About Us

Mixtape Rewind is an energetic 80s New Wave and Pop cover band based in Hamilton, Ontario. With a lineup of seasoned musicians who share a passion for the music of the 1980s, we bring the soundtracks of your youth to life on stage. Our mission is simple: keep the magic and vibrancy of New Wave alive, one gig at a time.

From the synth-heavy melancholy of The Smiths to the upbeat dance anthems of Men Without Hats, our setlists are carefully curated to capture every corner of the decade. We perform classics such as "Don't You Want Me?" by the Human League, "Friday I'm in Love" by The Cure, and "Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats, as well as deep cuts that keep the audience guessing. Our shows are not just about reproducing the music; they are immersive experiences that transport you back to high school dances, late-night drives, and the bright, neon-lit streets of the 1980s.

Our performances are known for their infectious energy. Whether you're a die-hard fan or hearing these songs for the first time, we engage the crowd with dynamic stage presence, precise musicianship, and an authentic sound that mirrors the original recordings. We use period-appropriate synthesizers, drum machines, and guitar tones to recreate the iconic textures of the era. The result is a night that feels both nostalgic and brand new.

Beyond the music, Mixtape Rewind is committed to creating memorable moments for every event. We work closely with clients to tailor themes, lighting, and visual elements, ensuring each show is a unique celebration. From wedding receptions to corporate galas, we deliver a polished, professional performance that elevates any occasion.

Our team's dedication to authenticity, creativity, and audience engagement has earned us a reputation as the premier 80s cover band in Hamilton. Book us for your next event and experience the thrill of reliving the golden age of music with a band that truly lives it.
