What the New Wave Nation does is set the bar much higher for what a live band can and should be...An experience! Since 1998, they’ve been creating the look and feel of an 80s arena style rock concert, while performing the greatest anthems of the generation of excess, in a way that celebrates the best of what music has to offer! The constant evolution their play list and stage show keeps the band members and audience on their toes, allowing every performance to feel fresh and new! Utilizing modern day video technology, the New Wave Nation visually transports the audience through time and back, while performing the songs live, with a current feel, using their own arrangements, and tailoring a show around audience interaction and participation. From the thunderous sounds of Pour Some Sugar on Me, to the straight, no chaser burn of Smooth Criminal… New Wave Nation The 1980s Experience will leave you hung over for days
