Atomic Mary Reignites as New Wave Garage

A Time Machine to the Sound of a Generation

In 2025, The Tristate Area once again becomes the launchpad for musical nostalgia as Atomic Mary re-emerges under a new banner: New Wave Garage.

Revived by original founder Al Spinelli, the band has transformed into a full-force New Wave tribute act, breathing fresh life into the genre that defined the late ’70s and early ’80s.

Far more than a cover band, New Wave Garage is on a mission to replicate the original sound, style, and spirit of the era with stunning accuracy—offering audiences an authentic flashback to a time when synths, attitude, and innovation shook the foundations of rock. With a meticulously curated setlist of over 50 songs from icons like Blondie, The Cure, Devo, and Missing Persons, the band has built a repertoire that captures the edge and electricity of a musical revolution.

Prepare to be transported. This isn’t just a reboot—it’s a high-voltage portal to the heyday of New Wave.
