The Gadgets were heavily influenced from watching MTV in the early days, where they witnessed big hair, larger-than-life synthesized sounds, massive makeup (on both men and women), and mainstream pop melodies that would always leave behind and earworm. Brothers Tory Glen Smith (lead guitar), and Sandy Smith (lead vocals) banded together with their talented musician friends where they could re-live their childhood memories and entertain crowds in a fun, light-hearted way. 80s Gadgets spans a variety of 80s rock (e.g. Billy Idol, Queen), pop (e.g. Prince, George Michael), new wave (e.g. The Cure, Duran Duran) and even the one-hit wonders (e.g. Devo) that we all know and love.
