The '70s and '80s were a golden era of original music and fashion for the Baby Boomer & X generations. You may well cringe at old photos of perms and mullets, flares and fluoro-coloured nylons, but odds are that anyone who spent their teenage or 20s years through this time will have fond memories when they hear the music of ABBA, The Sweet, Devo, Brian Ferry, the Village People, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Buggles, and even Rocky Horror (or any of the one-hit wonder bands that dominated these eras).
Melbourne party band Back to the '70s & '80s have forged a career from recycling all that was good (and bad) from this time. Their aim is to remind us all, while paying homage with a hint of parody, that we’re still not too old to have a good time and to show the younger crowd that there is more to music than monotonous beats and fist pumping. In fact, many of the hits that sit in the charts these days are heavily sampled reworkings of songs from the '70s & '80s!
It was all about who could sing the highest and dress outrageously, and this show has captured that period with not only the music, but also with an array of costume changes depicting the epoch's biggest artists.
If you can only get the chance to see a show twice a year, then make sure you see this one twice!
