We don’t really plan Vinylly Friday too much, this is what happened the other week when we celebrated the hits of 1983 and more…[includes some bonus tracks not played during the evening]
In the hazy glow of flickering neon lights, Vinylly Friday unfolded as a sonic time capsule, encapsulating the sonic essence of 1983—the year that birthed musical gems that still resonate with a magnetic allure. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of this pivotal era, the night was an unapologetic plunge into the eclectic soundscapes that defined a generation.
The crowd, draped in vintage garb, embraced the synthesizer-infused beats and flamboyant melodies with infectious enthusiasm. From the sultry groove of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" to the infectious energy of Duran Duran's "The Reflex," the dance floor pulsed with a rhythm that transported us straight into the heart of the '80s.
Amidst this musical tapestry, one track emerged as a stone-cold killer—the haunting "Dear Prudence" by Siouxsie and the Banshees. Its ethereal echoes transcended time, leaving an indelible mark on the auditory senses. For those seeking a dance floor filler, Shannon's "Let the Music Play" reigned supreme, an irresistible anthem that transformed the venue into a pulsating dance haven.
But the unexpected thriller of the night came in the form of LCD Soundsystem's "Bye Bye Bayou." Amidst the '80s classics, this modern twist injected a refreshing, unpredictable energy that had the crowd grooving in delightful surprise.
Vinylly Friday, a musical expedition through the bygone era, delivered an auditory feast that transcended mere nostalgia. It wasn't a mere homage; it was an electrifying resurrection of sonic treasures. In five words: A retro journey that transcends.
