The band was formed by good friends who have spent years touring and recording in a variety of musical settings. We love to play music together and have always had a fondness for the music of the 80s. After perusing our LPs for inspiration, the band put together a list of favorite songs and took up the challenge to become the definitive 80s experience.It’s All About The Details
The synth-based dance music of the 80s is a rich tapestry of sound with layered keyboards, electronic percussion, and highly polished production. There are plenty of bar bands out there playing a rough approximation of those 80s hits. As the saying goes, “the devil is in the details”. The challenge in playing such complex and recognizable music is to painstakingly recreate all the subtle nuances and tiny details. It’s hard to do it really well, and we put immense effort into preparing these songs for performance, tweaking synth patches, programming guitar tones and dialing in the electronic percussion. It has to be right. But that’s what makes the difference between getting it “in the ballpark” and nailing it.
’80s Invasion , ’80s Tribute band from Seattle Washington is returning to the Mix to perform a full show of ’80s new wave, synth-pop/crossover and dance music Saturday, March 19th. When ’80s Invasion perform at the Mix it usually turns out to be a fun, crazy party, so if you are in the Georgetown or South Seattle area that night and enjoy dancing to ’80s music, try not to miss this. Hearing this band at the Mix is a great opportunity to catch this music in a live setting. The updated sound system and engineering at the Mix together with this band is a really good combination.

Laguna will be performing at Tost, opening up for two great bands, Satellite by Night and Bucket of Honey.
Laguna: The music group Laguna is the creation of songwriter/drummer/programmer Shane Peck and vocalist/lyricist Lydia Nor. The music style combines art-pop, electronica, ambient, reggae/dub, soca and some Jazz elements. The band was officially formed in 1998. The current line-up includes bassist/arranger Noah Wilson, keyboardist Markus von Prause and alto saxophone player/percussionist Brian Hartman. They just released a new recording, “Volcano”.

Bucket of Honey: This Neoacoustifunk HipHop duo is made up of one part Nate Bogopolsky AKA Nate B, one part Annie Jantzer. Beginning his musical career as a singer, Nate B writes most of his tunes with a simple guitar strumming accompaniment, thus spawned the easy to swallow sound and feel of much of Bucket of Honey’s music. He has been involved in the music scene in Seattle for many years playing in groups such as Seattle Opera Company, The Dickens Carolers, The Peeon Yabutts, and Kickshaw. The other half of Bucket of Honey, flute and vocals, is a brain damaged cocky farm girl who get’s bucked off the horse and gets right back on none the wiser. That same gusto and lack of shame led Annie Jantzer to pursue a career in theatre. With a BA in theatre arts, she moved to Seattle and randomly joined forces with Nate. The rest, as they say, is history.

Satellite By Night: Satellite by Night’s musical influences may be as far reaching as the origins of its members; Okinawa, Chile, and the USA. CJ, Gabe, Mas and Mike cite folk, funk, dub, rock, metal, trance, soul, and ambient musical styles as their personal influences, and the band’s self-labeled “folk-fusion groove” sound is cohesive yet diverse.
