What suits your occasion? A quick overview of the differences...
Price- This is the first factor, our 4 piece live band is about 50% more in price than the duo. The solo act is the most economical, starting at $350 for 3 hours (any mileage extra)
A one-off wedding or corporate event where the song list is tailored to the occasion will be correspondingly dearer than regular repeat gigs.
Clubs and other public events subject to negotiation depending on distance and regularity. P.A. and full LED lighting rig included in price.
Performance time- Three to four hours performance time is the norm, usually 3 sets with a couple of small breaks.
Size- The solo act uses about 6 sq m, our duo takes up about 8 sq m floor area (2m deep, 4m wide), the band about 14 sq m minimum.
Song Choice- The solo and duo uses our custom midi tracks so has the widest range of songs in many genres and suits most age groups, the full band has a similar range but concentrates on classic and especially Kiwi rock- 70's to 90's predominantly, all completely live. For weddings and other special events, we can customise our setlist from your choices, or learn a first dance song.
Setup/Soundcheck time- The solo and duo can be set up in as little as 1/2 hour in the ideal venue with good access, the band is normally about 1 hr minimum.
Sound volume- The solo and duo can control sound level completely to the requested level, in the band situation a live drummer sets the overall volume, but we are still at a good level for all situations. Both line-ups use the Bose sound system which has a small footprint with excellent clarity and performance.
Overall- Our solo and duo offer a reasonable price with a wide range of songs, solo is keyboardist/singer with full backings. Duo is 2 vocalists with live guitar and keys, full backings.
Our band option (Drums, bass, guitar, keys and 3 vocalists), offers a fully live version which highlights the human element more, dynamics with addition of live bass and drums, therefore more adaptability to the event.
