Three short weeks till we're back at it in 2024.

Kick off our 15th year with a banger at Promises with DJ Paul H!

We've got new tunes in the offing and we're bringing back some more obscure b-sides that haven't been on the list for a very long time.

Let's Dance!

2023 is done. It's over, baby. Put that bad boy to bed. Tuck 'er in.

Thanks to everyone who has supported us over the last 12 months and some of you for the last 14 years. You're weird, you're wild, and you're the finest dancers east of the Mississippi.

We are appreciative of the incredible support and love you bring to our shows. It's that energy that keeps us going as we move on to year 15 of the New Wave Insanity. We'd be remiss if we didn't thank and acknowledge the hard work Kevin Ponec put in during our first 5 years, much appreciated brother!

We'll announce an official 15th Anniversary Show very soon, and we would love all of you to be there with us.

We hope you're looking forward to 12 more months of New Wave hits and even more obscure b-sides that we know our New Wave Nerds dig. And maybe even a return of The Cars Tribute. 😉

Seriously, all of you are the best!

See you on January 26th @ Promises.

More B-sides in 2024!

Radio Radio knows that all the New Wave Nerds love the more obscure tunes of the classic New Wave era. And so do we. 😁

We'll be hanging out at the rock n' roll supermarket and most definitely bringing this back for year 15.

(on a American Bandstand to boot!)

Day Two of Birthday Goodness!

Give up all you got for the Lord of the Low Notes, Thor of the Thunderbroom, the Low Freq Freak, your bassist, Mr. John Clement Rice III on his most special day.

Get your fingers going and send him a whole lotta love. Come on, everyone!

It's time!
Time to wish our enigmatic and ever changing keyboardist a happy birthday. But do it loudly, he can't hear.

Let's all give Jack Rodee a virtual snuggle on his big day!

A joyous Saint Nicholas Day to all our New Wave Nerds!

FYI. The most common way to celebrate St. Nicholas Day is to leave shoes out for good old St. Nick to place small gifts in. Socks are fine, too. But not unclean socks.

Here's our own St. Nick casting out the demons on the Turner Hall Stage!

We'll be back for Year 15 on Friday January 26th at Promise's in Walker's Point.
Giddy up!
