(Niagara Falls, ON) October 24, 2023 – Feel the love this February with The 80’s Club: Honeymoon Suite, A Flock of Seagulls, Men Without Hats & Spoons as they bring the nostalgia and hits to the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino on February 10, 2024.
Honeymoon Suite hit their stride in 1984 with their self-titled debut album with four charting hits in Canada with “New Girl Now”, “Burning In Love”, “Wave Babies”, and “Stay In the Light”. Their follow up album, The Big Prize, was equally successful in Canada, with four more hits: “Bad Attitude”, “Feel It Again”, “What Does It Take”, and “All Along You Knew”. Lead vocalist and guitarist Johnnie Dee (of Niagara Falls, Ontario), is sure to bring a little extra energy to a hometown stage!
A Flock Of Seagulls may well be known for their haircuts as much as their hit single I Ran. A Flock of Seagulls were one of the prime movers in the 80’s new wave era. Growing out of the synth-heavy and ruthlessly stylish new romantic movement. “Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)” became a Top 40 hit in 1983 along with extensive references in popular culture – the band and haircut are referenced in Pulp Fiction, X-Men and The Wedding Singer.
With iconic chart-topping smash hits “Safety Dance” & “Pop Goes The World”, Men Without Hats brings to the stage a lot to get up and celebrate with classic hits and new ones from their recent albums – Again Part 1 and Again Part 2. Again Part 1 pays homage to artists past and present while Again Part 2 is original music with a heavy nod to the synth pop / new wave roots of the band.
Spoons, formed in 1980, an intrepid young band from Burlington, Ontario would soon make them a different kind of household word. They would help define the sound of pop and New Wave in the 80’s, with hits like “Nova Heart”, “Romantic Traffic”, “Old Emotions” and “Tell No Lies”.
Cathy Price, Vice President of Marketing, Niagara Casinos said “The 80’s Club artists have so many iconic hits that have stood the test of time, it will be a great night for guests to enjoy a night of music with seats no further than 150 ft away at the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino”.
