Basic Cable: A Tribute to the Golden Age of MTV

Shere-E-Punjab · Media, PA

Basic Cable is a Philadelphia-based four-piece tribute band recreating the hits of 80s MTV with male and female lead vocals across new wave, synthpop, rock, hair metal, and dance-pop covers.

Expect a high-energy, danceable set that spans the full spectrum of 80s MTV — from shimmering synthpop and new wave grooves to fist-pumping rock and hair-metal anthems — with male and female lead vocals trading off to match the era's diversity. The four-piece recreates the sounds faithfully, delivering recognizable hit after recognizable hit.
