Electric Avenue - The 80s MTV Experience

artist bio:

We donâ€™t get to repeat even one minute of our time
here, but what if you could relive all the youthful energy and sonic celebration
that was 1980s New Wave & FM Radio Pop: right here, right now? Every sound.
Every nuance. Every time.

“If you close your eyes, it’s 1985. This band is
unbelievable.”

Christine Murphy, Manchester, CT

If the Devil is truly in the details, then these boys
are slow dancing with Darth Vader himself. Electric Avenueâ€™s sound is so close
to that of the original artists that in 2019 Warner Music issued a
cease-and-desist for using Tears for Fears original recordings on their social
channels. After hearing the complete live recording of Electric Avenueâ€™s performance,
Warner Music issued an apology to the band. Update: It happened again with
Elektra Records (Howard Jones) and Mute records (Depeche Mode) in 2022. The
band won all three. You just canâ€™t buy
that kind of press!

What started out as a one-off gig in 2012, has turned
into: 100 shows a year across the US; cruising international waters with The
Walking Dead Cast (and fans), Kid Rock, The Impractical Jokers, and Pitbull; being
joined on stage by Bobby Kimball (Lead singer of Toto), Little River Band, Talk
Talk, Pat Benatar, plus other famous people living out their 80s rock star
dreams; and flying internationally to perform for clients and corporations.
What a Life! The band doesn’t take any
of this lightly and continue to wow audiences with proficiency and humility at
every turn. In 2019, Electric Avenue was hand selected as ‘America’s Best 80s
Band’ and flown to Asbury Park, NJ to help Bruce Springsteen, Gurinder Chadha,
and New Line Entertainment launch the 80s centric feel-good music film of the summer,
‘Blinded by The Light’. Needless-to-say, Electric Avenue is more than your regular
‘tribute band’. (No really, their resume of employers, tours, and recording
credits is quite impressive!)

In a world where almost everything is for sale, you still canâ€™t buy peopleâ€™s

support. That must be earned with sweat, consistency, proficiency,
and kindness. Giving it all youâ€™ve got on stage is natural for this A-Team,
as-is the community relationship that Electric Avenue shares with its fans. As
a result, over the last ten years, Electric Avenue has been able to raise just
shy of 11 million dollars for charities across the South East. In fact, during
the beginning of the pandemic, shortly after Electric Avenue was dubbed by Fox
News as ‘The first band in America to pivot to live-streaming, the night of
lockdown’, the band convinced one of its favorite Georgia charities that it was
possible to move their charity online.
It took a lot of homework, consideration, and production, but the band
and charity were able to exceed the charitiesâ€™ goals, and past fundraising records
that night! As a result, EA’s work
ensured that all homeless people in Georgia were offered and administered free
vaccinations. Another example of Electric Avenue, paying it forward.

â€œIf we lose sight of who we were when we were
younger, then we lose sight of all

of the things that can still be important to us. This plays into what EA does,
which is to remind people of a time when they came home from school, put on a
record, and listened to it with open ears and an open heart. Thatâ€™s what weâ€™re
selling – Nostalgia, community, and the absolute most fun.â€ Kevin Spencer (Lead Vocals / Guitar)
