Feebee Kates
Overview
Born from the era of mixtapes, garage jams, MTV, and late-night radio, Feebee Kates is a Gen X indie rock band dedicated to keeping the spirit of alternative music alive. With a sound rooted in the raw energy of the 1980s and 1990s underground, the band brings a fresh edge and pays homage to the classic alt-rock catalog that shaped a generation.
Their setlist is a love letter to the trailblazers—echoing the jangly guitars of ‘80s college rock, the grit of grunge, and the quirky hooks of ‘90s indie favorites.
On stage, the band delivers more than nostalgia—they create a shared experience, bridging generations through the songs that defined the alternative revolution.

What a great 50th birthday party! Good food, good friends, good location, and the Feebee Kates were truly the icing on the cake.
Our party was at the beach, with plenty of room for the band to set up. Once they started playing, the crowd gathered and got into the Feebee Kates’ first set of great ‘80s music (INXS, The Cure, The Beat, REM…), dancing to the beats and sometimes singing along. They really provided such a happy boost to the party.
During the break before their second set, the band checked in to ensure the sound was good and if there was anything that needed to be changed or added. But everything they were doing was close to perfect already.
After their break, the Feebee Kates returned with a healthy dose of a bit more rocky ‘90s music, with some covers of Smashing Pumpkins, Blur, Pavement, and more. They had an equally great performance for their second set. It got people up and moving again.
The two sets that the Feebee Kates played were just right for our party. The band was professional, yet easy to talk to and fun. All of the partygoers were happy with the band and many asked where we found them and how to go about booking them.
The whole experience was very pleasant. The band brought what they said they would and more. I am so happy that we booked the Feebee Kates for my 50th birthday party. We will definitely look to book them again in the future.

About
Feebee Kates is a 4-piece ‘80s / 90's Alternative Rock’ cover band from Long Beach and OC, CA. The band formed in late 2023 from a collection of guitar wielding and drum beating educators who met through playing variously in each other's bands at one time or another and who all just couldn't get enough of The Cure, The Smiths, and Echo and the Bunnymen. Their unique brand of entertainment fuses a tight rhythm section with soaring vocals and wailing guitars with a commanding stage presence and unexpected yet familiar covers that will make you want to dig out your old mixtapes.
Feebee Kates has many years of professional playing (and recording) collective experience and have even performed at the iconic Orange County Fair in their short time together.
Feebee Kates are currently accepting bookings and would be thrilled to be the life of your next party. For more info or to book, visit the band's website at (link hidden) or get in touch via Instagram (@feebeekates2024).

Influences and inspiration
Feebee Kates is influenced by the great alternative acts of the 80's and 90's. We grew up listening to bands like The Cure, The Smiths, The Replacements, Echo and the Bunnymen, U2, The Church, The Talking Heads, REM, Tears for Fears, The Cult, Radiohead, Blur, and Ride. We would love to perform some of these alternative hits for you!
Setup requirements
We need an open space to set up our equipment. We have our own PA System and a solar generator so we can perform live anywhere. We also have a small lighting setup that is decorative and makes the show fun.
