Music in the 80s

OK OK i will admit it i have a very high strong sense love for the 80s. I have been called a 80s throwback at one point in my life. I am always looking in the vintage stores thinking wow the guys in breakfast club would have loved this outfit. However nowadays it has the modern twist of the dark 'punk' era involved and i like very much soo.
I am totally in love with two bands that my mum would have been throwing her knickers at if they where in the 80s very Duran Duran style.

So i have blogged about these guys before and i will blog them again but these time a video comes along to back my opinion on them. I found out about these guys at my local hung place trinity in Harrow NW London, feel in love amazing buzz about these guys at the moment airplay includes Radio one, XFM, Radio 6, NME, Q plus many more to date yet i think they still remain unsigned. Rogues first single 'Not so pretty' was released by 50bones record the guys behind Little Boots, so lets hope only good things can happen to them.

First single: Let me know what you think?

My other favourite 80s influenced band at this moment in time is The virgins
So you may have heard of them or not if your from America then yes you swines you are more likely then a brit to have heard of them. I am totally in love with them at the moment i have managed to catch them twice and still gunning down for more London dates. When i hear them i go in a dreamy mode and at times feel like i am at a America school pool party getting wasted with quirky shiny hipsters , utter cheese i know but i like these mode.
The stage presences of Donald Cumming is amazing, the outfits are ridiculous wicked, got to love a bit of a chest on display
It was a really hard choice on which video to blog, in the end i chose Private Affair just check the shorts and hairstyles please. AMAZING!!
