The Mega 80’s are Detroit’s most successful cover band. Playing songs from across the fabulous decade they are named from, the band sells out venues with apparent ease.

“I used to be in a band called the M80, also playing 80’s covers, and we started in 1998,” says singer Carey Denha. “We started up in Michigan State. We play a retrospective of the ‘80s. We cover everything from British new wave to the hair bands of the ‘80s. We even play some midwestern rock, like John Cougar Mellencamp.”

With their impressive light show and a startling array of outfits (remember those haircuts and all that luminous footwear?), The Mega 80’s make every effort to transport their audience back a couple of decades and enjoy the best nostalgia trip in town. Frankie may have said “Relax” but The Mega 80’s say “Dance, God-dammit.”

Going so far as to seek out the instruments that bands were using in the ‘80s in order to get their sound exactly right, The Mega 80’s sell out nearly everywhere they play and have proven that there’s still a market for rehashed new-romantic anthems.

Former bank-manager Denha is glad to be able to say that The Mega 80’s is now his full-time job. “I do not want to go back to that,” Denha says. “I’m far happier playing ‘80s tunes for a living.”
