MEGA 80’S
FRIDAY, 8:30 -10:00PM & 10:20PM – 11:00PM (FIREWORKS AT 10:00PM!)
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/Cover Band in 2002, and have won this category every year through 2013! 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. This also includes playing at the Palace of Auburn Hills and being highlighted on Mitch Albom and Fox 2 News.
Lead vocalist for the Mega 80’s, Carey Denha, has been the vocalist of Going Public, a Michigan State band he played in when he attended the university in the 90’s. Carey has now embarked upon managing other high-end production bands like the Mega 80’s in his new venture, Tangerine Moon Productions. So far, Tangerine Moon Productions has brought into the musical fold three other great shows, The Hype Syndicate (top 40’s tribute band), Boogie Dynomite (a multimedia disco tribute) and The Square Pegz (the female fronted counterpart to the Mega 80’s). Tangerine Moon Productions will also be bringing other high end Las Vegas type acts to Detroit as well.
With all of the continued improvements to the show, from dancers to enhanced video media (even personalized birthday/bachelorette messages), the Mega 80’s and Tangerine Moon Productions will continue to fill concert halls and add to your experience. From the banks of the Red Cedar at Michigan State University to House of Blues, fans agree that the Mega 80’s put on a show like no one else!
KILLER FLAMINGOS
SATURDAY, 9:00PM – 11:00PM
Bright, colorful, vibrant… those are some of the first things that come to mind when you think of flamingos. But they are also steady, firm, and well-balanced; which is exactly the combo you get with the Killer Flamingos. After 17 years together, they are established as one of the premiere cover bands in the Midwest. Their reputation for excellence and professionalism precedes them, whether the Flamingos are playing a corporate event for Allstate Insurance, keeping the dance floor hopping at an upscale wedding, or entertaining throngs of people at an annual festival like Arts, Beats and Eats.
It is a standard carefully crafted by five talented musicians who have been together in their current incarnation for over 10 and a half years. The Killer Flamingos consist of Todd Best, Michelle Carrallavah, Darren Drake, David Gondoly, and Tim Webber. Darren Drake (keyboards) has been there since the start and remains the only member of the original band still playing with the group. He has been a musician since youth, starting out on trumpet before braces forced him to gravitate toward a Casio keyboard. By high school Drake had his own band, well -known at talent shows and area venues.
That considerable versatility, combined with off-the-chart levels of crowd interaction has kept the Flamingos at the top of fan voted lists like Hour Detroit Magazine’s “Best Band” and WDIV’s Click On Detroit’s “Best Local Band” for numerous years since 2008. They recently received the Metro Times 2017 “Best Cover Band” distinction.
Making a full-time living in the music industry is no easy task, but these five performers continue to be relevant. This is no weekend bar band, the Killer Flamingos is made up of seasoned professional and their dedication is evident at every show. There aren’t a lot of jobs out there where one can get applauded every 3-4 minutes, but there aren’t a lot of bands out there who leave it all on the stage like the Killer Flamingos.
