THE WAVOS

Taking the '80s Beyond :: The Wavos are an ARENA-SIZED bar, pub & club band, presenting an absolutely huge show of new wave-influenced covers & originals. Don't miss their next wave-o dance party!

If you like the "First Wave" channel on Sirius Radio, you'll love The Wavos.

Like the pioneers of the most creative decade in pop music, they specialize in New Wave, the infectious collision of rock and dance music that got MTV started. With just three guys from New York, Virginia and South Carolina in the band – Joe on guitars and vocals, Gordon on synthesizer, bass and vocals, and Tone on electronic drums – you won't believe how rich and authentic the sound is, and you'll get caught up in dance frenzy by the intensity of their performance.

There's no obscurity in their set: even the quirkiest songs on the list were hits, and while they prefer to avoid the cheesier pop of the decade, they're happy to please their crowd with a killer rendition of a Journey, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Prince, Michael Jackson or Madonna song. They have an original look that plays into the inventive spirit of the '80s (as in Devo's flowerpot helmets) without resorting to brightly-colored spandex and leg warmers, which they leave to their audience to wear in new and interesting ways. The wave has been spreading since 2009 and fans are flocking like seagulls to The Wavos' four-hours-of-fun new-wave-o dance parties in the New York City, Washington D.C. and Myrtle Beach areas. If you love new wave, The Wavos will deliver your party like no other!
