Best 80s night - Every Thursday!

by jmaxson

Come get your 80s on! They are throwing down the best 80s mix I have heard in the bay area. They play everything, stuff I haven't heard in years. They even took some crazy requests. They played pretty much everything from darkwave to pop and rap to rock (no heavy metal but they did play some industrial) We had a blast dancing. This has definately become a required Thursday night hangout! hope to see you there...

  • Pros: all 80s music all night...even obscure requests
  • Cons: Having to go to work on Friday after dancing my butt off Thursday night! haha
