Dangerous Goods

Dangerous goods is a safe bet for great live entertainment! Not dangerous in that regard.

We are affordable, versatile, able to travel (within reason) and can fit our show into cozy performance spaces when required.

We carry our own pro sound and lighting gear that accommodates most venues nicely. Great sound at the right volume, no setup muss or fuss. We always include DJ music before/between live sets if you like, and the use of our mics for your pre-show speeches or presentations.

For venues with house sound, or larger events with 3rd party production techs, we are exceptionally easy to work with to get a great mix for FOH quick and easily. Stage plot available.

We are experienced pros and take pride in quality and the value we deliver. We are always friendly and easy to deal with too, it helps that we are truly into music for the fun of it.

Since the 90's we have performed hundreds of successful shows. Parties, rallies, fundraisers, parades, Stampede breakfasts, bars, pubs, weddings and corporate events of all kinds.

We are a straightforward rock trio (drum kit, bass, guitar) and all three of us sing lead/harmony vocals.

YES indeed, we can bring our own mics, speakers, mixers, lights - everything! In addition to our stage gear, amps, mics and instruments, we own and operate a high-end pro mobile live sound system that works great in venues scaling all the way up to 400-500 guests. We take pride in the quality of our self-produced sound!

All we require from our clients in advance is clear communication and details on the venue to ensure we bring the most appropriate gear, and that we have enough space to set up our band with access to standard AC outlets for electricity.

Our PA and lighting can be scaled down for small private parties or tiny neighborhood pubs. We have played some great shows with excellent sound in surprisingly small spaces! Still, some rooms are TOO small, not only for setup space, but in terms of minimum volume level. We are good at managing volume, but a band with a real acoustic drum kit and electric guitars has a limit to how low the volume can be.

Our FOH PA (QSC 2-way KW series) can easily fill larger venues and halls up to 400-500 guests with excellent sound. We can also work easily with 3rd-party show production providers to do shows of any size or scale.

Weather is always unpredictable, so outdoor events MUST have a covered stage area large enough to shelter us and all our gear. Elevated stage is ideal, but at minimum we absolutely need a surface other than grass or dirt. We prefer not to be electrocuted, or drag thousands of dollars worth of gear through the mud!
