WEBSITE | FACEBOOK

Embark on a nostalgic journey back to the golden era of music with First Wave, the premier tribute band dedicated to resurrecting the new wave and alternative anthems of the 70's, 80's, and 90's. This group of skilled musicians is fueled by a shared passion for the iconic sounds that defined a generation, bringing to life the melodies and rhythms that continue to resonate across the ages.

First Wave's repertoire is a carefully curated collection of hits from the pioneers of alternative, synth pop, new wave, and goth/industrial music. From the dark, poetic tunes of The Cure to the revolutionary synth sounds of Depeche Mode, and the boundary-pushing tracks of NIN and David Bowie, First Wave pays homage to a diverse array of musical legends. Their setlist is a who's who of the era, including anthems from The Smiths, Duran Duran, Billy Idol, REM, INXS, A Flock of Seagulls, The Church, The Police, and many more.

But First Wave offers more than just a musical performance; they provide an immersive experience. Each show is an audio-visual spectacle, featuring state-of-the-art lasers and visual elements that transport the audience back in time. This attention to detail not only honors the aesthetic of the original bands but also enhances the overall concert experience, making each song a journey through the sights and sounds of a bygone era.

What sets First Wave apart is their commitment to live performance. In an age where digital music reigns supreme, this band insists on the authenticity and energy of live instruments, capturing the raw emotion and passion that computer-generated sounds cannot replicate. It's this dedication to authenticity that has earned them a loyal following and the reputation as the ultimate tribute to the music that continues to inspire and move generations.

Whether you lived through the glory days of new wave and alternative music or are discovering these timeless tracks for the first time, a night with First Wave is an unforgettable escape into the heart of the music that shaped the modern musical landscape. Join them as they bring the past to life and prove that great music never fades—it only gets better with time.
