Girls Just Wanna Have Prom : The Dudley Manlove Quartet 80s Prom
As you are probably aware, I play in a couple of local bands. People sometimes ask me to provide advance notice for my shows. So here it is: one of my bands is The Dudley Manlove Quartet and we’re hosting our annual “80s Prom” this month at Neumos. 80s prom?! Yes, that’s right… this year’s event is called Girls Just Wanna Have Prom, and we’ll be performing New Wave and Big Hair hits from MTV’s glory days, including chart-toppers from Journey, Cyndi Lauper, Night Ranger, Madness, Pat Benatar, Bryan Adams, David Bowie, the Buggles, Wang Chung, Europe, Huey Lewis and the News, and Duran Duran.
It’s like a Delorean-powered time machine to the land of total awesomeness. Think about it: you can relive your prom night from the 80s, possibly correcting errors in the space-time continuum (results not guaranteed). Here is your chance to (1) break out that great prom outfit that you’ve so carefully saved all these years (2) earn / re-earn your rightful designation as PROM KING / QUEEN (3) unabashedly sing along to your favorite songs from that zany decade and (4) stay out dancing until 2:00 AM without getting grounded (also not guaranteed). The decorating committee is hard at work… we’re making our horn section exercise their lung power blowing up balloons, and the tall guys are putting up streamers. And of course we’ll have a photo area, so you can carry a wallet-size memento of this glorious night. Dust off your best Molly Ringwald moves for an 80s Dance-Off, or compete for marginally valuable prizes in the Ugliest Prom Dress and Biggest Hair competitions. 80s-wear is WAY encouraged, but like totally optional.
