Bands come and go year bye year, decade by decade. There are however some bands that live on decades later as anchors or focal points to significant periods of our lives.

They don’t even have to be favorites or even liked but when we hear them we are instantly transported back years or decade as if no time had passed.

Tonight at the ‘Thebby Theatre’, Human League, the unmistakable voice of Phil Oakey and the rich layered synthesizer music of the 80’s ticked those boxes for me.
