| Six '80s Bands in Search of a Headliner
Attended the so-called "Retro Futura" tour last night at The Borgota in Atlantic City, which consisted of 6 bands who'd usually be considered supporting acts. Actually, it was a very fun night. | | 5 |  | Katrina and the Waves
Katrina and the Waves 1
Highlight: "Walking on Sunshine"
Actually, this was Katrina sans The Waves. She turned out to be more of a country girl than I expected. Definitely didn't suck to hear her perform "Walking on Sunshine" live. | | 4 |  | Paul Young
The Secret of Association
Highlight: "Every Time You Go Away"
For an all old dude, he spent a good part of his 3-song set sexing up the '80s girls in the front row. I like to believe that by the time The English Beat went on, he and Katrina were upstairs in his room making frenzied love. | | 3 |  | Modern English
After the Snow
Highlight: "I Melt With You"
"I Melt With You" was the second highlight of the night. I liked them enough to pick up a copy of their new album. | | 2 |  | Men Without Hats
Rhythm of Youth
Highlights: "The Safety Dance", "Pop Goes the World"
This is the main reason I got the ticket. If you like '80s music, why wouldn't you want to see these guys do "The Safety Dance"? It was the highlight of the night. | | 1 |  | Howard Jones
Human's Lib
Highlights: "What Is Love?", "New Song"
Jones was the only one given a full set. And actually, he turned out to be a worthy headliner after all. | |

08.13.17 | English Beat! I'm jealous.. and I melt with you is a quintessential 80's song in a great way.. | SandwichBubble
08.13.17 | Modern English and Katrina and the Waves? Sounds like quite the night | Divaman
08.13.17 | A lot of middle-aged and older people turned very young last night. | SandwichBubble
08.13.17 | I need to check that first Katrina album again, it's been forever and a half |
