Fascination80s

Fascination80s Before Fascination80s, there was Trash Disco - an 80s music show born in September 2002 on community radio station Southern FM.

Capturing the sounds and the feel of the early 80s UK clubs, we play the best synthpop, new wave & alternative artists like DURAN DURAN, HUMAN LEAGUE, HEAVEN 17, ULTRAVOX, NEW ORDER, JOY DIVISION, CURE, SIOUXSIE, DEPECHE MODE and MORE! The show was born again in October 2015, this time 80s & 90s based. After playing music on air for years, it was time to take it out live. Fascination80s launched in May 2023, and we've been having fun ever since!

Some great songs on this album and they really captured the classic Ultravox sound

'Brilliant' was released on this day in May 2012. Ultravox's 11th studio album, it reached No. 21 in the UK album charts. 🎹

"When we decided to record our version of 'Don't Leave Me This Way', we wanted to take Harold Melvin's soul classic and completely supercharge it into a high-energy, political celebration for the club scene. Combining Sarah Jane Morris’s deep, incredible vocals with my falsetto created this amazing friction. We knew it felt special in the studio, but watching it become the biggest-selling record of the year was absolutely mind-blowing."

"We chose synthesizers because they represented the future, while traditional rock guitars felt incredibly old-fashioned and dead. In the beginning, we made a strict rule never to use acoustic instruments because we wanted to prove that electronics could have a genuine soul and create massive pop hooks. People thought we were being cold, but we just wanted to invent a completely new musical landscape."

Philip Oakey (The Human League), Smash Hits [November 1981]

Regretfully due to the Laundry Bar closing its doors today, tomorrow night’s Subterrainea will not be going ahead.

We wish the Laundry Bar team all the best

We have sad news 😢😢

Regretfully, the Laundry Bar is yet another Melbourne that has closed its doors, effective today.

The Fascinating Events team sends our love and best wishes to all the staff at the Laundry Bar at this difficult time.

This, of course, means that tomorrow's Subterrainea will not go ahead.

Moshtix will be refunding all ticket sales, please contact Moshtix if you have any issues getting your money back.

We hope to have news on the next Subterrainea soon.
