If you hadn't heard, the '80s are back in a big way. This duo (Elly Jackson's the only member who performs live) brings the best of that synth-laden era to its very soulful performances. If you can somehow snag a ticket tonight, this show is sure to be a party. Yes Giantess and Moneypenny open.

Hi! My name is Dean. I'm 29 years old. I came across this forum while doing some research and decided to join. I hope to share and gain insight with/from you all. I'm trying to be the best me I can be, so I'm trying to stay informed, open-minded, and optimistic.
Thanks, Dean
