Better descriptions are hard to find when people who are new to seeing a Junk FM show walk away making that kind of statement. Junk FM manages to accomplish something that’s difficult to categorize but easy to fall in love with: fire off party goers’ favorite songs with unexpected twists and surprising changes of pace! On many occasions, fans have confessed: “Junk FM RUINED some of my favorite songs – when I hear the originals all I can think is ‘I like Junk FM’s version better.’“
Through genre-bending mashups and juxtaposing styles, Junk FM delivers an infectious, high energy show by a crack team of musician-performers who just wanna see how ridiculous the dance floor can get over the course of the night. From Garth Brooks to Lady Gaga in one slamming step, simultaneous Eminem and Green Day, Cee Lo Green meets Rod Stewart all while stealing your drink. Junk FM doesn’t care what your idea of a great night is - they’re gonna show you how ridiculous your party can be!
