In early 2006, an 80's band called Great Scott! was formed as a project focused mainly on playing signature songs of artists who were popular in the 80's. Bands like Police, Duran Duran, Heart, Tears for Fears, and Blondie. Performers like Peter Gabriel, Pat Benatar, Thomas Dolby, and Joan Jett. In early 2010, with a new drummer and a new name, Denim Arcade was born.
The band grew out of an original progressive rock band called Noise Dot Com, coupled with the drummer from a progressive band called Trilobite Cafe and the Ren Rock band The Lost Boys, and the female lead singer from the Indie band, Karma Lingo. They honed their skills at playing some of the most recognizable and fun songs from the 80's, using similar equipment to what was employed during this period. They stuck to the belief that if a band is going to play tunes from a certain era and expect to actually sound like the real thing they needed to invest in equipment that would produce the same sound with the same quality as the bands from that period.
