"Eric is a standout performer and well-organized band leader. Professional, kind, and adaptable, he seamlessly integrates into any musical setting. I recently had the pleasure of booking Eric for an event at a speakeasy in Oregon and he was a joy to work with. If you're seeking a reliable and versatile drummer who elevates every performance, look no further than Eric Ching."

"We listen to a lot of live music and Girl Friday are one of our favourite bands, Michelle and the boys are ultimate professionals, their music ranges from swing, to blues, Latin and they make a lot of popular music their own. We love doing their Friday night Sun Set Cruises Jazz cruise out of Mooloolaba and we often catch their Eat Street, Toowoomba and Warwick 'Jumpers and Jazz' gigs. Great band to listen and dance to!

"It’s quite possible to stroll right past the place while navigating West Kinzie Street, just a wee bit north of the Chicago River, and not even realize it. The only concrete clue that you’ve arrived at your destination is the sight of a black canvas entrance emblazoned with the curious moniker of the joint. It’s called Untitled, and that handle is purposely nondescript, only adding to the overall mystique of the nightspot. Head down a short flight of stairs, say hello to the doorman (there’s no cover), and you’ll find that Untitled offers a welcoming hideaway from the hustle and bustle of the Loop, which sits only a few blocks south on the other side of the river. During the Prohibition era, speakeasies dotted the Windy City landscape where those so inclined could quaff an alcoholic libation or two while securely hidden away from the long arm of the law. But those long-ago speaks were never this spacious or glamorously appointed. Make no mistake: this is a classy operation all the way, so you won’t spy any tennis shoes or sweatsuits sullying the polished dance floor. When the Rhythm Rockets take the stage at Untitled, as they’ve been doing on the second Wednesday evening of every month for a while now starting at 7:30 p.m. and going strong for three hours, the joint proceeds to jump to a barrage of eminently danceable rhythms. The music meshes perfectly with the delicious food and cool drinks that can be ordered by summoning your lovely waitress. You can dine on such delicacies as steak tartare, sea scallops, and mushroom tortellini, and top your feast off with a scrumptious slice of whoopee pie, a blend of dark chocolate-espresso cake, peanut butter mousse, and powdered sugar. There was a fair amount of dancing happening during the Rhythm Rockets’ most recent Untitled engagement, but most of the sizable crowd was content to soak in the swinging soiree at their tables or from their barstools. The sound quality was exceptionally crisp and full-bodied all night long; Dave Downer’s concise guitar licks sliced through the air with authority, and Nicole Kestler’s delightful vocals were mixed at precisely the right level for maximum enjoyment as she sailed through longtime Rhythm Rockets favorites that included Little Esther’s “Oo Papa Do,” the relaxed pre-war blues lament “Trouble In Mind,” and the band’s scorching arrangement of Ruth Brown’s “(Mama) He Treats Your Daughter Mean” that they often use as a set closer. The sizzling sax section (tenors Michael Bielecki and Vince Salerno and baritone Justin Kierans) was tight and right throughout the evening, and the rock-solid combination of bassist Lou Marini and drummer Mark Fornek kept the grooves hitting on all cylinders. Mark usually sings a song or two on each set prior to Nicole’s entrance, and now he’s previewing a few Chicago blues numbers that he’s also singing with Dave’s new side band, the Five Alibis. Vince switched over to harmonica to give Little Walter’s ominous “I Don’t Play” an authentic Chicago blues sound, although the horns returned when Mark launched into Junior Wells’ playful shuffle “The Things I’d Do For You.” If you’re anywhere near River North on the second Wednesday of this or any month in the near future, take a walk down Kinzie and seek out Untitled, even if you have to look hard for it. It’s altogether worth the effort--and a great place to check out the Rhythm Rockets doing what they do best! "

"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."
