Tribute to The British Invasion

Genre: Rock/Tribute
Doors: 3:00PM
Show: 4:00PM

Since in the mid-1960s, audiences of the U.S. have been captivated by an armada of rock groups hailing from across the pond in the U.K., beginning with the first of 3 waves in the "British Invasion.” Brandishing a tone and image heavily influenced by the rebellious rock n' roll acts of the American 1950s, the English put their own edgy yet sophisticated spin on the same defiant youthful attitude. Cultivating a raucous new sound and unprecedented fandom at live concerts, bands such as The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks, and The Beatles led the charge on legions of American. The 70's and 80's saw the 2nd wave headed by groups such as The Clash, The Sex Pistols, and The Police blending rock and pop styles into a sound that permeated the western popular music scene. The late 80's and 90's brought the 3rd wave as Oasis, Radiohead, and their many contemporaries continued to inspire, innovate, and establish a heavy presence in modern rock music. Join the ranks of redcoats and surrender your sound to the British Invasion!
