SID80s

SID80s - the ultimate live retro video games band

About Me

Initially the idea of the band was by drummer Andreas Wallstrome who dreamed of playing with some of his C64 heros. Formed in 2003 for the Back in Time Brighton event, SID80s have grown in popularity each time they play - likely due to the fact that the band don't practise until the day of the gig they perform at, therefore sound better each time they play.

SID80s play covers of old Commodore 64 game tunes, but in their own rock style.
