Giving A Bit Of A Plug
Giving A Bit Of A Plug
During the week I received an email from a great guy and he told me about the 80s cover band he is in. I visited the bands site and wow. I wish I lived in Melbourne just so I could see them.
They are called 80s Enuff and are made up of
Flash Dan - Lead Vocals
Adorian - Synthesizer/Vocals
Roland Simmons - Electronic Drums
Michael J Roxx - Lead Guitar
You can visit their site here.

80s Enuff are Australias original and best 80s tribute show. Other retro bands have tried to follow in their footsteps, but no act has been able create performances with such genuine 80s authenticity, raw energy and humor.
Not only do they wear all the LOUD 80s costumes but also use original 80s instruments including Simmons electronic drums, real 80s sequencing technology and LIVE vocals as opposed to the backing tracks that so many tribute and cover acts are using these days. In other words, youre getting the Real Deal with no cheating or miming!!
Since 1995, 80s Enuff has become much less a band than a Melbourne institution. The band had a vision to skillfully recreate the sounds from the decade; a live show is theatrically visual and entertaining. From corporate/private events to successful long term residencies in pubs and clubs, 80s ENUFF always has the audience not only raging but coming back for more!
Each live performance is the product of continuing hard work from the musicians, a theatre director, a choreographer and a costume designer.
Guests and members of 80s Enuff have included Brian Canham (Pseudo Echo), James Freud (The Models), Paul Gray (Wa Wa Nee), Dale Ryder and Peter Farnan (Boom Crash Opera), Scott Carne (Kids In The Kitchen), Brian Mannix (Uncanny X-Men), David Sterry (Real Life), Erik Weideman (1927), Steve Morgan (Icehouse), Warren Jenkin (Killing Heidi), Kym Valentine (Neighbours), Marty Grech (The Androids), George Kapiniaris (Acropolis Now, Wogs Out Of Work, The Flares etc.) and actor Brett Swaine (Neighbours).
Their site is fantastic and full of video clips and examples of their great singing style along with glimpes of their 80s fashion. They also have a listing of their upcoming gigs for those of you lucky enough to live locally. Go visit them !!!!
