We recently had the pleasure of hiring The Lost Boys through GigSalad for a special event, and I cannot express enough how thrilled we were with their performance. From start to finish, this band exceeded all expectations and truly made our event unforgettable. Right from the initial communication, The Lost Boys demonstrated professionalism and enthusiasm. They were responsive to our inquiries, accommodating with our requests, and showed genuine interest in tailoring their performance to suit the atmosphere we wanted to create. This level of commitment and attention to detail immediately set them apart. When the day of the event arrived, the band arrived on time, well-prepared, and with an infectious energy that captivated everyone in the room. Their musical talent is exceptional, and they effortlessly moved between genres, ensuring that there was something for every musical taste in our diverse audience. Our guests had a great time and we highly recommend The Lost Boys!
Response from The Lost Boys - Ultimate 80s Dance Band:
Lindsey, it was our pleasure to entertain your group and cap off such a fun night for the season! We wish you & your company continued great success in 2024!
I was looking to hire a band that would cater to all ages and who would be able to bring great tunes for 2 hours. Happy to have hired The Lost Boys. Very pleased and everyone really enjoyed themselves. Incredible lead singer and very energetic! Would def hire them again for future events.
We love The Lost Boys and always have an amazing time at their performances, so it was a no-brainer to celebrate my husband's birthday with them. Our friends had a blast dancing to some of our favorite songs and we really appreciated the personal birthday shout-out and group sing along to Happy Birthday. We enjoy every performance we get to attend and have more fun than should be allowed by law.
We had the Lost Boys for our home party. The music and lighting were spot on. They played 80's dance tunes that sounded like the original artist. It was a Halloween party and one set was fun dance Halloween songs. They were prepared and brought all sound and lighting equipment. We will definitely hire them again. They were great, what a fun evening!!!
Response from The Lost Boys - Ultimate 80s Dance Band:
Thank you so much, Yvette & Stephen, for including us in your Epic Halloween party! We appreciate the kind words and all your hospitality- performing for you & your guests is definitely our pleasure. Happy Halloween!
The Lost Boys rocked our 1980’s themed Halloween Party with a combination of Dance, Pop and Rock Hits. Great vocals and guitar work as well even on a chilly night. Highly recommend this band!
Response from The Lost Boys - Ultimate 80s Dance Band:

Lead Vocalist Renee Edd sang before she spoke.
She has worked with several popular Houston bands like Primal Funktion, Surrender Dorothy, & Pocket Change. She’s also been part of several original pop-rock projects including ‘Osiris’. Her original music has been heard on local radio and internet radio. She’s toured all over Texas and performed in places as far away as Paris, London, Puerto Vallarta, & Scotland as well as all over the US in groovy cities like New Orleans, Nashville, New York & Orlando.
She’s worked with MTV, Rolling Stone, and ABC – New York. Her other gigs include directing and producing award-winning film, commercials, corporate video projects and coaching acting for film.
With her operatic and broadway training, the only thing she can’t sing is Death Metal… oh, well. We all have our limitations.
Guitarist Michael Lee was born in San Antonio, Texas & weened on hard rock and heavy metal… Favorite influences were Judas Priest, Van Halen, AC/DC, Styx, Night Ranger, and Def Leppard. The 80s bug bit him hard– and has since never let go…
A champion of the stage, he studied acting and theatre in London at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. But graduating with a degree in Advertising, he went on to film and video
pursuits… leaving his passion for music and acting behind.
As a television writer, editor, and Emmy-nominated
producer, he’s produced “The E! True Hollywood Story,” “TV Tales,” “Rank,” “Fashion Emergency” and “Wild On” for E! Networks, “Texas Justice” for Fox, and locally, “The Debra Duncan Show” for ABC/Buena Vista Television. And a host of sports events and travelogues for national cable
networks…
And Mike has done his part professionally to keep the 80s alive. Producing a special “Back To The Eighties” tribute in 2002, he brought the original band, Berlin, to Houston to perform on the show. (Hey, where do you think “Bands Reunited” got their inspiration?) And in 1999, he co-produced the reunion concert of The Go-Go’s live from NYC. (yes, Belinda Carlisle fell in love with him… how could she resist?)
In 2003, after returning from another TV stint in LA, he formed The Lost Boys to bring the “80s Retro Wave” of West Hollywood back east to the Bayou City. The band represents an opportunity to return to his musical roots while remaining at home in the entertainment spotlight.
Keyboardist Andrew Richardson oozes Nashville pride. Not only did he pick up a degree in music from Belmont University in Music City, but he also played in a country-blues band there for five years (“uh, stick with us kid… you’ll go places.”) And, he hung out with the beautiful daughters of Mr. Monday Night Football, Hank Williams, Jr. (Yes, Holly Williams!)
Rounding out the band are Bassist Nathan Kyle and Drummer Justin Benson, both seasoned musicians from the Houston music scene who veteran performers and dedicated to their craft of holding up a firm rhythm section to keep all dancing the night away!
We are pretty self-contained; please contact for specifics on sound, staging, etc.

We're all about the 80s...TOTALLY, Man!
So....we have bits of Madonna, Billy Idol, Def Leppard, The Cars, The Cure, The Go-Go's. A little bit of everyone from the MTV generation!
But we also throw in some great dance hits and sing-a-longs from the 70s, 90s, and even some contemporary stuff on occasion. But, shhh.... don't let that out. It's our little Lost Boys secret.
We just require a space of at least 16' X 20'
