Dark Crushes revisits the Alt-80s to resurrect that decade’s matchless bands:
The Clash, The Cars, The Smiths, REM, New Order, The Replacements, The Violent Femmes, Talking Heads, Pixies, The Cure, et. al. Think WFNX live, college radio’s heyday, or “Valley Girl” soundtrack. Or don’t think at all: just dance (or sway) to the well-curated nostalgia!
“I meant to reach out earlier and tell you how much I appreciated your performance the other night. In all the best ways I could imagine it was nostalgic for me, reminders of another place and another time: 80s rock ‘n’ roll, summertime, getting the boys in a car…to wind up in some remote location or a strange or different state. A Saturday night in July. T in and catch some surprise band earnestly churning out one sweet tune after another. And this isn’t hyperbole, this is literally the memories that [Dark Crushes] conjured.” Brian McCaffrey, Booking Agent @ Jeanie Johnston Pub
