Georgia has no shortage of bands ready to bring back the synth hooks, rock anthems, dance-floor staples, and big 80s singalongs. This list highlights local 80s cover bands that can help turn weddings, corporate events, festivals, fundraisers, class reunions, and private parties into full-on throwback celebrations.
Mixtape
Mixtape ATL is a Smyrna-based party band that scales from six to ten pieces and treats the 80s like required coursework: “Living on a Prayer,” “Don’t You (Forget About Me),” “I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” “Footloose,” “Tainted Love,” “Walk Like an Egyptian,” “Billie Jean,” “Sweet Dreams,” “Love Shack,” and Bobby Brown’s “My Prerogative” are all on the verified setlist – sixteen-plus 80s titles anchored by a horn section the band’s own site identifies as its signature.
Three vocalists are confirmed on the official site: Jeff Brown, Amy Aguilar, and CJ McLain, alongside Colin Samuel and Joseph Poole. WeddingWire gallery photos reference additional players including brass, with the full ten-piece configuration labeled “Full 10 Piece.”
The 80s section is deep, but this band plays across the full span of popular music – 60s soul through 2010s pop – which means they can bookend a decade-themed set with context that keeps every age group on the floor.
For festival and public-show formats, EastCoast Entertainment (their national booking agency) describes their approach as “Las Vegas style shows themed to an era of music,” complete with costumes, audience participation, and production gear that includes fog machines, disco balls, and GOBO lighting. The same bio notes they have “performed at just about every concert space, event facility, and festival in the Southeast” – Southeast venue proof includes 37 Main in Buford and LIVE Wire in Athens, Georgia.
On WeddingWire, they carry a 5.0 out of 5.0 across 8 reviews and are a 2022 Couples’ Choice Award winner. One reviewer called them “an amazing group of talented musicians – horns, guitars, vocals, you name it”; a nonprofit client logged them as “turnkey, professional, and extremely talented”; a GigSalad reviewer noted they showed up seven hours early for soundcheck. (WeddingWire, 5.0/8 reviews, 2022 Couples’ Choice Award; GigSalad review, May 2024)
Logistics are flexible: band size adjusts from six to ten pieces to fit venue and budget, with WeddingWire listing typical spend around $5,000. They offer cocktail-hour coverage, a bilingual MC, ceremony music, music during breaks, karaoke, and will learn songs on request. Liability insurance and willingness to travel are both confirmed.
The clearest booking case: 80s-decade weddings and receptions where guests want a live band doing the floor work, plus corporate galas, nonprofit fundraisers, festival stages, and themed celebrations where a fully staged era show – costumes, production, multi-vocalist arrangements – is the goal.

Throwback
The Throwback Experience is an Atlanta-based party band booked through Music Garden Bands that operates as a true chameleon act: they scale from a tight five-piece to an eleven-piece with horns and an optional DJ, and their catalog spans from Motown and Disco through the 80s and beyond. For 80s nights, the setlist reaches for “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Living on a Prayer,” “Billie Jean,” “I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” and “Push It,” among others, though planners should know going in that this is a multi-era band rather than a dedicated 80s tribute. That breadth is the point: they describe themselves as the bridge between generations, and their crowds stay on the floor.
Booking contact is Marty; the only other name that surfaces in reviews is Heather. The horn-equipped configurations are a visual presence, with WeddingWire photos showing the full ensemble at wedding receptions.
The 80s-era songs confirmed on their published setlist include “Don’t Stop Believin'” (Journey), “Living on a Prayer” (Bon Jovi), “Billie Jean” and “PYT” (Michael Jackson), “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” (Whitney Houston), “Push It” (Salt-N-Pepa), “Celebration” (Kool & the Gang), and “Old Time Rock and Roll” (Bob Seger), alongside a broader repertoire of Disco, Motown, Beach music, and current pop totaling over 100 published titles.
Audience interaction is a recurring theme across reviews: the band comes onto the floor, pulls in guests, and keeps the energy up visually as well as musically. Their own bio states the group “has as much to look at, as to dance to.”
On The Bash, they hold a 5.0 rating across 11 reviews and 27 verified bookings since joining in 2012, with two platform awards. WeddingWire adds 7 more reviews at 5.0. One reviewer from a high school reunion praised booking contact Marty directly and noted they’d rebook; a corporate client in Atlanta reported everyone on the dance floor for a 60s-themed event. The Music Garden testimonial from a wedding client in Atlanta sums up a pattern: “No one wanted to leave…not even the oldies.”
They handle their own PA, lighting, and MC duties, provide ceremony and cocktail-hour music, and will learn requests on 30 days notice. They travel up to 250 miles from Atlanta, starting at $2,000 per event. Themed builds (Mardi Gras, 60s, 70s) are noted in their profile. Verified past events include corporate functions and holiday parties in Atlanta and Marietta, a birthday in Chattanooga, a college reunion in Morrow, and wedding work in Birmingham and Montgomery.
Best considered for weddings, corporate events, reunions, and Mardi Gras or decade-themed celebrations where you want 80s songs alongside a broad cross-generational dance floor rather than a dedicated 80s tribute set.

The Mostly 80s Band
The Mostly 80s Band is a Peachtree City, Georgia 80s cover act with a four-piece lineup built for rooms where the whole floor sings along to the chorus.
The current roster puts AJ on vocals and keys, Jeff on guitar (he also handles booking), Vicky on drums and vocals, and Eddie on vocals and lighting – meaning production, sound, and staging are managed in-house. Their performances run on a pro-grade sound system and backing tracks designed to capture the layered, big-room sound of the era’s arena acts.
The published set list of roughly 50 songs hits the decade’s most recognizable titles: “Don’t Stop Believing,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” “Hungry Like the Wolf,” “Purple Rain,” “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” “Every Breath You Take,” “Final Countdown,” “Here I Go Again,” “Careless Whisper,” and “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” alongside deep-cuts-that-aren’t-really-deep-cuts like “Working for the Weekend,” “Mony Mony,” and “Home Sweet Home.” They also pull from a few acts that bleed across decades – Fleetwood Mac, Hall & Oates – which gives a set list rooted in 80s rock and pop a slightly wider net.
The current Gigs page (2026) shows a regular rotation across the south Atlanta region: Southern Roots Tavern in McDonough, RPM Full Service in Newnan, The Garden Beer Garden & Venue in Griffin, Grazing Here in Peachtree City, and a slot at The Avenue Peachtree City First Friday Concert. Third-party regional event calendars corroborate prior appearances, including a fall 2024 date at Summergrove Golf Club in Newnan. Most gigs run three-hour windows (typically 8 to 11pm).
On The Bash, where they’ve been listed since 2023, the band holds a 5.0 out of 5 rating from a verified wedding booking. The reviewer, from a November 2024 Acworth wedding, wrote that “everyone gave me so many compliments on them throughout the night,” called the sound exceptional, and noted that guests were still talking about the reception afterward.
Starting at $600 per event with travel up to 75 miles from Peachtree City; direct booking is through email. The band’s social media presence is on Facebook and Instagram.
The Mostly 80s Band fits best at weddings and receptions where the couple wants a dance-floor-first 80s playlist, private parties, and mid-size community events and festivals around the south metro Atlanta area. Their range of Fayette, Henry, and Coweta County venue credits suggests a reliable circuit act – and a 5.0 wedding review with a vocal clientele who booked them on reputation is a solid starting signal for event planners who need that era covered and a crowd that’ll actually dance.

Kids In America
Kids In America brings our Charlotte-based 80s tribute show to Georgia events with a sound built for bright synth lines, rock guitars, huge choruses, and songs guests can jump into almost immediately. We cover the wide MTV-era lane, from new wave and dance-pop to rock, hair metal, and power-ballad favorites.
Our six-piece lineup gives the show a real live-band feel. Shannon Remley handles lead vocals, Ray Hartsfield brings lead vocals and guitar, Doug Grabowski plays bass and sings, G K Via adds lead guitar and vocals, Rob Bowser covers keyboards and synths, and Mike Graci drives the set on drums and electronic percussion.
The setlist is full of 80s songs that work fast with a crowd. We perform “Billie Jean,” “Beat It,” “Burning Down the House,” “Come On Eileen,” “Footloose,” “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” “Like a Prayer,” “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” and “Take On Me.”
We turn the performance into a full 80s throwback rather than a simple cover-band set. The show combines live vocals, harmonies, guitars, synths, drums, electronic percussion, costumes, props, teased hair, spandex, crowd participation, and no reliance on backing tracks.
Our event history includes The Fillmore Charlotte, Cohoes Music Hall, Orlando World Center, Tybee Island Post Theater, Don Gibson Theatre, botanical gardens, and Matthews Alive Festival. Gig Heaven states that we have been active for 9 years, average about 100 shows per year, and have performed about 1,000 shows.
Our booking-platform record gives Georgia planners a useful way to compare us with other acts. The Bash lists Kids In America at 5.0 from 7 reviews, with 12 verified bookings, membership since 2017, and 3 awards/badges. Entertainers Worldwide lists us at 5.0 from 8 reviews and 2 confirmed bookings.
For logistics, we can provide 3-hour coverage with a 30-minute break, flexible 2-hour straight sets, covered outdoor performances, optional sound and lighting, and formal attire when the event calls for it. The Bash lists travel up to 500 miles, while Gig Heaven and Entertainers Worldwide note broader worldwide availability.
We are a strong fit for Georgia 80s theme parties, weddings, corporate events, fundraisers, theaters, festivals, casino nights, class reunions, and private celebrations where dance-pop hooks, rock anthems, and big chorus moments can all share the same stage.

Electric Avenue
Atlanta’s Electric Avenue has operated since 2013 under the tag “The 80s MTV Experience,” framing the show not as a dance revue but as a full concert built around New Wave and FM radio pop. The band treats 80s source material with the kind of sonic detail that draws attention: in 2019, Warner Music issued a cease-and-desist over their Tears for Fears recordings on social media, then followed with an apology after reviewing the actual live recording. Similar disputes with Elektra Records (Howard Jones) and Mute Records (Depeche Mode) in 2022 ended the same way.
The six-person performing unit is built around founding vocalist and guitarist Kevin Spencer, founding lead guitarist and vocalist Shannon Pengelly, founding bassist and vocalist Tom Young, and founding keyboardist and vocalist Eric Frampton, whose touring credits include national and world runs with Paul Simon, Lionel Richie, and the B-52s. Drummer Will Groth, who joined in 2016, came off support tours with the Zac Brown Band. Production Manager Chris Pou, a former Technical Director at the University of Georgia where he oversaw 600-plus events between 2008 and 2019, joined in 2018 and handles show-scaling from theater stages to conference ballrooms.
A 200-plus song catalog covers the decade’s core catalog: “Don’t You Forget About Me,” “Take On Me,” “Hungry Like the Wolf,” “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” “In the Air Tonight,” “Tainted Love,” “Africa,” “Rio,” “Purple Rain,” “Faith,” and “Burning Down the House,” among many others. For clients who want to go deeper, the band offers dedicated tribute sets covering Prince’s catalog, the complete George Michael Faith album plus additional hits, and deep-cut collections for David Bowie, Duran Duran, and Tears for Fears.
The show is staged as a concert, scaled by Pou’s production work to suit the room. The band logs roughly 100 shows per year and has crossed 500 private events coast-to-coast and internationally, with active bookings at theaters including the Shubert in New Haven and the Majestic Ventura Theater on the public touring side, and corporate conference work running alongside it.
As the Atlanta Braves’ personal activation band, they were the final act to perform at Turner Field before its demolition. In 2019, New Line Entertainment selected them for the Blinded by the Light red-carpet premiere in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Their touring record includes cruise appearances alongside the Walking Dead cast, Kid Rock, and Pitbull, direct support for Pat Benatar, and onstage guests including Bobby Kimball of Toto and members of Talk Talk and Little River Band.
Client testimonials carry specific weight. FEI Group president William A. Graham Howerton called their national conference booking “the all-time favorite” across 24 years of company events. The Lawyers Club of Atlanta’s Executive Director, Stephanie Talbert, described their December 2016 Fox Theatre holiday party as one of the organization’s “biggest successes.” Event producer Ally Stevens of Good Foot Productions, a repeat client across benefits and festivals, has cited the band’s ability to take “a disengaged crowd and transform them into a dancing group of party people.” Corporate clients listed on the official booking page include Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Delta, FedEx, Marriott, and PwC.
The band is listed on The Bash (starting at $3,500/event, member since 2017) and represented by EastCoast Entertainment. Travel range is listed as up to 500 miles from Atlanta, with international dates documented.
The documented event history points most clearly to corporate galas and national conferences, fundraisers, benefits, and seated concert-hall presentations, with weddings and 80s-themed private parties also well represented in the client record.

Members Only ATL
Members Only ATL is an Atlanta-based 80s cover band, active since at least 2014 and managed by ATL Party Bands LLC, that positions itself squarely in the decade’s dance-floor canon: neon synth-pop, arena rock singalongs, and MTV-era pop, with a few 90s and modern crossovers woven in for crowd flexibility.
Individual member names are not listed publicly. The band features two lead vocalists, one male and one female.
The setlist pulls from across the decade’s biggest moments: “Don’t Stop Believin'” (Journey), “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” (Cyndi Lauper), “Livin’ on a Prayer” (Bon Jovi), “Pour Some Sugar on Me” (Def Leppard), “Jump” (Van Halen), “Don’t You Forget About Me” (Simple Minds), “Jessie’s Girl” (Rick Springfield), “Take on Me” (A-Ha), “Video Killed the Radio Star” (The Buggles), “Footloose” (Kenny Loggins), “Hungry Like the Wolf” (Duran Duran), and “Thriller” (Michael Jackson) – roughly 90 songs in total on the published list.
The band describes its show as customizable and interactive, and at least two verified reviewers noted musicians stepping onto the dance floor to engage with guests. When Fernbank Museum of Natural History booked them for their sold-out “After Dark” series, the band adapted to a trio format and ran all instruments direct through the PA to deliver clean audio in the museum’s acoustically demanding atrium without sacrificing volume control for conversational events – a practical flexibility note for planners dealing with unusual rooms.
Original MTV VJ Mark Goodman has called them “The Best 80’s Party in Atlanta,” and the band’s official site and agency page also cite an endorsement from 80s pop artist Debbie Gibson. Their documented venue resume includes the Crowne Plaza Atlanta Downtown (a corporate event for Carolina Ale House general managers), Roswell High School’s 30th reunion at Brookfield Country Club, Walton High School’s 30th reunion at Sandy Springs City Hall, plus Avalon in Alpharetta, Park Tavern, 37 Main at Avondale Estates, Wild Leap Brewing, Lake Blackshear Resort, and public concerts for the Cities of Duluth, Canton, and Thomasville, Georgia.
On The Bash, they carry a 5.0 rating across 2 verified reviews. One reviewer, who attended a preview show at Avalon before booking the band for her 40th birthday party, wrote that the venue owner and guests were talking about booking them for other events by the end of the night. A second reviewer noted that the band came out onto the dance floor, sang, and interacted with guests throughout the set.
The band travels up to 100 miles per The Bash listing, with verified bookings in Nashville and Kingsport, TN on record. Through ATL Party Bands, planners can add full production and lighting, photo booths, live-band karaoke, arcade games, and specialty vehicles from iconic films and TV shows including Back to the Future and Jurassic Park to a single booking. Pricing starts at $500 per event.
Members Only ATL fits adult birthday parties and milestone celebrations, class reunions for 80s and 90s graduating classes, corporate events that need a danceable set, municipal concerts, and private parties where a crowd that lived through the decade wants to hear it live.

Echo 80s
Atlanta has no shortage of 80s cover acts anchored by arena choruses and hair-metal singalongs, but echo 80 works a noticeably different corner of the decade: the alternative, synth-forward side that lived on late-night MTV and college-radio playlists rather than stadium stages.
The published setlist of 30 songs stays firmly in new wave and synth-pop territory: “Enjoy the Silence” (Depeche Mode), “Just Like Heaven” and “Lovesong” (The Cure), “I Ran (So Far Away)” (Flock of Seagulls), “Rio” (Duran Duran), “Tainted Love” (Soft Cell), “I Melt with You” (Modern English), “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” (Tears for Fears), and “Take Me On” (A-ha), with character additions like Violent Femmes’ “Blister in the Sun” and Dexys Midnight Runners’ “Come on Eileen” that keep things from sounding like a pure synth exercise. No Journey, no Van Halen – the curation has a point of view. echo80band
The band bills itself as “The Ultimate Alternative 80’s Music Experience,” and the setlist backs that up. Lineup names are not published on the official site. echo80band
Confirmed recent venue credits include StillFire Brewing in Suwanee, Georgia, where the band played in November 2024 and February 2025. StillFire is a widely recognized Georgia craft brewery destination with a strong live music calendar. The band’s web presence dates to 2024, so there is no accumulated trail of review-platform ratings or show counts to draw from yet. echo80band + 2
Booking runs directly through the band’s website; a 50% deposit holds the date, with the balance due the day of the event and written cancellation required at least 30 days out for a refund. The band notes that setlists are curated per event and that song suggestions are welcome, though not guaranteed. echo80band
Echo 80 is a natural fit for 80s-themed corporate nights, private parties, club bookings, and brewery or festival events where the crowd remembers The Cure and Depeche Mode fondly and would find a night of pure arena rock beside the point.

Radio 80s Band
Radio 80s Band is an Atlanta-based 80s pop/rock cover band with a clear philosophy: no costumes, no wigs, nothing theatrical – just the songs, played straight by accomplished musicians. What separates them from the neon-wig contingent is a deliberate push past the standard 80s greatest-hits rotation into the songs audiences “forgot they loved,” alongside the arena anthems everybody knows.
The six-piece lineup features dual vocalists in Ben Powell and Andrea Powell, who also plays guitar. The rest of the roster is Bill Trippe on guitar, Shane West on bass, Jared McDurmont on keyboards, and Frank Fontsere.
The band draws from a wide swath of the decade: Bon Jovi, Journey, Rick Springfield, Prince, Queen, Toto, Mr. Mister, Cutting Crew, Howard Jones, Christopher Cross, Richard Marx, and Duran Duran all factor in, spanning synth-pop, power pop, and arena rock across the full ten years.
Shows run in front of a live video backdrop weaving together 80s music clips, film footage, iconic images, and decade trivia – the band calls it total immersion, and it gives the set a visual throughline that works for seated crowds as well as dance floors.
They’ve served as an opener for national touring acts, played city festivals and municipal events, and taken on corporate and private functions as well. Venue credits include MadLife Stage & Studios in Woodstock, Dixie Tavern in Atlanta, Boot Barn Hall at Bourbon Brothers in Gainesville (a ticketed theater that books national-level acts), and The Station of Hartwell.
A 2024 Bandsintown attendee at MadLife summed it up directly: “First time seeing them and they were awesome! Had the crowd singing and dancing through the whole show. Would definitely see them again!” (Bandsintown, February 2024).
The band has noted suitability for all ages, which aligns with their event history across corporate settings, festivals, and private events. They’re a strong fit for corporate events, class reunions, fundraisers, and private parties where a polished 80s concert experience is the goal and a theatrical costume act is not.

The 80ators
The 80ators are an Atlanta-based 80s cover and tribute band with a documented event history stretching from 2010 to at least May 2025. They work the full range of Georgia’s event landscape: corporate functions, weddings, hotel ballrooms, outdoor amphitheaters, city festivals, fundraisers, and country clubs. Their sound covers the full 80s terrain, from synth-driven new wave to leather-jacket arena rock.
Individual member names are not publicly listed. Booking is managed by Rick, and reviews confirm a mixed-gender roster. The band offers multiple size configurations depending on event needs and budget.
Their official song catalog tops 60 titles. A representative slice: “Don’t Stop Believin'” (Journey), “Living on a Prayer” and “You Give Love a Bad Name” (Bon Jovi), “Pour Some Sugar on Me” (Def Leppard), “Sweet Child O’ Mine” (Guns N’ Roses), “Billie Jean” and “Beat It” (Michael Jackson), “Hungry Like the Wolf” (Duran Duran), “Don’t You Forget About Me” (Simple Minds), “Take On Me” (a-ha), “Every Breath You Take” (The Police), and “Love Shack” (B-52s), spanning hair metal, MTV pop, hard rock, and new wave in roughly equal measure.
Audience participation is built into the show rather than incidental: guests are regularly invited to dance and sing on stage. Stage and dance floor lighting is part of the package. DJ music fills between sets and covers pre- and post-event, so the entertainment is continuous. The band puts considerable focus on sound and mix, according to their own site and confirmed by multiple reviewers.
The band’s show history on their website runs from 2019 through May 2025 and covers an unusually broad range of venue types. On the institutional side: a corporate function at the Georgia Aquarium (January 2023), a charity fundraiser at the InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta (November 2023), a corporate holiday party at Chateau Elan in Braselton (December 2023), and a holiday party at the JW Marriott Buckhead (December 2022). Wider reach includes the Northside Hospital-Cherokee Amphitheater in Woodstock (August 2024), The Masquerade in Atlanta (March 2022), the Beer Bourbon BBQ Festival at Atlantic Station (February 2020), the Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort (August 2019), and the Cobb Galleria Centre (May 2019), plus events in Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee.
On The Bash, the band carries a 5.0 out of 5-star rating across 15 verified reviews, with 34 confirmed bookings, 5 awards and badges, and a membership history on the platform going back to 2014. A community event organizer in Rome, GA noted in September 2024 that manager Rick handled every logistical detail and left them planning to rebook. A wedding client on GigSalad reported that multiple guests independently called it the best 80s and wedding band they had ever experienced, saying the performance blew all expectations. A GigRoster wedding review noted the band invited guests on stage to sing and that everyone had a strong time.
The band travels up to 215 miles from Atlanta. Set lengths run from 1 to 4 hours. DJ service between sets is included in the price. Stage and dance floor lighting is provided. An “80ators PLUS” option is available for clients who want repertoire beyond strictly 80s material. Custom song requests are accepted. Stage requirements: a minimum 16×12-foot level surface and two 20-amp circuits. Starting rate is listed at $1,200 per event on The Bash; GigSalad reflects $1,800 as a starting point. Booking inquiries go through 80ators.com/booking.
Based on their confirmed event history, they fit best for corporate events and holiday parties, weddings, adult birthday parties (especially milestone events in the 40th-to-60th range), city and community festivals, charity fundraisers, class reunions, and country club events. The catalog’s breadth, from Guns N’ Roses to Cyndi Lauper to the B-52s, makes the show accessible to mixed crowds who share an 80s reference point.

Nu Wave ATL
Nü Wave ATL is a Marietta-based five-piece tribute to the early MTV era – the neon-synth, post-punk, Duran-Duran-to-The-Cure stretch of new wave and 80s alternative that owned cable television in the early ’80s.
The group runs three vocalists, including lead singer Huey, who comes to the project with a documented track record across multiple Atlanta acts. The full band is drums, bass, keys, and guitar, augmented by backing tracks and run on in-ear monitors with a wired, professional stage setup.
Their setlist pulls from across the genre’s full breadth: “Hungry Like the Wolf,” “Rio,” “Sweet Dreams,” “Tainted Love,” “Take On Me,” “Don’t You Forget About Me,” “Just Like Heaven,” “Bizarre Love Triangle,” “White Wedding,” “Need You Tonight,” and deeper catalog picks like “Melt With You,” “Cars,” “Head Over Heels,” and “Rebel Yell” that more casual 80s bands tend to skip over.
The band plays the dance-floor angle hard. Their first gig was in January 2023, and a venue-owner review on GigSalad from that night captures the effect: crowds were “singing and dancing to every song and just had an all out good time.” Melvis P., writing on GigSalad after a show at Dixie Tavern in Marietta, offered a capsule review – “WOOOZERS! What a show!” Steffie S.B. hired them for a surprise birthday party and called it a 100% recommendation.
That Dixie Tavern appearance is one of many regular stops on a busy north-metro circuit that includes Rock N Taco in Roswell, Roaring Social in Alpharetta, and Glade Marina in Acworth. In May 2025, they headlined the Lou Sobh Amphitheater in Cumming, the open-air community stage at Cumming City Center, as part of its free public concert series – the most significant public-venue booking currently on record for the act.
The Bash lists them starting at $2,000 per event with a travel radius of 100 miles. They book directly via email and are set up for corporate events, weddings, private parties, and venue nights.
For anyone planning a nostalgia-forward dance event – a themed birthday, corporate social, class reunion, private party, or outdoor festival slot – they offer a focused, well-documented new wave set with three vocalists and a growing Georgia track record.

Atlanta Vice
Atlanta Vice is an Atlanta-based six-piece covering the full 80s spectrum, from the synth-pop of the Starcourt Mall era through post-punk, new wave, glam rock, and guitar-driven pop rock. They frame it as the “Live ’80s Rewind Experience,” a description that turns out to be more than just a tagline.
The band runs drums, bass, two guitars, and keys, with four vocalists sharing the front. Drummer Joel Tisinger is a Carrollton, GA native. Other members haven’t been publicly named, though the musicians collectively carry more than 20 years of original music and regional touring behind them.
No full public setlist has been released for their standard shows. Their most specific repertoire information comes from their Stranger Things-themed production, where four narrative chapters are built around songs from Madonna and The Go-Go’s, then Eurythmics and Duran Duran, then Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill,” then a hard-rock finale moving through Metallica and Journey. Outside that format, their general sets are described by multiple promoters as covering 80s MTV hits across new wave, post-punk, glam, and pop rock.
The Stranger Things show is the more involved production: video chapters triggered live via QLab, HDMI output for house projection systems or LED walls, all-ages staging, and period-appropriate gear. The band can supply their own short-throw projector if a house system isn’t available. Standard event sets drop the cinematic structure but pull from the same deep catalog.
Confirmed venues include the Historic Ritz Theatre at The Schaefer Center in Toccoa (December 2024), Live Wire Athens (February and March 2026), and the Amp at Adamson Square in Carrollton, where a 2024 show was sponsored by the University of West Georgia Alumni Association as part of Alumni Weekend. They’ve also played MoonShadow Tavern and Stillfire Brewing in the Atlanta metro.
A Bandsintown reviewer who had attended twice wrote: “They never disappoint. I love their energy, song selection, and musicianship” (Wayne, Tucker, GA, November 2024). Stranger Things Tours of Jackson, GA, quoted on the band’s own website, called it “the kind of night where you forget what time it is and just stay in it.”
Their technical setup accommodates silent-stage events through direct amp capability and independent IEM fly-packs. Booking inquiries go directly through their website for weddings, corporate events, festivals, and private parties.
The Stranger Things production is specifically suited for theater venues, arts centers, themed events, and any booking with screen or LED wall capability. Their standard 80s set is a practical option for weddings, corporate alumni nights, private parties, and 80s-themed club shows where the goal is a dancing crowd that knows every chorus.
