funkgod Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) 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 🙂 Edited October 8, 2021 by funkgod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 14 hours ago, Stub Mandrel said: To be serious for a moment, what sort of 80s music? This. The 80s covers a lot of different music from Post-Punk, New Romantic, Synth Pop, Goth, Guitar Pop, HipHop/Rap, Hair Metal and Acid House to name just a few.

True (very late 70’s and 1980) but we’re several years ahead of their time and didn’t get recognition till the’80’s. Cabaret Voltaire wasn’t a good example though as it was named after a venue.

Yep that was the interesting period. I didn’t like much of their mid 80’s stuff TBH. I was really into Skinny Puppy however who arguably wouldn’t have existed without Caberet Voltaire.

The band formed in the early 70s, and they used to do a cover of The Seeds' "No Escape" in a very similar style until they started playing "Nag, Nag, Nag" at gigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
