DANCE BAND
Hit Squad. They play a bit of everything and everyone in the band sings. I call this band the "Live DJ" because they know so many songs. They are one of Disneylands top performing bands, so they're very professional and concerned with maintaining their high quality of work ethics. They're well groomed, on time, don't drink, stay on schedule, and comfortable working for all ages, families too. They can play every style of music, even country. They can take requests, will learn a song for you, can perform light Emcee duties, and know how to interact with a crowd to make the event a party.

The following will give you an idea of what they can offer you:

Typically, we start en evening with what we call "dinner music". Low key - easy listening - jazzy stuff. Some songs would be: Breezin' (George Benson) How Sweet It Is, Nora Jones, a few standards like Fly Me to the Moon.

Second set we move-it-up a knotch with recognizable R&B & classic songs like "Heard It Through the Grapevine" ,"It's Alright to Have a Good time", "Don't Be Cruel", "Groovin'", Layla...

*rd and *th sets we'll bump it up to dance music with Classic oldies, R&B, Disco, Pretty Woman-Brown Eyed Girl-Love the One Your With-Get Down Tonight, Mustang Sally, Dancin' In the Streets, Heatwave, Jump Jive and Wail, Play that Funky Music, Santana, Beatles, Disco, Pop, Latin... music to dance to/upbeat party music.

LATIN BRAZILIAN BAND

She sings with the flair of her South American roots. Her voice is expressive, sultry and soothing. Salsa rhythms, Peruvian waltzes, Afro-Peruvian and Brazilian music influence in her native Lima. In live presentations she sings Brazilian Jazz, Samba, Salsa, Merengue, Bolero, Cumbia, Gypsy Rumba and Afro- Brazilian music. Alessa sings in Portuguese, English and Spanish languages. They have performed at the Hollywood Palladium with Afro-Brazil at the annual carnival night. Also appeared with "Viver Brazil" at the Hollywood Bowl for the opening season of summer concerts at the bowl with Carlinhos Brown as the headliner. Alessa also made a guest appearance at Le Blue Note in Paris-France with Nazare Pereira.
During "Carnaval ****", in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Alessa performed at the "Museum of Image and Sound" with Caixa Preta and with Unidos do Mundo (escola de samba) at the LAPA's carnival concert. Alessa and her **-piece band played for the "Veranazo ****" concert VIP party at the Gene Autry Museum.

U* TRIBUTE BAND

It's no easy gig being a tribute band, particularly when your inspiration is U*. Not only are they one of the highest profile bands on earth, but their legendary musical ability, passion and vitality are an integral part of the complete package. For a tribute band, this means you have to look right, you must do justice to some of the finest rock music ever written and you have to capture and transmit that indefinable energy that fuels U*.

Having toured extensively through over ** countries,including many shows for the U.S. Department of Defense, this U* Tribute band is here in the United States.

About the show: This * hour extravaganza covering all stages of the bands career from "Boy'" to "All that you can't leave behind", opens as we are whisked back in time to the ZOO TV tour. The leather trousers, the huge Fly shades, and, just as essentially, the tongue in cheek 'Dadaesque' Bono. In the first hour-long segment we are treated to all the highlights of the Zooropa tour as well as the cream of U*'s earlier hits.

Part two sees the four re-emerge on-stage in the guise of today's Elevation era U*. As well as songs from the current album, we get a series of 'classics' that have wowed audiences the world-over for years. After another hour of blistering performance the Boys leave the stage to the strains of the elated crowd singing "How long to sing this song?" from the anthem "**".

Corporate entertainment and wedding bands require the most professional entertainers. Let us select the band to make your event a party to remember. Dial M For Music!
