We are the most all-that 90s tribute band in DFW (and maybe the world?) We are 90s babies that grew up absolutely obsessing over the music of the 90s. We tried the 2000s, that was fine. We did the 2010s, meh. We knew in our Fruit Gusher, Giga Pet, Full House, Beanie Baby loving hearts, the 90s were the place for us. We play rock, pop, hip hop, country, yadda, yadda, yadda; all from the flyest decade in recent memory. So, what are you waiting for? Come see the DFW 90s cover band that’s truly da bomb.
Saturday, September 19, 7-9 p.m.
