Meet The Band

Ducky

Guitar/Lead Vocals

Clean-cut Ducky shreds his vintage Les Paul guitar like he’s mowing down an 80’s Chia Pet. At 34 years old, his passion for New Wave music started when he raided his uncle’s record collection– and he’s still at it. His appreciation for detail shines through as he recaptures vocal nuances resulting in passionate performances that leave audiences spellbound.

Miss “X”

Lead Vocals

Miss X is the band’s lovely and talented songstress. With auburn locks à-la Molly Ringwald, Jennifer Grey’s spunk, and the presence of Deborah Harry, this 80s baby is right at home singing and dancing to the decade’s most iconic New Wave anthems.

Jesse James

Bass/Vocals

Jesse plays a Steinberger bass. Yes, the one that looks like a blue boat oar that’s the equivalent to an 80’s key-tar. He’s thrilled to feel the songs of his boyhood emanating through his fingers as he leaps around the stage, taking breaks between songs to entertain the crowd with his very bif white teeth :).

Bishop

Drums/Vocals

Bishop the drummer is never too loud and never too soft. He’s… just right! With his aggressive embrace of compelling dance beats, he’s steady as the romance plot in an 80’s John Hughes movie. Dancers that don’t know why they love this band love Bishop.
