In the Fall of 2005, the band celebrated it's 25th anniversary of continuous performances!

The band was formed by Brian on December 6th, 1979. 50's music was gaining popularity for Dances, Parties, etc. around this period. Brian thought it would be good to put together a band to play 50's and early 60's music exclusively as an alternative to DJ's for these events.

After almost a year in the cellar putting together the repertoire, the band was asked to perform at a Block Dance by a friend. This was the band's first public appearance (Sept. 5, 1980). The response was positive (except for the tomatoes that came whizzing over the houses to land on the speakers!). Next, it was the first Open To The Public performance at the now invisible Holiday Inn in Milford (Old Navy/Bed Bath & Beyond now occupies the site). From that point on, the band has never looked back (or should I say, ahead?)

Flashback has also had the privilege of performing with many of the original 50's & 60's groups at various concerts and dances including the Westchester Civic Center as well as the popular Jai-Alai Shows in Milford & Hartford in the Mid-Late eighties.

The Band's current lineup has been together since Oct. 2003. Prior to this lineup, the band's first gig after reforming was Feb. 3, 2001. The band's longest running lineup ran from 1988 until New Years Eve 2000. Current players include Tony Virgulto (5th Drummer & newest member), Ken Bloxsom (3rd Keyboard Player), Bill Bloxsom, (second full time guitarist). Tom, Scott & Brad are all original members (imagine that!), although there have been other stand-in's and replacements over the years. Also a "leave of absence" (Brad, from 85-88). In the beginning, everyone had dark hair (or just hair) except Scott, (dark hair not applicable)! 24 years later, the band still performs between 20-30 concerts a year, (most with bad backs) & many being dances open to the public, as well as private functions for Class Reunions, Parties, etc.
