HotRox are a four-piece rock, pop and 90s dance covers band from South Shropshire, performing across the West Midlands and surrounding counties. The band are built on experience, consistency and a crowd-first mindset, delivering high-energy sets designed to fill dancefloors at weddings, festivals, pubs, corporate functions and marquee parties. The lineup features Mel (vocals), Gui (guitar), Matt (bass) and Tom (drums). Each member brings years of live performance experience, and their shared chemistry on stage ensures tight transitions, confident delivery and audience interaction that feels natural, fun and unforced. Their sets mix rock and indie staples like Mr Brightside, Basket Case, Are You Gonna Be My Girl and Parklife, with pop classics like I Wanna Dance With Somebody and Shake It Off. Their signature 90s and 00s dance medleys include club anthems such as Insomnia, Rhythm Is a Dancer and Better Off Alone, often blended with rock crossovers like Sweet Dreams and Seven Nation Army for high-impact crowd reactions. HotRox are built for events, not just gigs. They work to clear timelines, efficient setups and smooth set pacing. They can incorporate a pre-arranged first dance song, and they tailor sound and lighting to suit venue size, from pub stages to heated marquees and outdoor festival rigs. The band provide full PA and lighting when required and can play DJ music between live sets to maintain momentum. Documentation such as public liability insurance and PAT certificates are available on request, giving organisers confidence for larger or formal bookings. The band travel flexibly across the UK for the right event, with core performance areas covering Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and the wider Midlands region. They are known for being reliable, responsive and easy to work with. No egos, no guesswork, no crossed wires - just clear communication and a performance that hits the brief every time. What makes HotRox bookable? They pick songs audiences love, they play them properly, and they keep floors full. Their shows are high energy without being cheesy, nostalgic without feeling dated, and loud without losing clarity. They thrive on crowd reaction, adapting set energy to match the room, the field or the marquee. Their reputation is built on consistency, sound quality and unforgettable set moments. If you’re booking HotRox, you’re booking a band that delivers energy, atmosphere and peace of mind. This is music for big nights, big memories, and packed floors.

Customer questions

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

Yes. Our lead vocalist, Mel, is the singer you see in all of our official videos. We don’t use stand-ins or rotating session vocalists, so the voice, energy and stage presence you hear online is exactly what you’ll get at your event. If you book HotRox, you book the band you see -every time.

Do you have different line-up options?

HotRox perform as a fixed four-piece lineup: Mel (vocals), Gui (guitar), Matt (bass) and Tom (drums). We don’t offer band rotations, but we can adapt set length and structure (up to 1–3 hours, split to suit your event). Optional DJ music, first dance on request, and package discounts apply if venue PA or lighting is supplied.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We’re a laid-back, easygoing band and will work with most timing changes without issue. If set times move, shorten, or swap order, we’ll adapt and keep the flow strong. Only major changes to playing time may need a rethink, but wherever possible we’ll work around your event plan and keep the show on track.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes. We can play a playlist you choose, or you can leave it to us - we’ll put something together that suits the vibe and keeps the momentum going. We can run music before we start, and between sets while we reset. It’s part of the 2–3 hour packages, or optional on the 1 hour set if you want it added.

How much time do you need to set up?

Allow for up to 1–1.5 hours for setup and sound check if we’re bringing full PA and lights, but it’s usually done a lot quicker. Smaller spaces and pub stages can be 30–45 minutes. We’ll always crack on as soon as we arrive and keep you in the loop so you know we’re on track and ready when you need us.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

You can absolutely choose songs from our list. Some of our set is built around medleys, so chopping and changing those sections can be tricky, but if it’s on the list we’ll play it. If we’ve got time before the gig and it works for the event, we can usually learn a new one too - just ask early and we’ll always try.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Our quotes include what’s needed for the package you book. If we’re providing PA and lights, it’s built into the price. If your venue already has PA or lighting we can use, or you’d rather we plug into theirs, we’ll knock the quote down to match. No paying for gear you don’t need - simple as that.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes - if it’s not already in our set, we can usually learn one for you as long as we’ve got enough notice. We’ll always be honest if it’s a stretch, but we’ll do our best to make it work. The earlier you ask, the better the chance we nail it and make it a proper moment on the night.
