Description

TOTALLY 80's is a 4-piece live band from the L.A. area performing the best new wave eighties music. The band takes you back to that decade by playing hits from your favorite groups like Depeche Mode, Police, Flock of Seagulls, Duran Duran, the Cure, etc. All band members are costumed while playing to resemble 80's icons such as George Michael, Billy Idol, Valley Girl, and Adam Ant to provide a unique and festive "Halloween party"-like atmosphere.

TOTALLY 80's features both male AND female lead vocalists so you'll hear songs from Rick Springfield, Prince, and Bon Jovi, as well as from the Go-go's, Cyndi Lauper, and Madonna. A diverse style of 80's hits is played, from synthesizer-based songs like Simple Minds' "Don't you forget about me" and Gary Numan's "Cars", to guitar-based rockers like Billy Idol's "Rebel yell" or Stray Cats' "Rock this town".

In addition to offering our live band services, we offer DJ music services before our band starts playing. This service is popular with clients having a dinner phase of their 80's-themed party prior to the dancing phase. For wedding receptions, we provide a complete emcee/DJ/live band package.

For events where space or budget is a priority, we also offer a 3-piece version of our line-up including a guitarist/keyboardist, a bassist, and a drummer. All members of the 3-piece version sing lead and harmony vocals, offering a stripped-down 80's live band performance sure to fit into even the tightest client budget or into the smallest banquet room band area or backyard patio.

So if you're having an 80's-themed party, contact TOTALLY 80's for your live music needs. We look forward to playing at your upcoming event.

Thanks, Jeff.

Feedback

  • Totally 80's made my birthday better than I could have imagined. Everyone enjoyed the music and danced all night. Thank you guys you were awesome and I highly recommend them to make any event one you or your guests will not forget. -- Cindy K, HAWTHORNE, CA, 4/21/2012
  • My first time hiring a band, they did not disappoint. They blew it out of the park. The party guests were thoroughly entertained. Good look, Good vocals Good "LIVE" music, Good entertainment for all ages. I will definitely be hiring them for future events. Jeff the leader is very pleasant to deal with and by the way I recommend having the 4th band member "Melissa", she completes the already good package with her female vocals and keyboard. -- Masis Y, Woodland Hills, CA, 4/7/2012
  • This band was Amazing!! They far exceeded my expectations and made my 80's birthday party a total success. All my guests loved them and are still talking about how great they are. -- Theresa H, Walnut, CA, 2/18/2012
  • They were engaging with audience which was a major plus! -- Chanel H, Pasadena, CA, 12/23/2011
  • I would highly recommend Totally 80's for any occassion. They were very easy going, accomodating and played all the right songs...our friends had a blast - we all danced the entire time they were playing. Everyone had an amazing time! Thanks guys!! -- Carey M, Hawthorne, CA, 8/27/2011
  • Are you kidding - would I recommend them? Absolutely - although, I probably won't have to! Most all my guests left with their business cards they wanted! Everyone had a great time, and Jeff Brown was very well prepared with even the smallest requests I had. He was prompt with returning emails, and even ironed out possible snafus that could have occurred. They sounded GREAT and were extremely personable, keeping the party alive! Their price is beyond fair! Party on! -- Deborah A, Sherman Oaks, CA, 4/23/2011
  • They were a very good band for the party played well and had the party dancing. Without any input for us their set list was just right and everyone seemed to like it. -- Mike K, Woodland Hills, CA, 3/19/2011
  • These guys were great. They were very fun with all kinds of different 80's songs classics and dance tunes. I would rehire them in a second. -- Michael M, Newport Beach, CA, 7/24/2010
  • reliable group, affordable price and entertaining. A good group to have for an 80's event. -- Amy C, Malibu, CA, 6/19/2010
  • These guys put on a great show. Arrived early to set up and were ready to go on time. Great communication in coordinating with the DJ and with us. Very professional. Band had the party going and played the songs on their playlist. They sound much better live than the MP3s they have online. Definitely would book them again. -- Fernando R, Carson, CA, 12/31/2009
