"These guys from New York were all they were cracked up to be. Their performance on the Will Rogers Stage in Tulsa on Sept. 8, 2024, was superb. This was the closest thing to being at an original Queen Concert starring founder Freddie Mercury, with a comparison in real time offered by the archival video footage of Freddie projected on a large screen behind the drummer while our re-enactment "Freddie" performed in synch with the video. Stefan Thomas has an uncanny resemblance to the late Freddie, especially in costumes and makeup, and his moves were perfect. Our audience loved the concert. I've seen other Queen tributes, and this was by far the best. We thoroughly enjoyed hosting this group. They were a lot of fun to work with and were gentlemen, all very professional and talented. - President and Producer, Will Rogers Stage Foundation."

"Lucy and I only just returned from holiday last night and are now getting round to say our thanks to everyone. From both of us, we just wanted to say what a fantastic evening’s entertainment you guys provided. We, and our guests, couldn’t have asked for a better time. I loved how you interacted with the crowd and how every song was on the money and kept guests up on the dance floor all night from the very start (which doesn’t always happen!). Thank you also for the ease of communication in the run up to the night. Sonicstars are the no1 party band!"

"The trumpet call beckoning everyone to the dance floor for the cake / first dance was an extra special touch. They were funny, played all the 90s and 80s hits and the garage medley was as good as we’d hope. Everyone loved them, had so many comments and one guy wants to book them for his son’s wedding! Thank you so much for being accommodating, but just brilliant!"

"The Rock Hunters are not a music band, they are the music band. They are that band that will dance with the bride and the guests, they are that band that gets the elderly out of their seats, they are the band not a band. Thank you so Much for everything!"

"We decided very early on in the planning of our big day that it was going to be a festival-themed wedding. That meant that the band, or effectively headline act, needed to exude a number of qualities, including an extensive repertoire, a strong sound and most of all the ability to entertain a tipi full of revellers. When we came across the Supercharger they seemed to embody all the characteristics we were looking for in a band, and more. Needless to say we booked them straight away. Leading up to the day of our nuptials, the band were easily contactable and always pleasant in their dealings with us, making themselves available through email, text message and phone call. This is something that can’t be overlooked, as when you are planning a wedding you need to know everything is going to run smoothly. The band were happy to answer any of our questions and even offered some suggestions to the running order of the day which were appreciated and taken onboard. Which leads us to the day itself and they did not disappoint at all. From the moment they hit the stage they were of the highest calibre, packing out the dancefloor and interacting with the crowd between songs. They played songs from various genres and decades and each one was well received and played as the original artist intended. In fact at times it was hard to differentiate between the original recording and the Supercharger version, which is a level of perfectionism that can’t be faulted. Having a good mix of music at an event like a wedding is key due to the range of ages and tastes in attendance and all of our guests got involved on the dancefloor. So good were the band in fact that one of our guests, renowned for never having a boogie, even dangled his toe over the edge of the dancefloor in appreciation of their talent. We picked out a few songs prior to the wedding which we knew we wanted the band to play and each of these was delivered with sonic precision. The rest of the set the ‘jets chose themselves and every classic they belted out went down better than the last. From the Beatles to Queen, the Kinks to Guns N Roses, everything sounded fantastic. We had a Marryoke filmed on the day of the wedding and the band were only too happy to play Huey Lewis and the News’ ‘Power Of Love’ early on in their set. As the guests had been singing it all day it proved to be very popular and the rendition was spot on! Both my wife and I are keen Nirvana fans and we mentioned to the band prior to the wedding that we wouldn’t mind them playing ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ but to obviously use their own gauge as to whether or not they felt it might go down well, after all we didn’t want to alienate those in attendance who didn’t appreciate the rockier side of music. We needn’t have worried however, they played it as their last song and it went down a storm, filling the dancefloor more than any other song and not just those with a penchant for heavier guitar based tunes. Dancing with our parents to Nirvana on our wedding day is a memory we will treasure forever. If you are looking for a band that are talented, professional and most of all can fill a dancefloor then look no further, the Supercharger are awesome! In the days following our wedding we were bombarded with comments about how amazing the band were and there was no argument from us, the Supercharger made the best day of our lives even more special. Thanks again, guys!"

"The Knots are an amazing band, and toughly enjoyed every minute they played at our wedding. I would highly recommend them for anyone who needs an awesome band for any event. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and they were an absolute please to deal with. They are very professional, and cannot thank them enough for everything."

"Just to say what a stonking band you are! Brilliant. Last night my wife & I went to Lyndsey's bash at Chichester Marina and enjoyed it immensely helped in no small way by the brilliant music. Didn't want it to stop, but by the perspiration on stage I think you've given your all.....and that's good. My personal highlight was Bonnie Tyler's 'Total Eclipse', What a sound, and what a singer Jennie is! But great sounds kept on coming. The choice throughout was just right for the night and we came away with a buzz. More power to your elbow. Thanks. Will be following you!!"

The setlist was diverse, catering to different musical tastes, and each song was performed with passion and skill. The band members are professional, talented, and clearly love what they do. Whether you're looking for live music for an event or just want to enjoy a fantastic performance, Playing Live Band is a top choice. Highly recommended!"

"We worked with Klinsmann as a band for the very first time and I could say that they were absolutely perfect. They catered to our event set-up and theme, we also had a couple of video calls to go through details and they gave us a couple of ideas to make our event a success. I`m super thrilled that we chose them as our entertainment for the night, they played different styles of music with their own original twist. Must say, the Vocals are SPOT ON!!! and the band is tight being a musician myself. Definitely worth booking!"

"songsNews “10 Bourbon Street”: an album that transports us to New Orleans, under the command of Catfish-Howl “10 Bourbon Street” springs from the blues fountain in New Orleans. We have ten songs that are a delight. Here the instrumental presentation is a lesson in dynamics and rhythm, which Catfish-Howl delivers, for our enjoyment. The New Hampshire band rocks the percussion and upbeat, colorful vocals to win our hearts. “My Baby Has Me”, “Cajun Girl” are songs that already give us an idea of ​​what we will see in this collection: they exalt love and, of course, women. A perfect sound to dance and enjoy that atmosphere of undeniable romance, which they pour into the air. The accordion is a star: it's in every melody, every beat, and there's no lack of commitment to participate with excitement, even when the guitar presents its fingerings. For those who love this mix of brass, strings, percussion and vocals that drink from the blues waters, this work is perfect. There is a reinterpretation of “Tupelo Honey”, by Van Morrison, which we need to highlight, for the proposed emotion, and the vocal delicacy involved, which is surprising. “My Maryann” takes us to New Orleans, without having to go there! You may be in Australia, where music transports your energy as if by magic. Catfish-Howl puts us in a wonderful ball to wear out our feet and exhaust our strength, as it's impossible to sit still listening to "10 Bourbon Street." The blues magic really is irresistible. Listen and enjoy."

"We had Wrecking Crew Express perform at our house for a B-Day party on Saturday. They blew us away with how awesome they are as singers and musicians. The three lead singers were fabulous. Gary was so easy to work with and organized everything for us. We had a crowd of about 60 people. Everyone I talked to was blown away at the quality of the music. Strongly recommend!

"A+++++ across the board. I'm not even sure if that's enough pluses to describe how fantastic The Breakfast Club was last night. Every single guest at our party couldn't believe how fun, how talented, how straight-up amazing they were. They're not just fantastic musicians, but these guys put on a *show*, and get people up, dancing, singing -- just phenomenal. And from a party-host point of view, I have to say that the level of communication and professionalism was stellar, across the board. I dealt with a lot of vendors for this party, and I wish they were all like Chaz and The Breakfast Club. Would hire them again TOMORROW, in a heartbeat."
