University of Lethbridge community radio station CKXU, 88.3 FM, kicked off their annual FUN Drive by having a lot of fun revisiting some of their favourite ’80s movies during the sold out ‘Don’t You Forget About Me,’ event at the Slice, Oct. 22, getting their annual fundraising week off to a rocking start.
However, thanks to the plethora of the great events, Oct. 22, I missed Smell The Glove, playing Spinal Tap hits, Sophomore Jakes performing “Top Gun” and CKXU station executives ExExxx playing “Real Genius, but caught a very cool set of metalized music from Unicron, playing some of the ’80s metal from the soundtrack of the popular 1986 animated movie Transformers.
They were outstanding, digging into a variety of synth heavy ’80s hair metal, but they added some thrash the the Transformers theme and were having a blast, before winding down “Don’t You Forget About Me,” just before midnight.
