Flopcast 637: Drummers With Hats

Our five-part New Wave Game was just preparation for this week. Kevin and the Mayor of Chickentown have a full report on the latest (and longest) retro 80s new wave concert to come to town. The eight (EIGHT!) acts were: The Plimsouls, Tommy Tutone, Bow Wow Wow, Wang Chung, Men Without Hats, Modern English, Thompson Twins, and Thomas Dolby! So we melted with you, we wanted candy, we were blinded with science, we got Jenny's phone number, and we may have even Wang Chunged. But let's keep that our little secret.

Show Notes

Check out the remaining dates for the Totally Tubular Festival.

---

Annabella's Bow Wow Wow is the only version you need to see!

---

Should we Wang or should we Chung?

---

It's too dark to see in this shot, but trust us, the drummer is in full rebellion!

---

He was never actually a (Thompson) Twin, but Tom Bailey now has Sisters of Mercy.

And finally, Thomas Dolby was as cool as we expected him to be.
