[NEW WAVE] Your eyes are not deceiving you—Men Without Hats are, in fact, still relevant, in that the 1980s-era, synth pop collective will play at the Bear’s Den on Friday, June 12. Best known for creating “The Safety Dance” and “Pop Goes The World”—two of the most familiar songs of the 1980s – MWH built on the new wave sound, bridging the gap between punk and disco with electro-popping, synth-laden cuts. Now comprised of Ivan and Stefan Doroschuk, MWH has undergone frequent lineup changes over the years, but Ivan has been a mainstay and his baritone vocals are characteristic of the Men Without Hats sound.
