01The nights

Three kinds of night, one band that reads the room. Pick yours for the detail, the FAQs and the run of the night.

  1. 01WeddingsFirst dance to last songThe full five-piece band for your reception and a packed dance floor. Want music for the ceremony and canapés too? We can add an acoustic duo or trio.
  2. 02Corporate eventsGala to Christmas partyGalas, awards nights, Christmas parties and launches. Tasteful through dinner, flat out once the speeches wrap, and on every cue your MC calls.
  3. 03Private functionsBackyard to function centreMilestone birthdays, engagements, anniversaries, festivals. Tell us the guest of honour's era and we'll build the night around it.

02The rig

The music never stops

We turn up with everything a room needs to feel like a gig. When we take a break, the playlist takes over, so the floor never goes cold.

    Our own professional system. Comfortably fills a room, or an outdoor crowd of around 400, with no extra hire.

    Stage lighting

    We bring the lighting rig too, so the room looks like a gig and not a function.

  • 03

    Wireless mics

    Radio mics for speeches, toasts, the celebrant and your MC. Handled.

  • 04

    Background music

    We can play your playlist through our system, or provide suitable background music for any part of the event.

        Heard from the floor

        • Wedding

          “They did an incredible job at our wedding from learning specific songs for our ceremony, creating chill vibes for our canapés, and getting the entire wedding on the dance floor.”

          Adam & HarrietWedding, Kauri Bay Boomrock

        • Corporate

          “It was good to see a band actually work a crowd and leave them screaming for more, great to work with you and the boys.”

          Frankie StevensAvenue Entertainment

        • Private function

          “Within a few minutes, people jumped onto the dance floor and the party just went on from there...everyone ABSOLUTELY LOVED them!”
