DUE TO THE WEATHER we had to close The Listyning Room today, January 24th. PHIL's 80's BEDROOM event has been moved to Saturday, March 14th.
Welcome to Phil's 80's Bedroom, an event dedicated to the New Wave musical invasion that transformed the airwaves. This wasn't just pop; it was a cultural upheaval—a sonic torrent of Punk, Synth-Pop, Goth, and New Romantic sounds that criss-crossed the Atlantic and defined a generation. Let's dive into the pioneering music that gave us pulsating electronic rhythms, dramatic aesthetics, introspective lyrics, and timeless synth-driven melodies.
For Gen X, the 1980s were the cusp of adulthood, and this new music was the perfect soundtrack for charting new courses in musical identity, fashion, and fandom. We'll feature the brooding poetry of The Cure and The Smiths, the art-school cool of Talking Heads, the glamour of Spandau Ballet, wild and experimental Devo, and the dark dance energy of Depeche Mode.
Settle in to The Listyning Room, grab a drink, and join us as we recapture the excitement of discovering your favorite band for the first time—a truly nostalgic journey back to the privacy and passion of Phil's 80's Bedroom.
Doors open at 6:30pm. All music is played on The Listyning Room's world-class stereo system featuring Audio Note, Klipsch and Cambridge Audio.
Your $20 Donation includes admission, complimentary snacks and beverages, and up to 3 complimentary adult beverages from a great selection of beer, wine, mixed drinks, and NA options.
