Description

Guess who Gigmasters named "Top '80s Band" nationwide? Us!

Airwave 80s carefully recreates the sounds of the '80s New Wave genre ... it's all the upbeat, fun, danceable music you used to hear on MTV! We're no garage band; we're seven professional musicians -- with both male and female vocalists -- playing our licks LIVE (no tracks or pre-recorded vocals), and we are VERY cognizant of how important your event is to you. We even carry our own excellent sound system and a spectacular lighting show. Got a special tune that's not on our list? We'll learn it. We work very hard to ensure that everything is absolutely perfect. Call us for a free consultation on how we can make you look like a GENIUS for finding us.

Feedback

  • The band was amazing. They really knew how to play a crowd. They had everyone at the wedding dancing their asses off. GREAT jOB -- Kevin M, Bastrop, TX , 8/9/2008
  • The entire group was awesome. They are all very professional and mixed with our group well. As soon as I met the band it was like I had worked with them before they were all so accomodating and professional and very fun. I can't say enough good things about them. I will say that the location we had the event at was having problems with their system which caused issues for the band, but they worked with everything and never once acted like it was an issue. They were all very nice and caring and basically just wanted to make sure we were having a great time. Love them. Will definitely use them again. I wish I had know about them in June when I got married!!!! -- Kerri V, Fairview, TX, 11/7/2009
  • Airwave 80's was a fun and energetic band! They sang a lot of the great new wave hits that are so fun to dance to! They are an awesome band and I would highly recommend them for your event! -- Masa P, Austin, TX, 4/24/2009
  • Airwave 80s was the hit of our party. The talent is superb....they really know how to entertain and work the crowd. I would highly recommend Airwave 80s to anyone who wants to hire a band for any occasion. They are flexible with the type of music you want for your event, whether it be a sit down dinner, or a wild party...Airwave 80s is the way to go!! -- Fausto Y, San Antonio, TX, 11/15/2008
