Let us explain...
We are NOT a Back to the Future
play, musical or film recreation in any respect!
The Flux Capacitors is a nostalgic, decade-oriented, 80’s & 90’s flashback band that plays live concerts with a fun, Back to the Future theme! Does that make sense?
Flux is the of the 30th and 40th anniversaries of Back to the Future!
It’s unheard of for a band to start as a tribute to a beloved film franchise and then find itself embraced by the very cast, crew, and studio behind it.
But that’s exactly the journey of The Flux Capacitors—a band that began as a nod to cinematic history and, against all odds, became a real part of it.
