Remember the Eighties? Sure, we all do...but the Legwarmers don't just remember the Eighties - they relive them. From the Simmons electronic drum kit to the checkered vans and skinny ties - the Legwarmers are the Eighties you remember. Fans have reported leaving shows trapped in character, blaming the Legwarmers for their ill-fated attempts at dancing on the ceiling and their inability to drive 55. The Legwarmers do the songs the way they were meant to be done - with a wink, a smile, and a sound that gels like Aqua Net.
With more moves than a Rubik's Cube, the Legwarmers take the stage like it's prom night in a John Hughes movie, a very special episode of "Square Pegs" and the Monsters of Rock Tour - all at once. So remember: this ain't no half-assed cover band, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around - it's the Legwarmers, the Ultimate 80s Tribute Band.
Roxanne "Roxy" Rio - Vocals. Long Island. September 27, 1985. Some called it the storm of the century, but for those who were there, it has only one name: Gloria.
It was an unusually warm September evening, and Roxanne was where she often was on a Friday night - in the bathroom with the radio cranked, a few pouches of cotton candy Pop Rocks and a pair of purple crimpers set to incinerate. Oblivious as the storm picked up speed outside of her bathroom window, she kept turning the radio louder and the crimpers hotter as the winds grew stronger. Trees began to tumble, taking power lines with them like Lincoln Logs onto Tinker Toys.
When she woke the next day, Roxanne's recollection was hazy at best. The last thing she remembered was hearing the DJ introduce "Tarzan Boy" over the din of crackling candy as she touched the crimpers to her ever-mounting coif. But that's when it happened. What exactly happened? No one knows for sure - chaos and power outages were reported across the island. What is clear is that Roxanne was never quite the same.
Looks like fun.
