The definitive San Francisco cover band, Tainted Love puts the love back in your old school mix tapes. Their shows feature an exclusively 80's set list, including everyone's favorites from Cyndi Lauper, Michael Jackson and George Michael. Tainted Love's shows at classic venues always sell out, so grab those tickets early. Or, you could be lucky enough to attend one of the many private events, from galas to corporate conventions, and see everyone from the bartender to the CEO bust out their best robot on the dacefloor.

When your parents popped in a Neil Diamond tape on repeat during long interstate road trips, you reluctantly sang along. Never thought you'd turn out to be a Diamond fan now, right? But singing along to "Sweet Caroline" and "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show" is so addictive now, you'd do anything to see Neil on stage. This San Francisco Niel Diamond cover band can put a rest to that Diamond thirst. Super Diamond delivers a high-octane Diamond tribute show that rocks!
