Final summer blast -- at a discount

AUGUST 28, 2008

Some great news for Tampa Bay '80s fans: Ruth Eckerd Hall is running a sale on tickets for this Saturday's "Regeneration Tour" stop in Clearwater.

Fans can buy four tickets for $80 now. Remember, the show starts promptly at 7 p.m. -- an early start time because there are five bands set to hit the stage, starting with Naked Eyes -- one act that you MUST NOT MISS.

For those outside the bay area, no sweat: I plan to blog live from backstage. You can just play your "greatest-of" CDs while you read along.

For those who still doubt that '80s music is the ultimate power in the universe, here are links again to interviews with Martin Fry of ABC and Pete Byrne of Naked Eyes.

Listen to the ABC interview: Features the new single "The Very First Time" along with clips from their other hit songs.
Listen to the Naked Eyes interview: Features a song off their upcoming "Piccadilly" album, along with an acoustic version of "Always Something There To Remind Me," as well as other great songs you've forgotten.
