The sounds of Björk and classic 1980s pop and rock will fill the streets of Downtown Long Beach this Thursday at the Downtown Long Beach Associates’ (DLBA) Live After Five event, featuring tribute bands in a range of genres.

“With roots in both tradition and talent, cover and tribute bands make up an art form that is all too often dismissed as kitsch,” said DLBA spokesman Brian Addison in a statement. “While camp can indeed be an aspect of the nostalgic tribute band—after all, imitation would not be fun without the crack of a smile—there is a talent behind seamlessly recreating the music, feel, and overall aura of a time bygone.”

The schedule for Thursday’s Live After Five event is as follows:

5-8PM:
Björkentine at CALB at the Shore
Ease Up at Waterfront Band Shell
Mr. Crumb at Shoreline Village Stage

8-11PM:
Jon Zell presents a tribute to LB musicians at CALB at the Shore
Mr. Mister Miyagi at Waterfront Band Shell
Ken O’Malley and the Twilight Lords at Auld Dubliner Long Beach
