We bring high energy, sing along, dance along and catchy songs. You wanna headbang to some 80s hair metal? We'll Rock You Like a Hurricane. You wanna get groovy and swing your hips to some 70s funk? We've got brick houses for ya. You wanna headbang and possibly even mosh pit? We got Rage Against the Machine for ya. Ya wanna line dance? We got modern country like Shaboozey and Morgan Wallen for ya. Again, there isn't a genre we won't play.
We emerged from the primordial ooze of the Phoenix open mic scene in 2021, forming a rock and roll cover band playing groovy hits from the 60s to today, dubbing ourselves The PhilosoRaptors. There have been some variations to the band over the years (different names and members), but the core 5 of us have been together for 2 years.
We have a special place in our hearts for El Dorado Bar and Grill in South Scottsdale, and the QuartHaus in Downtown Chandler. They were the first 2 bars that booked us in 2022, and we’ve been consistently playing at their establishments 4-8 times a year ever since.
As we grew as a band, we got the privilege of getting with a local booking agency called Paragon. This past year we’ve had the honor of bringing our vibes to additional cities and venues across the valley, small and large, such as Lucky’s Downtown Phoenix, OHSO in Gilbert and the Hilton BLVD Kitchen in Old Town Scottsdale.
We've played parties and weddings as well over the years. There isn't a genre we won't play. We're best known for our 90s rock, but we throw down on Bruno Mars, The Beatles, Bon Jovi and Nickelback, to name a few.
We have all the equipment we need to bring a show to wherever you need it. Small or large venue, we have it covered.
