This
IS
the 80's!
They say that "The Eighties"
is coming back in vogue again, but for these guys, "The Eighties"
never went anywhere in the first place!
It was never a problem
to try and locate appropriate
stage wear like fluorescent
sweat bands, or white socks,
- this lot had never stopped wearing them!
Deciding on which songs
to cover was going to be no more of
a deal either, as all of the songs chosen just
happened to be on
tapes, jammed in the cassette players of
each of their respective Ford
Capri's and XR3i's !
Reproduction of the songs,
did take some looking at though. These were
going to be strong tracks,
and with original production courtesy of
the likes of Trevor Horn, live
re - creation did take some thought
and indeed work. However, this
crowd are of course from the same
stable as the
highly sought after 
act , who have maintained their reputation
for excellence since establishing
themselves in the UK in 1993.
Therefore, by
adopting the same attitude and
indeed formulas to re-creating the original sounds of
the 80's anthems to be covered, the music is needless to say first
class.
This is not
your average 80's cover band
experience, not least because playing along to
the original record has never
been, and nor should it ever become
an option for acts at
this level, (guilty parties know who they are),
but because this act has already set the standard.
It has already
dictated what peoples expectations should be, and delivers
it to them , before they've even had the chance to merely take whatever
they're given, which sadly goes on in this industry all to often.
The songs performed by
"The Ultimate 80's Extravaganza",
are all popular, up-tempo big selling 80's tracks.
Check out the list on the right hand side of the songs performed.
It is also
worth pointing out that
each song is performed
in its entirety, - something that you may
well have taken for granted, however it was felt
that this ought to be highlighted,
as certain other 80's shows, experience
a problem in being able to deliver more
than a verse and a chorus,
of each song! Anyway, not so here. Full
intros, verses, choruses, bridges, middle
eights, solos, key changes, outros
endings, the lot, plus the odd costume
change of course, puts this act
head and shoulder pads above its main competitors. As stated before,
this act do not beleive in short cuts. If the song is good
enough to perform, it gets the full treatment.
This IS
the 80's.
