About the band

We're a live soul band based in Perth, Western Australia.

We run as a 10-piece band with 2 singers, 4-piece rhythm section, and a 4-piece horn section.

From laid-back grooves perfect for sitting back at cocktail hour to high-energy funk and disco for dancing the night away, we can bring the good-time vibes and big soul sound.

WHERE WE PLAY

We've performed at The Ellington Jazz Club, The Duke of George, corporate events at Optus Stadium and Crown, weddings at Nikola Estate and Margaret River wineries, city and regional music festivals, city-centre to surf clubs, breweries … and even back yards.

We're available for hire in the Perth metro area and regional WA.

Whatever your event—private, public, or corporate—if you're bringing the party, we'll bring the soul. 🎷

We play get-up-and-dance hits AND LAID BACK GROOVES

from ‘60s, ‘70s and modern soul.

Song request

Have a special song in mind? Let us

know, and we'll learn it to play live on

the night.

Things we'll need to talk about

Long event

If we need to arrive super early, stay super late, or have lots of down time between our sets (often happens with weddings!), we'll have to factor in how many hours we're there.

Big event

If it's a big budget event or we're the primary attraction, we'll talk about reflecting that in the price.

Travel costs

If your event is a long way from our base in Perth, we'll need to cover some travel costs.

Difficult access

We have a lot of gear, so if your venue has difficulties with access, we'll need to know.

On a budget? Get in touch and we'll see what we can do.

The worst that can happen is that we can't make it work.
