80s Enuff
Based in Melbourne
About this act
Simmons electronic drums, genuine 80s sequencing gear and gloriously loud period costumes. 80s Enuff have been recreating the decade since 1995, always with live vocals rather than backing tracks, and their corporate list shows how busy Melbourne has kept them: the Australian Open, the Australian Cricket Team, Crown Casino's Palladium NYE party, Telstra, the AFL and Woolworths among many others. The standard line-up is a four piece, but they scale from a duo right up to a show with dancers, backing singers and guest vocalists from the era itself, including Brian Mannix of Uncanny X-Men and Brian Canham of Pseudo Echo. The setlist runs from Midnight Oil and Divinyls to New Order and Culture Club.
