to an unforgettable night out.
