Re: 80s party

So is anybody actually planning on having an 80s party or is this all just a big 80s jerk circle?

Re: 80s party

Don't forget Simple Minds, and pretty much any band that was part of a soundtrack to a John Hughes film...

Man I love John Hughes films...

Re: 80s party

Flock of Seagulls
Psychedelic Furs
Art of Noise
Devo
The Clash
Haircut 100
Alphaville
Naked Eyes
Madness
Sex Pistols
Duran Duran
The Cure
The Fixx


BTW, I don't think there was such a thing as 'alternative' in the 80's that's something that came out purely in the 90's, which was a decade of music that should be forgotton.

Yaz
Erasure
Adam Ant
B-52s
Thompson Twins

And wasn't the early 80's synth music called Bubble Gum pop?

Re: 80s party

I bet we can even get some of the old bands back. No doubt they'd love to play Vegas!

Re: 80s party

Oy, now I'm really regretting not being able to make it out to DefCon this year. At least I have Let's Trashy, the '80's themed party at the anime convention I go to in September.

Re: 80s party

So is it gonna happen or what? I have to admit that the thought of Rick Astley being played makes me want to puke. I didn't like him back in the 80's to begin with.

Re: 80s party

I'd so be there.

Re: 80s party

Would you attend?

Yes, but I don't think I could ever go back to using that much hair spray again to achieve the good'ol 80's big hair.

Re: 80s party

Here's an idea worth exploring:

How about a Friday night party which is nothing but 80s new wave, alternative dance, and the like? (think Depeche Mode, New Order, OMD, etc)

Would you attend?

Yes I would, and would be up for DJing it as well.

Re: 80s party

Heheheh, well I was just proposing a party where I spin nothing but 80s music all night, but hey, if you want to drag out the color block shirts, the elaborate Howard Jones sweaters, and the Ray-Ban Wayfarers, then that's cool too :)

Someone had better show up in a Member's Only jacket...

Re: 80s party

I'd be there. Not sure I could still fit in my parachute pants (or if I even still have them) though. I may have some Heather Thomas posters for decorations somewhere.
