| “This quintet of talented musicians plays all the dance
and new wave hits of the 80’s and shamelessly makes it fun, and even
invigorating, to relive the music of our not-so-distant past. This band
not only dresses in matching outfits (some that look like a checkerboard
Vans shoe, others in dapper ‘80s style) but they also choreograph dance
moves and play to appreciative audiences. Learning each song in an exacting
fashion, remaining faithful to the originals. …it's what has made them
a Northwest favorite, selling out venues from Woodinville, WA to Sun Valley,
Idaho [Bruce Willis’ Night Club, The Mint]. The band displays a fine
attention to detail, and each member’s versatile musicianship adds
to that. …both vocalists re-create everyone from Duran Duran’s
Simon LeBon to Bow Wow’s Annabella Lwin, with shocking similarity…
"- The Oregonian
The Retros have become the West's premiere New Wave 80’s resurrection band, selling out 1000 seat - plus venues including Portland’s Crystal Ballroom (1500 capacity) and Seattle’s Showbox Music Lounge. “Since 1996, The Retros have played new-wave songs by MTV relics such as Berlin, The Go-Gos, Madness and Dexy’s Midnight Runners. The five-member group’s stage act includes skinny ties, loud jackets and televisions that flash images of videos, movies and TV shows from the decade. At a February show , they packed the dance floor for the band’s
first song… Picture a high school dance circa 1985. Young women lip-synched
the words to each other and hopped around. The band launched into “Walk
Like an Egyptian” by The Bangles. The dancers started pantomiming
hieroglyphics.” -The Seattle Post Intelligencer |
