ELECTRIC ACVENUE
"T h e 8 0 s M T V E x p e r i e n c e"
‘The Best Records performed the way you remember them’
We don’t get to repeat even one minute of our time here, but what if you
could experience all of the youthful energy and sonic celebration that was
1980s New Wave & Radio Pop? Every sound. Every nuance. Every
feeling. That's Electric Avenue.
"If you close your eyes it's 1985. This band is unbelievable."
Christine Murphy, Manchester, CT
What started out as a one-off party gig has turned into just over a
decade-long run, totaling more than 1100 concerts across the US and
abroad.
An Electric Avenue show is a high energy space that reminds people of a
time when they came home from school, put a record on, and listened with
open ears and an open heart; conjuring first dates, first cars, prom nights,
weekend movies, meeting friends at the mall, while finding a sense of
fashion and an identity all their own. At an EA show, 80’s music is as alive
and well today as it has ever been.
If authenticity is your thing, Electric Avenue meticulously and painstakingly
recreates every nuance and flavor of your favorite 80’s songs. Delving into
their personal stash of vintage synthesizers and rare signal processors, an
Electric Avenue show is a true labor of love. In fact, Electric Avenue’s
sound is so close to that of the original artists that in 2019 Warner Music
issued a cease-and-desist for using original artists recordings on their
social channels. After hearing the complete live recording of Electric
Avenue’s performance, Warner Music issued an apology to the band.
Electric Avenue has sailed the high seas with the The Walking Dead Cast,
Kid Rock, The Impractical Jokers, Joey Fatone, and Pitbull. In 2019, EA
was hand-picked and flown to Asbury Park, NJ to provide the soundtrack
for the red carpet launch of the Bruce Springsteen, Gurinder Chadha
(Bend it Like Beckham), New Line Entertainment 80’s-centric film, Blinded
By The Light. They have had the privilege of being direct support for 80’s
legend Pat Benatar, and have been joined on stage by, amongothers,
members of Toto, Player, Talk Talk, and Little River Band.
