The Nasty Habits

Slowpoke Productions proudly presents The Nasty Habits, a daring 80s tribute band defined by its high-energy performances and inclusive spirit. Featuring a diverse lineup of musicians from various ethnic backgrounds, gender identities, and orientations, the band delivers a truly unique stage experience.

The Nasty Habits captures the raw energy and signature attitude of the 1980s—from big hair and outrageous outfits to the social messages behind the music. Their expansive repertoire spans New Wave, Punk, Goth, Glam, Synthpop, and Alternative.

A staple of the Pacific Northwest music scene since 2003, The Nasty Habits have built a dedicated following that spans the region. While they are a favorite for festivals, casinos, and live music venues, they maintain a deep affection for Port Angeles, WA—regularly performing to sold-out crowds of their most loyal fans.

The band believes music is about more than technical skill; it’s about the environment it creates. By showing up authentically and courageously on stage, The Nasty Habits—with the support of their host venues—create a space free of judgment. It is an invitation for the audience to be themselves and dance freely, knowing they are in a community that values authenticity and expression over scrutiny.

A fan once summed it up as follows: "This band leaves you feeling happy to be alive, but they also send a very important message. It’s okay to be who you are. In this day and age, we all need to hear that. At full volume."
