The sounds of the ‘80s may have lost steam in the years following the decade, but the impact that the era had on many of today’s pop stars and indie pop bands is undeniable. Two of the bands at the forefront of that movement, Missing Persons and Bow Wow Wow, continue to allow fans to relive past glories at this dual headlining show. Bow Wow Wow has been cited by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and No Doubt as a major influence, with “I Want Candy” still a huge smash 30+ years later. While both of their salad days are in the past, each respective group continues to soldier on to the delight fans who aren’t ready to put the ‘80s behind them quite yet.
