Your Old Mix Tapes Reincarnated!

No Where do I start? Latent Defect is like the best mix tape personified. One minute they’re in chill mode singing Bob Seger, Fleetwood Mac, Sheryl Crow, and the next minute they’re melting your face perfecting AC/DC to the back drop of the thunderstorm that is Doug Wallace on drums. So many, “wait, did they just do that?” moments. Belting out Paramore, Foo Fighters, and Heart… yes HEART! “Crazy on you”, one of the toughest vocals to cover, but Kelli NAILED it. Super talented group, and so much fun. If you haven’t seen them, you’re missing out.

These are some amazing musicians!

I saw them preform at Viva Vienna and they had excellent singing and production. Although it was rained out, the songs that they played sounded great.

Influences and inspiration

Our band members are from varied and unique backgrounds and cover a wide age span. We play a little bit of everything, from classic rock and country influenced rock to heavier rock and pop. Since several of us are Gen X, we love the 80's!

Setup requirements

We can work with any situation. We prefer it when a PA system and sound engineer are provided, but can take care our own sound if needed.
