Whether you’re into vintage rock or comedy, mark your calendars for Saturday Oct. 17.

It’s the best of both is happening in Gravenhurst and Washago that night at the Gravenhurst Opera House and Blue Moon Junction in Washago.

The music begins in Gravenhurst, at 7:30 p.m. with the return of Bomb and an 1980’s retrospective that was a blast last summer and has drawn huge crowds across Ontario.

The BOMB Retro ’80s Live is a rewind retrospective of a forgotten, but beloved decade of music that produced some lasting ear-piercing hits that The Bomb members Rob Van Der Vleuten (lead singer) Jamie Thunder (drummer), Constantine Gatsis (guitar) and Shaun Gillespie (bass) authentically with much passion and talent brought back to life.

If you remember Grouplove’s “Welcome to Your Life” and the Pet Shop Boys’ “East End Boys and West End Girls, it’s dozen hits in a two-hour-plus dance party that let David Bowie lovers “put on your red shoes and dance.

And not to be forgotten were “Let’s Go Crazy” (Prince), “It’s My Life” (Talk Talk) and “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” (Tears for Fears) among other memorable covers. “My Best Friend’s Girl” (The Cars) and Van Halen’s “Jump” were others popular songs.
