FAQ
Q - Do you do live showcases where we can come and see you?
A - No we don't (although we used to). Band showcases are an incredibly stale environment, and it's very difficult to demonstrate the vibe of the band in full flight, if the audience are not up partying with us. Of course you want to see the band first. So what we have done instead, is film a large variety of gigs so you can see and hear the band just as they would be at your event. Large corporate gigs at Etihad Stadium & Regent Plaza, to weddings at Eureka 89 & Crown Casino, our bands have played in nearly every room in Melbourne.
Q - Do you play outside of Melbourne?
A - Yes all the time! The fees on our website are for within 50km of Melbourne CBD. Beyond 50km is an extra $50 per player, per extra 50km from Melbourne. Best to get in touch to discuss.
Q - How do we secure you for our event?
A - A 25% deposit secures the band for your night, with the remainder due 2 weeks prior to your event.
Q - How long are your sets and breaks?
A - Generally our sets last 45 minutes, with minimum breaks of 15 minutes, but this is only a guide. We will fit our music around the particulars of your event, ie announcements, speeches, bridal waltzes etc. No two events are the same, and we are happy to work with you to organise our music around your itinerary.
Q - Do we organise the setlist or do you?
A - We certainly do want to hear what you want and don't want and we always adjust what we play accordingly, but we will ultimately organise the list. With 100's of weddings and corporate events under our belt, we know what songs work and we also read the room to change things up on the fly if things aren't cooking. You are absolutely allowed to request a couple of songs if we don't know them ahead of time, but not an entire list.
Q - Do you require a running sheet for the night?
A - Absolutely! There is a lot to go over and we want to make sure we are aware of how the night is supposed to run and when we are supposed to play.
Q - Do you supply your own PA and lightshow?
A - Yes we do, and you are welcome to use our wireless mic for speeches. We bring a full production setup, everything we need to look and sound great on the night!
Q - Do you play setbreak music in between your live sets?
A - Yes we do. We will have spotify playlists at the ready, and you are also welcome to plug your playlists into our system, or just send us across the list and we'll play it.
Q - Do you require food and drinks at the event?
A - Yes we do. A main meal and drinks is expected at every gig, usually clients just slot us into the alternate drop with guests, which is fine! Alcohol not required, just soft drink and water.
Q - Will you play outside?
A - Yes we will but adequate cover must be arranged. This means a marquee (with access to power). We don't play outside where ourselves and our gear are exposed to the elements.
Q - What do you need in terms of power access?
A - Just a standard powerpoint near where we are playing, or at least close by where we can run extension cords.
Q - We're unsure about drums, our venue has sound restrictions and we don't want a loud band.
A - We are VERY accustomed to soft venues. Aside from playing soft, our drummer has an optional electronic kit that can be set at a very low volume so as not to intrude on your night.
