Rock On! This Week's Sound Bites...6/6/24

"I guess we sort of instigated it, Wang Chung that is," laughed Wang Chung guitarist Jack Hues as he discussed the band's upcoming June 13 show at the Mayo Performing Arts Center, The Abducted By the '80s Tour, his solo albums, orchestral works and more. "We were doing various '80s package tours over the last few years and they were good but we were aware of the fact that you had to climb over other bands and the chances to play deeper cuts were limited. So, we wanted to put a tour together where there were fewer bands of good quality and each band got a chance to play a decent length set. So, everybody is doing a half-hour to 45-minute set and that means Wang Chung gets to play "Space Junk" as well as "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" and "Dance Hall Days."
