Mega 80's August 13, 2011

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 in 2003, '04, and '05. Best Cover Band in 2006-07, Best Live Performance in 2008, and Best Cover Band in 2009 and 2010. 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 two years running. This also includes playing at the Palace of Auburn Hills and being highlighted on Mitch Albom and Fox 2 News.

The band features some of the greatest players in the Detroit area. Drummer Jason Gittinger is a musician that can do anything. Jason's talent has been spotlighted many times, such as: TV specials with Kevin Bacon at the Fox Theater, recording international advertising campaigns for companies such as Cadillac, as well as extensive european tours with local and national acts. Guitarist Mick Khzouz, an accomplished musician that can play just about any guitar style, loves the positivity that the 80's era has brought back. Ron Abraham, keyboardist for the band, has played keyboards in many different bands and has toured the world doing so. He now has found a permanent home in the land of the Mega 80's. Ron's hip stage demeanor and excellent vocal ability make him the perfect Mega 80. Matt Webber, the newest addition to the Mega 80's, has brought some seriously zany energy to the stage which was inherently apparent when he performed in front of David Hasselhoff on "America's Got Talent".

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 four other great shows, The Spirit of '76 (a multimedia 70's rock tribute), Boogie Dynomite (a multimedia disco tribute), The Square Pegz (the female fronted counterpart to the Mega 80's) and X-Generation (a multimedia 90's rock tribute). Tangerine Moon Productions will also be bringing other high end Las Vegas type acts to Detroit as well. Look for the Hype Syndicate (top 40's tribute band) in the later part of 2010. These premier bands like all other Tangerine Moon Productions are now sponsored by Real Detroit Weekly. Carey still owns and operates his DJ company, Jammin DJ's and enjoys DJ'ing in his spare time.

With all of the continued improvements to the show, from dancers, enhanced video media (even personalized birthday/bachelorette messages) and a spectacular light show , the Mega 80's and Tangerine Moon Productions will continue to fill concert halls and add on 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!
