At Joe Pop’s’ ’80s Night, sport a neon fanny pack, scrunchie, cropped crew neck or leg warmers and you might just get your cover charge waived- a fair trade for tasty drink specials and decade-friendly entertainment. The Ship Bottom shore bar takes ’80s Night seriously, as does last week’s featured act, M80, a retro party band specializing in synth-heavy, new wave covers.

The stage was colorfully set with vibrant scarves wound and knotted around instruments and mic stands like tropical snakes.
