It'a an old-time revival. Not in the religious sense, just in the sense that the 80's were a long time ago now, and here we've got a band from the 80's, back together in 2010, playing 80's hits. It's The Chest Pains from Ocean City, Maryland, bringin' it (what is now) oldschool. Look at some of the songs in their songlist -- it's New Wave heaven all the way: "Mirror In the Bathroom," "I Melt With You," "Don't You (Forget About Me)", "Just What I Needed", "Pretty in Pink" and dozens more, plus some more contemporary stuff from Oasis and The Killers.
This incarnation includes founding members Byron Anthony on lead vox and guitar and Jeff Davis on bass and vox, plusJeff Davis on lead guitar and vox and Joe Mama on the drums. (That can't be a real name, right?) The next show listed on their website is Wednesday, Aug. 11, 9 p.m.-1 a.m. at Charlie's Bayside, 604 Coastal Highway, Fenwick, Delaware. So go see 'em! Or follow them on Facebook.
