I'm going to recount my night last night! Under a read more because it's a tad long :)

I've been to the venue several times, and it's a nice space. I shelled out $15 for a cocktail (which was good, but Jesus, this is why I don't drink often!!) The first band was two guys-- one on drums and one playing guitar and singing. They were good, just played a few songs. The next band was a Cyndi Lauper tribute band. The lead singer was fantastic!! She had a great voice and could hit all of those high notes! She also looked just like Cyndi, it was fun! They're called We Bop, and you should look them up if you like Cyndi Lauper :)

The next band was a Texan INXS tribute band called INTXS. I recognized a lot of songs from my time in retail hell lolol. The band itself was really good! Only knew a few songs, but the whole set was great. I also learned INXS is from Australia lmfao.

Next was what I was there for--STRANGELOVE!! They were incredible!! Not only were they just really talented, but they had so much fun on stage! Dave was INSANE, I wish I had caught a video of him spinning because OMG!

They played: A Question of Time, World In My Eyes, New Life, Master and Servant, People Are People, Get the Balance Right, Just Can't Get Enough, Stripped, A Question of Lust, Strangelove, It's No Good, Behind The Wheel, NLMDA, Enjoy the Silence, Personal Jesus, and their encore was BUT NOT TONIGHT!!! I love that they played their old stuff. The synth is so fun to dance to live!!

Yes, Dave was a slut. I approve lmfao

I wish they were closer together. It was hard to get a photo of Alan! But he's on the very right:

My feet hurt by the end, but my back surprisingly didn't! Thank you, Doctors Scholl and Marten! I only talked sparingly to other folks. But I still had a great time! Got a t-shirt and took a photo with the bands afterward!

I really did kiss Dave, hehehe. I posed like this and he leaned over and I smooched him. Totally out of character for me, but I was ENTRANCED. Maybe I need to meet a Dave impersonator irl LOL.

Anyway!! Tribute bands are a lot of fun. I highly recommend supporting local acts in your area! You're supporting local and traveling musicians while enjoying good music. It's a win win!
