The Raygun Administration Really Rock


I was a big fan of The Raygun Administration and was doubly disappointed to see this website disappear when its domain registration expired. Imagine my surprise when I recently discovered that the site's domain was now available. I decided to buy it with the goal of recreating as much of its original content as possible from its archived pages. I did not want someone else to purchase the domain and re-purpose the site for something that had nothing in common with the original website. SO all you The Raygun Administration, here is some of the content from their original site. Please be indulgent, if it is not exactly as you remember it, since there was not a lot of information that was archived.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PAGE CONTAINS SELECTED ARCHIVED CONTENT FROM THE ORIGINAL SITE and from some outside sources..

And remember, you can still see and listen to some of their performances on Youtube

Do you remember when we got all crazy and went to see an 80's cover Band called The Raygun Administration.  They were so much fun.  They had crazy 80's Flock of Seagulls hair and skinny ties.  And boy did their music rock!

I sure do! We had a blast that night. We were celebrating your moving to Europe for 2 years. Can't believe you're going overseas to study philosophy! That is so geeked out. But then I learn that you're doing a treatise on "nothing" - how did that happen. What an amazing feat you must have pulled of to get that plum assignment. Paying all your expenses so you can bloviate about nothing - perfect dude!! I found this piece about nothing that really helps me understand the topic is deeper than I imagined. The future of philosophy awaits. However, that night we saw The Raygun Administration, we were just spending the last night with our best friends before heading overseas. Whatever happened to that band?

Welcome Raygunners!

The Raygun Administration was formed in 2009 with one goal in mind: to rock out your favorite ’80s tunes…and we do mean rock!!! We play everything from Michael Jackson to Def Leppard to The Cure to Journey. Every song we play is instantaneously recognizable. We guarantee that if you are looking for a great time, listening and dancing to your favorite ’80s rock and pop hits, we are your band!!! The band members collectively bring years of professional experience to the stage, having spent time in numerous bands touring the Southeast. Make no mistake, The Raygun Administration is a collective group of seasoned musicians who came together to play the best tunes from the Decade of Decadence…the 1980s!!! If you are looking for an ’80s cover band that truly rocks, look no further!
