I know I've asked or floated this idea before. I emailed Yella once. I'm assuming a hair metal pole was already done knowing this crowd. Let's make it happen! I have more tim than I have since 2016 or so.

I'm not opposed to the idea, but the tricky part is New Wave would be by far the most niche genre ever attempted in these here parts.
It is tricky. Was Duran Duran new wave or hair?

New wave morphed into synthpop when you start getting into Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys....not saying that's bad, it's like rap morphing into hip hop into gangsta rap. For example, one of my faves-
#wheelhouse
Depeche Mode to Yazoo to Erasure
Erasure had two sold out shows at the Moore I think a year or so ago. Secondary market was pricey.
Joy Division to New Order was also an interesting transition.
Other bands:
OMD
ABC
Simple Minds
A Flock of Seaguls
Thompson Twins
Psychedelic Furs
One Hit Wonders:
When in Rome
AHa - I recommend their unplugged album
I should consult my older siblings. They were super into new wave, and it was basically the soundtrack of my growing up.
OG bitches
Sleeper pick
Probably my most played music these days cause it brings me back to the 80s glory days of being young, super fit, preppy as fuck, drinking cheap beer, wine coolers, horrible weed, and banging just about any young hottie that looked at me.
An escape from this pandemic bullshit.
