Rubix Cube at the Gramercy Theater

In the mid to late 1970s, musicians fought back against the producer-driven disco dynasty with punk rock, hip hop and heavy metal. By the 1980s, the record companies who had enjoyed the consumer boom during the disco era now capitalized on those rebellious trends, polished them up to make them commercial, and served them to the public as corporate rock. Why are we bringing back the commercial, corporate 80s? Ask Rubix Cube, which bills itself as the Galaxy's Most Original 80s Tribute Band. Rubix Cube recently played a residency at the Canal Room, played the Gramercy Theater tonight and is returning on March 1. The band members not only perform hits from that decade, they recreate the culture. Notice Chewbacca's cameo appearance in the photograph above.
