Review Centre: Rock 'n' Roll Bands

"We hired Herding Kats for my husbands 40th. From the start of the booking process the communication was phenomenal! Gary kept in constant contact and made sure everything was what we wanted! The band turned up with so much equipment, the set up was incredible! The band was super interactive and had all our guests not only up and dancing but on the stage singing and playing with the band! We absolutely loved the energy and all our guests said how amazing they were! I would highly recommend for any occasion and we will be booking with herding kats again!! Thank you for making my husbands birthday a real special night!!"

"Matt opened the music for our combined birthday celebration with a great selection of songs that got everyone up on their feet and set the tone for the rest of the evening. Wouldn’t have any hesitation in recommending him, excellent fun!"

"Ian P. Woodbury I’ve been serenaded AND stirred by THE ROCKITS twice in 2022, since being introduced to them only recently. I made a pledge to myself, in the mirror, to go and listen to them whenever I need to satisfy my audio addiction for exceptionally performed, hard driving Rock n Roll. As a guy who has been playing guitar, and singing for an audience since 1956, I continuously need to have my appetite satiated with Good Ol’ Rock n Roll. The Rockits satisfy my need quite satisfactorily! Thank You Very Much! The Rockits share the top shelf of the D.C. Area bands, with only a few other bands up there with them. There is no better party band than The Rockits. The band is well-rehearsed, instrumentally and vocally tight, and they really know how to keep the good vibes topped off at FULL, without losing the personal touch with their audience. Everyone in the band is a seasoned musician, sings very well, and harmonizes on key. But…the vocal standout is Robin Brown, the female vocalist. Robin should be known by everyone in the D. C. Metro Area, who enjoys hip Shakin’ Rock n Roll. ROBIN IS THAT GOOD! She commands the stage, like a Queen, but she is never domineering. She does not try to draw undue attention to herself, but knows her position on stage, as an integral part of a smoothly wild ensemble. She shares the M.C. duties with the band’s leader, Peter Grattan, who is a fine drummer, but in The Rockits, he is a triple threat on keyboards, guitar, and vocals. All the instrumentalists are in the top echelon of local talent, each attuned to his role in the overall mix, and they all shine in their spots. If you want a really satisfying Good Time of listening and dancing, there is no better band, who can lift you higher, than The Rockits. Going out to get your Rock n Roll fix with The Rockets is an evening well-spent. "

Thank you so very much Ian. We strive to give the best performance possible and it is people like you that make it all worth while. Having been 'Rockits' for over ten years, we appreciate every gig we get, every booking is unique, and having played a 3 year 6 nite a week residency at one of New Zealand's top hotels in my twenties, I know how important it is to 'entertain.' My experience as TVNZ's Head Of Entertainment Production for three years also has given me the experience needed to become an all round entertainer. Years of touring the world on cruise ships, recording four records for CBS and years in London have helped, so that our repertoire of 1000 songs spans sixty years and encompasses the best of the Rock 'n Roll era. Your heart felt review means so much! -Peter G Grattan (band leader)

"Thanks, again, for agreeing to play for our party. We greatly appreciate your willingness to do so, especially considering the effort and time involved for you and the rest of the band members to travel, set up, tear down, etc. Thanks, too, for going along with our surprise wedding secret, putting "Wabash Cannonball" on a playlist & playing it for us, and last but not least, for allowing our friend, Tad, to sing a couple songs with you. You were, as I hope you felt, a huge hit! People have been talking around town all week about how great you sounded, how truly talented all of you are, what a fantastic playlist you have, etc. I hope we can find a reason to have you back and that you'd consider coming. Thanks, once, again, for everything! We couldn't be any happier than we are with our choice of bands and your performance."

"I went to a BigBandeoke event in Manchester and it was the best concert I've ever been to! The fact that my friends and I were up on stage singing with them was incredible, the energy was constant throughout the night and they clearly know how to work a crowd. Everyone was so involved and the band were so good! I will definitely be going again and would recommend them to anyone wanting a band for their event!!"

"4 part harmonies? Really? In a local classic rock cover band?? Technically about as clean a sound as I've heard. They're pretty particular! "
