The Deadbeats Presents: The Backbeats (Alternative Eighties Night)

Get ready for the ultimate throwback! The Deadbeats are thrilled to present The Backbeats for an unforgettable Alternative Eighties Night at Harringtons. Join us for a night dedicated to the dark, synth-filled, and rebellious sounds of the 1980s.

Gavin, David, and Anton are 3/5 of The DeadBeats, Cape Town’s premier alternative 80s band. As The BackBeats, they bring the big, high-energy synth-pop and post-punk sound of the full five-piece show into a leaner, closer-up experience. Expect the same infectious energy, dialed in for smaller stages and midweek adventures. It's a tribute to the era of mixtapes, Docs, and weird hair—featuring legendary tracks from the likes of The Cure, Depeche Mode, Simple Minds, and Joy Division.
