About The Lounge Lizards

Nostalgia on tap at 2 ’80s-themed events this weekend

By Katie Wedell | Wednesday, July 21, 2010, 08:55 AM

It’s shaping up to be an ’80s-tastic weekend in Dayton. If you’re still preoccupied with 1985, head to one of these local shows for a dose of nostalgia.

Joan Jett vs. Billy Idol Tribute Show

Vex is hosting a retro-flashback battle of the ’80s rock stars this Thursday featuring Jasper the Colossal, Good English and NPD. See all three acts for just $5. Plus they’ll be drawing a winner for two Billy Idol tickets. If you’ve entered to win the tickets at a previous ’80s Night, then make sure you’re there, because you must be present to win.

Where: Club Vex, 101 S. St. Clair St., Dayton

When: Doors open at 9 p.m., Thursday, July 22

The bite: $5 cover charge

Stranger

Enjoy some live ’80s music poolside this Friday when cover band Stranger takes the stage at Sharkey’s outdoor stage.

Where: Sharkey’s Poolside Lounge, Marriott Dayton, 1414 S. Patterson Blvd., Dayton

When: 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., Friday, July 23

The bite: $5 cover charge

K99 Block Party

Although not strictly an ’80s band, you’re bound to hear some great classic rock covers when the boys of Red Moon play the Town Square at The Greene, Friday. In addition to the live tunes, enjoy $2 beers courtesy of Bud Light Lime, raffles prizes and giveaways, food from Subway, and a Harley Davidson display. One of the prizes being raffled off is a trip for two on the Bud Light Port Paradise Cruise. All proceeds from alcohol sales will benefit the Pink and Chrome Ride for the Cure, an open motorcycle event in October to raise money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure of Greater Cincinnati.

Where: The Greene Town Square, 51 Plum St., Beavercreek

When: 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., Friday, July 23

The bite: Free
