jester1470 Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 As often happens when you're up at 10 to 5 in the morning chatting on MSN, we were talking about the idea of possibly doing a charity night for the Band Aid Trust, and hit on the idea of a Back to the 80's night. The plan is that we get loads of local bands to agree to come on and do maybe 2 or 3 cover songs from the 80's, in full outifits of course, start at 7 .30 and go through till late with bands coming and going, and at the end everyone coming on and singing 'Feed the World'. It would be a great night and can you imagine - Radio Lucifer doing Culture Club...Spike Pile Driver doing Tiffany...MMW doing Ultravox...It could be a real laugh and a fun night for a great cause... but would anyone be up for it ? All Bands, all genres's doing songs you liked and interpreting them in your own way or trying to do them like they were originally done... Anyway, in theory would anyone be up for this ?CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardcore Mel Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 that's a great idea. maybe you could combine it with another Spinal Pap gig since they're as 80s as you get really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psydoll Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 If it was a 'Back To The 80's Matchbox B-Line Disaster' night then I'd be REALLY excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neil ex Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Project Van-Halen could cover Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love. I know Hines loves Van Halen and wearing tight clothing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Neubeatz Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Some one could do the theme from miami vice, very 80's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeC Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Is this going to happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester1470 Posted February 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Is this going to happen?Yes, it is probably going to be the Tsunami Fundraiser talked about previously, the plan at the moment seems to be we'll get 8 acts at Moshulu, each one playing for about 20 minutes with a minimum of 2 80's covers, the bands will be able to get into the spirit and do all covers or play a song or two of their own, they will also be expected to dress up.
