There was something about experiencing the decade of the 1980s. If you lived it you know what I am talking about. If not there is so much pop culture that included movies, musical artists and video games that still take one back to that period of time today. Abducted By The 80s was created to transport us back in time to that era to remember the great times and fun we had. These may not be the biggest bands from that era but bands that are forever enshrined to that period of time. Continue reading →

The Renegades & Juke Box Heroes tour featured the final Foreigner tour with co-headliner Styx and special guest opener the incomparable John Waite.

Stryper made their way to Buffalo over the weekend for their first area appearance in some ten years. This time was quite different as the appropriately titled tour To Hell With The Amps landed them at the Town Ballroom. While the turnout wasn’t quite what the venue and promoters may have wanted, those in attendance will take a rare area appearance by the band any way they can get them. While the Town Ballroom hands down is the best of the 1000 seaters in town, this was not an ideal choice for this type of show (see below). Continue reading →
