I'm not. Although I'm a big fan of 1980s synthpop, the modern revival tours don't interest me at all as they're so obviously money motivated and consist of middle aged men going through the motions.

If they were still writing and recording imaginative new material, fair enough, but most are just playing the same tired old "greatest hits" over and over again. Leave the past in the past and don't tarnish the memory!

I dont have a memory of a lot of these bands though, i was too young to gig back then.

Bring on the retrofest !
