Blitz + Band in Columbia Heights, MN

ABOUT

The '80s definition of "Blitz" is a post-punk, new wave fad. We perform all of the greatest, most memorable new-wave hits of the 1980's. Think 80's MTV. Combining 80’s outfits, popular tunes, and prizes for winning 80’s trivia, this band succeeds in getting the audience involved and on their feet dancing.

Duplications of the original artists are spot on. Everything the band performs is live without the aid of back-up tracks, auto tune, or computers.

Our repertoire includes everything from Simple Minds, Psychedelic Furs, Depeche Mode, David Bowie, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Clash, The Cure, and The Ramones to Blondie, Joan Jett, ‘Til Tuesday, Missing Persons, R.E.M., The Smithereens, and more.

We practice once a week and perform 1-3 times per month.
