Men Without Hats, best known for the 1982 hit ‘The Safety Dance’ have reformed and will tour the UK/ Europe and North America in 2025.
There is even Men Without Hats new music with ‘I Love The 80s’ written by the man without the hat Ivan Doroschuk, who wrote ‘Safety Dance’ more than 40 years ago.
About ‘I Love The 80s’ Ivan says, “One of the biggest challenges in writing this song was narrowing down all the things I loved about the ’80s… The song could have been half an hour long!”
I Love The 80s:
The Safety Dance:
Men Without Hats split in 1993 after 1991’s ‘Sideways’ album. There was a brief reunion from 2002 to 2004 and Doroschuk has been mildly active with Men Without Hats since 2010 with two albums ‘Love In The Age of War’ (2012) and ‘Again, Part 2’ (2022).
Ivan is now the only two original members left in the band. The line-up is Ivan Doroschuk (vocals), Sahara Sloan (keyboards and vocals), Sho Murray (guitar), and Adrian White (drums). Sahara is the daughter of Ivan’s brother, founding member Colin Doroschuk.
Colin now works at the Victoria Conservatory of Music in Canada He is Department Head of Voice under the Ann & George Nation Conservatory School of Classical Music and Director of the Voice Program for the Chwyl Family Contemporary School of Music.
