Great Band

If I could give 10 stars I would. One of the best bands around. They’ve been playing for me approximately 31/2-4 years. Everyone of them are extremely talented & when all 5 are together they’re fantastic. The Java Llama’s have become one of my all time favorite bands & also great friends

Hired as: 1980s Era Entertainment

What to expect

You can expect some good time 80's Top 40 music performed by a seasoned group of musicians. We pride ourselves on big harmonies, a diversity of instruments, and good times. We usually play 3 hours, but we can do more or less as your situation may entail.

About

We love the 80's! The Java Llamas are an 80's Top 40 cover band (Some say 80's Tribute band) that enjoys the fun music from this classic era. We are all from the Ellis County area and have been playing together for nearly 5 years now.
You can expect your favorites from bands like: Prince and the Revolutions, Cindi Lauper, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Joan Jett, INXS, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Journey, Phil Collins, and so many more. The one hit wonders from this era were some of the BEST and we cover that too!

Tech stuff: In general, we plan to play 3 sets (at about 1 hour each) giving you 3 hours of music entertainment. We can provide the sound equipment, or we can use your PA system if that is something you plan to provide. We do not currently have a light show.

We are capable of scaling our sound to the size of your space. We play large stages, small stages, and even wine bar sized settings. If you like 80 music, you're going to love the Java Llamas.

Additional booking notes

We can bring our own PA and equipment. We don't have a light show, but if you provide one, we'd be psyched about it! You just provide a stage or some floor space and we'll do our thing!
