Tainted Love stole my heart

So this weekend was a live, cover band extravaganza for the birthday of yours truely.  Now, I never claim to be all up in the knowledge of the music scene…but I do love a good dance party.  And what is better for a dance party than 80′s music? Not much!  This theory was proven yet again when my friends and I went to see Tainted Love… only the best 80′s cover band you will ever come across.

Tainted Love hails from San Francisco where I spent a year and half working my first job after college.  When they played, it wasn’t just a concert – it was an event! No seriously, I’m not trying to be all snazzy with poetic verbiage now that I have a blog – Tainted Love shows ARE an event – an event that require dressing up and letting your hair down.  These shows have been voted to have the best people watching by the AYTT (anyone you talk to) Society.  Yes, 80′s outfits are bound to be hysterical when done right…but last Friday, it did seem that many people thought that anything tacky = 80′s.  But some really pulled it off – we saw a lot of metalic stretchy pants, off the shoulder shirts, zebra print, ugly 80′s prom dresses, and overdone make-up.  S-O AWESOME!

This band seriously rocks!!

So anyway…I was nervous that I had hyped them up too much for the friends that attended with me, but we danced the night away – in high heels and all.  Here are a couple videos for your enjoyment!  The first is their promo video from a couple years ago…and the second is a fan’s shot from right below stage.
