Wang Chung, Naked Eyes, and The Motels are scheduled to play with the Abducted by the 80s Tour in Syracuse and Elmira. The 80’s extravaganza will transport viewers back to the days of MTV and New Wave. The tour promises a journey into the past with iconic sounds and unforgettable melodies.
The 80s extravaganza kicked off in Texas, and will visit New York June 14 and 15.
Motels’ Martha Davis shared her excitement for the tour, The chemistry among the acts is also impressive, with Martha Davis saying, Nick Feldman, Jack Hues, and Pete Byrne are some of her, “favorite people, not to mention amazing musicians!”
I had the honor of interviewing Jack Hues of Wang Chung about the tour. Hues’ enthusiasm for his music and performing was contagious; there was a great deal of care put into the tour. He expressed excitement about the tour and optimism for Wang Chung’s future, including plans for a new Greatest Hits record, featuring demos, re-releases, and remixes. Jack Hues continues to write and release music, and his first solo album, Primitif, was released in 2020. Since Primitif, Hues has kept busy, releasing an acoustic album, a live album, and multiple singles. His love of recording and writing is evident, and a third solo album is in the works.
Hues is a prime example of a musician dedicated to their craft and audience experience. Hues expressed his desire to highlight the bands range, all while playing the hits people love so dearly. The acts were chosen to fit together musically, thematically, and harmoniously.
