We had the Retroactive band play a 4 hour private event - they provided an awesome main feature to a great party! Dave and the band are so professional - their play-list is a perfect grouping of well known songs that energize the guests and got folks up dancing, interacting and having a blast!... The band members are highly skilled musicians and Colleen on lead vocals is amazing - Myself and all the guests were blown away by their performance. I would highly recommend having Retroactive play your next event or whatever venue.. they will not disappoint!
My siblings and I recently hired Retroactive Band for our parent's surprise 50th Anniversary Party. 5 stars isn't enough for this band - they are fantastic!! They truly MADE the party ... my dad even said they were "the best band he's ever seen." Dave was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process and the entire band was personable and engaging all evening. We can't wait to see them play again sometime!
Our guests at Camp Cedar loved This band!
We will have them back in the future for sure! They played at a Halloween party out doors and it was very windy and cold. They were great about the weather and played even though they were a bit cold. The music was great, I could not have been more pleased! The lead singer was a sweet heart, she judged the costume contest, she interacted with our guest, took pictures with them, and just made them feel as if they were part of the show too! 5 stars, everyone was so kind and professional, we can't wait to have them back when the weather is nice and warm!
David was so easy to deal with from the start and to the finish, 1st phone call, confirmation and the show. Music was great and their clean-up was perfect. Real Professional. Hire this band!
This band has played at our Country Club many times- they are a Club Favorite! They play a wide variety of music and have a great energy. The lead singer can SING! She is incredible. We will definitely have them back!
