Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
The variety of hits and forgotten gem-tracks that are performed tightly with a charismatic singer providing entertainment and engagement with the crowd involvement
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
As a fresh band sourced from musicians with vast experience, from a Finalist runner-up in Live & Unsigned UK playing at the Indigo at The O2, a support show at Eden Sessions all the way to your local Belushi's bar, between us we have performed huge milestones. We strive to provide a level of excellence for any venue size.
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
With a diverse range of influences between the band, it's proven that the Indie/Punk Rock genres stand tall in our performance. From Blur to Blink 182, and even further ends of the spectrum you have Backstreet Boys and System Of A Down. The variety provided is unmatched.
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Collectively, we are still fresh and yet to call a milestone show. Individually from past projects I think it is safe to say supporting Pendulum or Reef have been high-end shows along with the runner-up for Live & Unsigned UK in 2011 with being invited the following year as special guests to play alongside The Hoosiers, Tinchy Stryder, Zane Lowe
Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?
Yes, we have no intention to change our line-up as each members character is essential to the experience we provide.
Do you have different line-up options?
This line-up is as seen (Vocalist, Guitarist, Bassist, Drummer) with the same members, as the flow of the show requires the same 4 members.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
This is not something we would usually accommodate.
How much time do you need to set up?
This would usually take between 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
We have a smooth flowing setlist that we have curated over many rehearsals and that we feel is best suited for events. We are happy to take requests within reason of how we see it to fit our setlist.
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
Lighting at present is not within the quote and will further update if this changes. PA System will be included however would appreciate and consider a small reduction to the costs of hiring the band if this was already accessible at your event.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
Within reason if we see that the chosen song(s) will fit with the performance we aim to provide and feel that we can cover the track with justice, we will do our best to include this to our set.
