Retrobution

Very cool!

Ok, something I’ve been pondering, and it’s deep. So, I’m asking both the musically talented and the “I can only play a radio” segments of our fan base.
At what point can a musician officially be “bigger than the Beatles”? It’s such an industry taboo to even say. I honestly believe any artist or band should probably not publicly say it, at least. But what if that artist actually DESERVES it? You can do the math and figure number 1 hits, top 5, 10, and 20’s. Album sales, tickets sales and merchandising. Let’s take Phil Collins or Micheal Jackson for example. Were their careers not equal? Or dare I say….better? The music varieties in which we all prefer are too subjective to debate, but surely those previous elements I mentioned before can be taken into account? So I do say it’s POSSIBLE.
But then as a musician and a purist myself, I pondered a little longer and found roadblocks to my own argument. What about things like auto tune, lip syncing? Hiring 15 different professional songwriters to write your songs? As your own personal input goes down, despite your success, should you still count? It’s like putting the first cat into space. The cat CANNOT say (and yes, I understand cats can’t talk) that it’s the same as Neil Armstrong. As a cat owner, I can testify that cats have no motivation to get to space whatsoever. Especially if a human tries to get them to do it.
So there we are, now all wondering the same thing. I was discussing this with Kim the other night, and then Kevin at our last show. But I’d like to hear what you all have to contribute.

Our 2026 schedule updated Match 13...

Welcome new friends/fans!! Charla Rose, Heather Allen, Michelle Owens, Tiarra Hayes, ToniLynn Stead Ledbetter, Andrew Denchik, Sean Samko, Leslie Bailey, Michael Dean, Andee Andee, Stacey Zinkiewicz Monnin, Debra Shaw to mention a few.
We are gearing up for the 2026 season and can't wait to see all of you 80s rockers this year! Check out our page for upcoming events, and if you haven't seen the new promo video, it is pinned to the top of the page so you can't miss it. Check it out!!

It’s the end of the 2025 season for us, we’d like to thank all of our fans for coming out to see us this year. We played our last show last night in Lake St. Mary’s. We even included a new song for us, “Valotte” by Julian Lennon. We’re not your typical 80’s band, we love covering a large spectrum of songs, sometimes songs the other bands don’t play. Our interests have always been centered around bringing something unique to the listeners, and we very much appreciate that the fans love it. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Andy, John, Kevin, Todd, Micheal and Stephen! See you again in 2026! We love you all, and God Bless!
