The Adventures Of Duane & BrandO FINAL SHOW!
So how does Retro: Kimmer end up at Duane and BrandO's final show held at the very cool resale shop Replay Entertainment Exchange in East Lansing? My daughter (really wanted to go) is how I ended up at this show. I decided that if I had to drive all the way up there I might as well work! I didn't think it would have much to do with Retro... but how wrong I was! Everywhere I looked was Retro fab stuff!

This duo rap fun lyrics over retro video game music. Being an old time video gamer I knew most of the songs. The kids just love these guys! Sadly the duo have parted ways and will no longer collaborate together.
I met them both and have no doubt they will both be using their talents to create more fun music in the future. They were both absolutely charming and I loved meeting them.

Lesley's friend Alex came for the Adventure and luckily she is a very talented photographer. She grabbed some shots I missed. Thank you so much Alex!

Duane
My flash caught Duane in a very alien light and I think he'd like the eyes!
Lesley filming and DB fan John
John and Lesley both knew every word of every song. All I could think about is how much his looked like AJ Soprano from my favorite HBO show the Sopranos

Lee Michaels
Just look at Replay's ceiling! I used to own all those records! I especially loved this Lee Michaels record!
Just look at all the cool stuff! Used to be my bedroom wall when I was a teenager!
cool retro outfit
Cool retro cds, vinyl, video games, clothes. toys and even the balsa airplanes we used to fly around at school before the teacher nabbed it!
Nancy Sinatra retro glorious of course!
One of my favorite songs of all time My Boyfriend's Back!
Oh how I loved going through the vast retro vinyl collection Replay had for sale. I am going to have to buy a turntable again. Haven't had one since the 80's. Bobby Gentry was just unbelievable and just to see her again was wonderful

You Rock! :)
LESLEY AND ALEX ROCKED TOO!
The name of that D&B-fan would be John :)
It was an awesome show and even though I couldn't teach Brando to jump over mail boxes and climb a building with me. It still rocked.
Very Cool! Your daughter is so pretty Kim! Have a great week!
Thanks Josh we'll post your video tonight and thanks for the reader who sent in John's name, I was hoping someone would!
"Thanks, I had a blast. Thanks for the write up!"
Omg I heard these guys Megaman 2 song and have been a fan since!!
"All I have to say is this -- This was seen to the very end. Albeit bitter but the end result: The fans that were there witnessed the last ever show. Period. For me (for someone already having a crappy day today) the people there were privileged to witness the end of an era. I would of loved being there in person. The only thing I can say is to everyone to just... accept it as it is. The both of them are going their own ways and doing what is best for both of them.
It doesn't matter why it happened or why no one is or will talk about it. It has come to pass and that's how it is. No matter what side you support in the end, just respect both in that regard and move on.
I personally look forward in seeing what is over the horizon. "
COOL stuff, I like that crazee red hair too!
"Yes....I ended up playing taxi driver for my daughter half the night, wish i would have joined you."
"I <3 you Kim! Always great to see ya when you can come, but missing you when you can't! Hi to Lesley! xo"
