The Mega 80s Hits The Magic Bag

I have had the incredibly awesome opportunity to check these dudes out in Traverse City for an 80s party we put together.  I must tell ya, no one, and I mean NO ONE can bring you back to the 80s memory lane like they can.  I relived my childhood and young adult life all over again thanks to this band.  It doesn't matter where you're hanging out in the state of Michigan I recommend you track these cats down.  But if you're in the Detroit area, be sure to catch them at the Magic Bag.  They have a pretty good hold on several dates there.  Here's a little snippet I took directly from their web site to fill all ya Mega 80s virgins out there.

Take a handful of your favorite 80's songs, a splash of some retro fashion, a pinch of panache and an eye-popping video spectacle in the background and what do you get? The Mega 80's, of course! Since their emergence onto the Detroit music scene, the Mega 80's have taken southeast Michigan by storm. Now veterans of the 80's cultural milieu, they are still rocking as hard as ever. The proof is in the pudding. They've since been bestowed with awards such as: the Real Detroit's "Best of..." Best Live Production in 2003, '04, and '05. Best Cover Band in 2006-07, Best Live Performance in 2008, and Best Cover Band in 2009 and 2010. Hour Detroit's best local band, 2009. The Knot: Best of Weddings 2010 pick and one of WDIV's "4 The Best" top 5 bands two years running. This also includes playing at the Palace of Auburn Hills and being highlighted on Mitch Albom and Fox 2 News.


The band features some of the greatest players in the Detroit area. Drummer Jason Gittinger is a musician that can do anything. Jason's talent has been spotlighted many times, such as: TV specials with Kevin Bacon at the Fox Theater, recording international advertising campaigns for companies such as Cadillac, as well as extensive european tours with local and national acts. Guitarist Mick Khzouz, an accomplished musician that can play just about any guitar style, loves the positivity that the 80's era has brought back.
