Flashback

It's unavoidable!!! The 80s are back in every way. The music. The fashion. Little bits and pieces of the 80s are resurfacing in almost everything "new" that is coming out. The problem is that the younger generation doesn't realize that it is just a regurgitation of the 80s generation. They have no context to put all of these fashions and new bands into, so some are actually under the impression that it is new.

Well we here at the Howlin Wolf Northshore have a solution. It is a little 80s history lesson called Flashback!!! Flashback is a band hailing from Los Angeles that plays nothin' but the 80s. It will be a rare opportunity for the younger generation to catch a glimpse of where everything that they like came from.

The members of Flashback sport identities from the heroes of 80s Glam rock. Present in the band is Michael Bret, Billy, Flash, and Shaun Jovi (you don't have to look too hard to discover who they are emulating, check em' out here). Here's what the band has to say for themselves:
We as FLASHBACK are going to bring back some memories that you may have forgotten, but once held onto so closely as you lived through the most radical decade ever. At the time MTV actually played videos! I know can you believe it?? They featured bands that had guys dressing like chicks, and chicks dressing like…well you know. Crazy hair and make-up was essential, the more you had and the more flamboyant the better. We fell in love with the era and embraced the music and the stars who created it like no other. We promise to re-create some of them and give you a hell of a time to remember. Reach to the back of your closet and pull out some of that old flashy clothes, because the FLASHBACK has started! Come and take a trip with us!! We hope to see all of you there!!

So come on out and have a Flashback to the 80s with the Howlin Wolf Northshore on Friday, October 30th.

See ya at the Wolf!!!
