One-Hit Wonders of the 80s Sing-Along

Rated Unknown

Location: Alamo Downtown



With totally bitchin'prizes from WATERLOO RECORDS!


In the 1980s, video killed the radio star. In the 2000s, videos took over Thursday night programming at the Alamo Drafthouse, but it hasn't been until this month that we've finally come around and put together a show that will let us play The Buggles and mix them in with everyone's favorite phone number of all time - 867-5309 (god, if only we knew the area code for Jenny, too).

That's right, after nearly three separate volumes of One-Hit Wonders of the '90s shows, we're finally coming around and giving the 1980s their One-Hit dues. Because though the decades have changed and the music has evolved, these bands all managed to create at least one song that will be part of our lives forever. And they probably wrote a few other songs, too, but no one really remembers those anymore...

For us, though, the future is still so bright that we've gotta wear shades, so we'll have some Timbuk 3 right along side the high pitched screaming of A-Ha. Believe it or not, we're walking on air!
