We set out originally to play 80's and other obscure songs that "should have
been hits", or should have been "bigger hits". As the other members came on
board we started to pick-up some slightly better-known 80's songs, but we've
tried to keep it one or two Duran Duran songs shy of a "typical" 80's tribute
band. If we had to describe the overall sound in 7 words or less: "80's New
Wave/Guitar-driven Power Pop".

The word "tribute" is exactly what we're trying to avoid...other bands play
songs that have been filtered and ingrained into the collective consciousness
thru radio airplay, or TV, or cd compilations (or everybody's cousin's wedding
reception band!). We're trying to dig deeper and play songs that we thought were
cool back then, that still survive today being played on loud guitars, and as
uptempo as we can stand to play them! |

We're just as likely to play "Blitzkrieg Bop" by the Ramones as we are "Starry
Eyes" by the Records; or "A Town Called Malice" by The Jam into "A
Million Miles Away" by the Plimsoles. We also feature some original material
written by the band members...most of which were written in the 80's when we
were all playing these songs the first time around, and we think they fit nicely
with what we're trying to do. |
