Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs as well as a simple lighting rig.
We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue, although we are not a particularly loud band and have good control over our sound.
Not typically, but we have local contacts we can work with on request.
Our most fun gig was probably at the Pour House in Ringwood. Even though it was incredibly hot, we had a great time, and it was very nice to see everyone dancing, especially in our second set which is a bit more lively.
Because we are a six piece, we bring a lot of influences to the table, but our collective favourite artist is probably either the B52's or the Stone Roses, and the scenes that spawned those bands.
Our lead singer Ruth sang professionally for ten years as the leader of Scarlet Swing. Our other main singer Ben has been recording and releasing original music for many years, and has been played on national radio. Most of the band were friends already, but the band started through a stranger's Facebook ad.
We love playing and entertaining people anywhere, but somewhere with a crowd that's up for some dancing is what we like best.
2 x 45 minute sets.
Setup/soundcheck time with full PA is 1 hour.
We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.
We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 5 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.
Previous customers would describe us as a high energy group that loves to get the audience on their feet dancing. They would also say that we make some bold choices as a band, but that we pull them off!
