Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

We would prefer a minimum performance space of 16 x 8 feet. We need 2 x 15 amp outlets (or at least 1 x 20 amp outlet) and 5-6 parking spaces.


What information do you require about a venue?

We need to know the details for loading in and out. If we are providing the PA, we will need a minimum of 2 hours set-up time- particularly if loading in is difficult or conflicts with other activities in the venue space.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

If you provide a sound person and PA system, we can provide our own monitor mix/set-up. We use a stage snake splitter for our needs and yours. We can provide our own PA and sound guy as well as some lighting if needed.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

We typically play similar music from playlists on an mp3 device at a lower volume during breaks (when we provide the PA).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Under the name "The Old Barbarians", we played the Hawg Pen private party for years at the American Royal World Series of BBQ; winning "Party of the Year" honors the very first year we played. We've also played on the main stage at that competition.


What's your favourite type of event?

All events are great, but we're happiest when people get up and dance!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

The current crew has played in Kansas City area cover and original bands for decades.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

We love us some edgy alternative rock.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

If we're providing the PA, we will need at least 2 hours prior to the performance to set up. If sound is provided by the venue, we can tighten that up. Our sets typically run from 45 to 60 minutes, but we can adjust that to suit the event or venue.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We can perform outside but will need to consider the setting, shade/shelter due to weather, power requirements, etc.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We have polished up a number of songs and tend to stick to the set list for smooth transitions, but if we already know a song, we will try to accommodate any requests.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

We've always had great responses from our audiences. When they dance, we're giving them what they want. Occasionally we'll have the older members of the audience say they wished the show had started earlier.. and then something about their bedtime. :)
