We will bring a full production set up including sound system and mic for speeches, however will need a couple of things from you:
1. A clear space to set up the band: For a duo we can utilise a smaller space approx 2m x 2m and for a full band we would need an area approx 5m x 5m.
2. Access to a power source close to the band set up: When you are thinking about the area you want us to play just make sure there is power no more than 5 metres away from the stage.
3. The stage is undercover: Please make sure that stage area you choose is undercover to ensure that our equipment is kept safe from wet weather if it rains. If the stage is not undercover, you will need to confirm a wet weather plan at the time of booking.

LET US KNOW YOUR VISION FOR MUSIC
The above setlists are examples of what I can do for your event and are subject to change based on each client's brief.
If you are after the BEST party band in Brisbane, our 5-piece format is the way to go. This line up includes vocals, guitar, bass, keys and drums. If you are after something that little bit more spectacular we can add horn instruments, such as saxophone and/or trumpet. If you are on the hunt for something more simple and laid back, we offer a duo format with guitar and vocals or keys and vocals.
The cost of a band varies on a few factors: total call out time at your event, hours of music played, how much production (sound and lighting) is required and travel. Send us a brief with as much detail as you have and we can help fill in the blanks to give you a competitive quote.
