A couple of friends of mine used to be in a (now defunct) 80s covers band doing synth and new-wave stuff. They were called Kevin 17. Maybe nick it...?

Off topic, but while I haven't yet found anything on Google about the clip on ponytail for the 80's gent wishing to fast-track his mullet, I have just discovered that the clip-on man-bun is a thing.

The mighty 80's best ever cover band.

OMG... wow thank you all so much, did not expect so many response's  loads of great ideas  keep them coming if you can,

if we had a girl lead singer we could have " Hot Hatch Maggie and the Mullets " an adaptation on two of your great ideas.

The Rewind is great as well as said it is being used but if we add a bit on the end, which we would have to anyway and call it

The Rewind, Back to the 80s Tribute show ( or band).. would we get away with something like that ?

for ref here is the set list of the first 20

1,  Gold..................... Spandau, Live version
2,  New sensation............ INXS
3,  A little respect ........ erasure.
4,  Heat is on............... glen fray
5,  Reo...................... duran
6,  Everybody wants to rule.. tears for fears
7,  a new flame.............. simply red
8,  Dont you Forget.......... Simple Minds
9,  dignity.................. deacon blue.
11, dancing with tears....... ultravox
10, Town called mal.......... jam
12, lets dance............... dave b
13, wont let sun go down..... nick kershaw, live version with band member intros.
14, we close our eyes........ go west
15, Real gone kid............ deacon blue.
16, this one goes out ....... Rem
17, im still standing........ ej
18, dont look down........... go west
19, take on me............... Ah ha
20, running in the family.... L42

 

we did think about using a name of a song but the best one there is "New Sensation" but that sounds a bit too 70s cabaret 🙂

once again thanks all keep them coming the funny and the witty as well, my chuckle muscle never stopped 🙂

New sensation is fine ... for 80's cabaret

Is it just a rolled up clip on pony tail that's been in a lockup for decades?
