We will work closely with the client throughout every stage of the planning process so that the event will run as smoothly as possible. We are available by e-mail and phone, and will respond to any requests and accommodations in a timely fashion. We pride ourselves on our professionalism and efficiency.
The client can expect to hear any songs from our repertoire list, and potentially more, as we are constantly adding new material. We also can try and accommodate any special requests, but this will be discussed more with the client, and may be dependent on the time frame of the event.
We are a cover band that has been playing together for 2 years. We play for parties, coffee shops, and bars around the greater Houston area. While we are a cover band, we have a unique sound that is all our own. Each song is influenced by our varied musical backgrounds, whether it be the classical, woody tones of the violin layered onto a rock song by The Clash, or the synthetic beats of a keyboard chiming in with an electric guitar. We are always trying to expand our collective musicianship by branching out into new and different avenues, but still seek to pay tribute and emulate the sound of the classic rock legends.
Just some of our varied repertoire includes:
Come on Eileen, Love Removal Machine, Psycho Killer, Jenny ((phone number hidden)), Should I Stay or Should I Go, Pumped up Kicks, Land Down Under, In Bloom, Mr. E's Beautiful Blues, Walk Like an Egyptian, And She Was, Just Like Heaven, Float On, Wreck Me, Sedated, Big Me, 500 Miles, Where's my Mind, Hey Jealousy, Friday I'm in Love, Just What I Needed, American Girl, Comfort Eagle, and Last Night. We additionally take requests (can be discussed with the client).
We provide all our own sound equipment and instruments. You plan the party and we bring the fun!

Anything from the 80's up to 2013 and beyond! Our main influence is Classic Rock, but we also incorporate sounds from the 90's "Grunge" era, folk, pop, and since this is Texas after all, a little country too.
