“We’ll be taking over The Bell House with 80s anthems performed by kick-ass 10-piece cover band The Engagements, 90s hits spun by Party Like It’s 1999’s DJ Steve Reynolds, music video sing-alongs by SecretFormula, and 80s + 90s music videos from Music Video Time Machine.”
The Engagements crowd at the Bizarre Love Triangle tribute to Depeche Mode, New Order, The Smiths, & The Cure.
The Engagements is an “alt-wedding band” based in Brooklyn, NY that plays a lot of 80’s covers, along with rare soul and Motown.
“The eleven instrument swappers who crowd The Engagements’ stage can do straight-up hits, but they’d rather be rocking ‘This Charming Man.’” – New York Magazine
“The premier ’80’s-covering wedding band.” – Paper Mag
