An 8 Track Massacre show is high energy. Audiences will be singing and dancing all night to some of the best music of the 1980's. Some members of the audience may also find themselves onstage behind a mic belting out an 80's classic with the band! 8TM regularly performs sets up to 90-100 minutes long. The band's song list includes almost every genre from the 80's- new wave, rap, hair metal, and R&B. An 8TM show has something for everyone who knows and loves the music of the 1980's!
