THESE ARE ACTUAL E-MAILS WE HAVE RECEIVED, Hey even we couldnāt make some of this stuff up!

You guys were awesome at Bimbo's Saturday night.. I am not sure if it was the massive amount of booze flowin' through my system or not but Brett was looking extremely hot that night. John was his usual 80's god-like self and it was cool to see Jamie bust out "Dancing in the Dark". If you only you had Courtney Cox on stage with him doing the "white guys" dance:-)

Keep up the great work!! You guys have only gotten better since I began following two years ago.

I guess just send me any info on when you're playing in the Sacramento area. I can't wait to see you guys again. It was the last night I got laid.
Thanks!

I just wanted to write and say you guys gave a great show at the 107.5 80's party last night. It was like seeing all of those 80's bands live and I have to say that was the best Halloween party I have ever been to! I hope you'll play in Portland again.

All the best,
Lindsay

Hi, its Jennifer from the Hyatt. Hope you all had a safe trip home. I guessit was not a long trip. I have to tell you that my staff keeps talking aboutthe Pandesic Party from Saturday. Everyone thought that you guys were the greatest! I talked with Steven Starr, my client, today. His employees are also raving about the party.

My wife and I caught your show at the October 14, Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival. We saw the music line up and made it a point to swing by your show because we love 80's music. Tainted Love played exceptionally well, best live band to play 80's tunes I've ever heard. From the music to the wardrobe, all was great. So good, we tracked down the web site and plan to take our friends to a show. Hope you all make lots of $$$$$ and keep playing them tunes.

Tainted Love, Thank you for your wonderful show at the Belly Up in Solana Beach. The music, not to mention the band always stirs something inside of me. I enjoyed it so much my first time, I invited all my friends to partake in the experience. I think it is essential to reconnect with our pasts and the feeligs and experiences it evokes. I talked with many individuals who felt the band was their vehicle to access the 80's once again. Thank you for enabling Southern, CA to your enjoy music...

Hola

I saw your performance at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland. It was great. I enjoyed it.

I especially liked 99 Luftballoons, Walk Like an Egyptian, Safety Dance, Come on Eileen, and The Promise.

I kept yelling for Billy Idol because I wanted to hear Dancing with Myself!

I hope you can come back to Portland so I can hear my favorite Billy Idol songs :)

Tainted, loved your show guys, at the Pumpkin Festival. Thanks for coming and intertaining us. A new fan of Tainted Love. Judy PS This is my 7th festival and I have never seen such audience participation by any other group.

I am a 31 year old female who saw your show in Chico last night. While at your show I was thinking that there was no place on earth that I would rather be at that moment than where I was. I had such a fabulous time. It was like going to all the concerts I missed while in high school, and a few I had seen! I have not danced and sang like that in years! I don't know how you do it... I was exhausted when I got home! I have lived in Chico for 9 years now, and I must say that was the best show I have seen locally.... I so hope you will be returning soon! In the meantime I will have your cd to remind me of what a fun time I had while you were here!
Thanks again! You guys are fabulous!

REVIEW OF TAINTED LOVEāS NYE SHOW AT BGP 2000

ATTENTION, party planners for next year's Y2K+1! You know those

high-quality, big-name bands you hire for the annual SFNYE gala? The ones that cost an arm and a leg?

Here's a helpful hint: DUMP 'EM. And hire only cover bands that play '80s hits - the decade of choice for those who frequent these events. The ones who still wear their hair feathered and think the mold was broken after Men Without Hats.

There were several points during the SFNYE celebration Friday night when the 8,000-strong attendees could not be bothered to tune into the magnificent music being brought from the main stage, because the cover band, a local outfit called Tainted Love, was cranking out something by Madonna or AC/DC in a side pavilion.

When Los Van Van (dubbed "the Rolling Stones of Cuban music" by virtue of its 30-year, 23-record history) sold out the Warfield this fall, the audience was reduced to a sweaty, writhing mass; this time only a few couples braved the complex Latin steps.
