A spandex- and leg warmer-clad audience rocked out to Tainted Love‘s sold-out show at Bimbo’s 365 Club Feb. 13. The ’80s cover band, which also performed the following night on Feb. 14, did a run through of everything from “Rock the Casbah” to “Like a Virgin,” while the enthusiastic crowd sang and jumped along to every tune. Vocalists Brett and Chad Roman added their own twist to each classic song while continuing to inject an ’80s flair, and guitarist Franklin Vasquez put his heart and soul – and sweat – into every move he made. All and all, a perfect night of neon and pop jams.
