Rock the 80's
Wednesday, April 16 (7:00 -10:00 pm)
Fairmont San Jose, CA
This year, ESC Silicon Valley rocks out! Come join us as we celebrate 20 years of educating the creators of technology. Sport the mullet, rock the mohawk and embrace your inner Duran Duran 'cause we are throwing the best 80s themed party ever! Our entertainment and special guests for the evening is Tainted Love, who will be singing the best hits of the 1980s for busting a move.
Tainted Love is the Bay Area’s premier 1980’s dance band. This 7-piece outfit from San Francisco brings you back to the days when keyboards ruled the airwaves, cascading hairdos were commonplace and outlandish fashions lit up the pioneering early days of MTV. With a stellar line-up of three high-energy singers driven by a power house band whose credentials include Pride & Joy, Super Diamond, Car Wash, Panama, and Yah-Yah Littleman, Tainted Love delivers a non-stop 80’s live show featuring authentic costumes, exciting dance moves, and irresistible charisma. Attendees with an All Access and a 3-Day pass can add the party at no additional cost. Tickets are available for purchase online and onsite as space permits.
The ESC 20th-year Party is sponsored by:
