"Are you ready for love at first bite?", asked vocalist Belladonna, alongside her equally frightening bandmates, Datura and Wolfsbane on lead guitars, Deadly Nightshade on bass and Violet Mandrakia on drums, all who had ventured out of their crypt tonight, to trick or treat us to some classic vampish covers. Van Halen's 'Runnin With The Devil' immediately gave Belladonna something to get her teeth into, as did Ozzy's 'Bark At The Moon', with an impressive dual guitar attack from the aptly named Wolfsbane and Datura, her poisonous partner in crime. Lead Guitarist Datura (aka Ezra) continued to flower, leading her undead pack on The Shangri-Las '(Remember) Walking In The Sand', before their "oldie, but a goodie", and Fleetwood Mac's, (Peter) 'Green Manalishi (With The Two Prong Crown). An eclectic list of classics continued with UFO's 'Doctor Doctor' and even Jefferson Airplane's 'White Rabbit' - both dispatched with frightening professional aplomb and a refreshing change from the standard covers that are churned out so often. "Any fans of Kiss?" asked MC Belladonna, cue 'I Was Made For Lovin' You', before another unusual stand-out, and a highlight for mine, Python Lee Jackson's (or Rod Stewart's for those of you that are a lot younger than me) 'In A Broken Dream'. Brilliant. The vampire banter continued, before Wolfsbane launched into the awesome opening riff of Metallica's 'Enter Sandman' (never tire of that one), although their vampish antics continued when they stopped during the intro of Blue Oyster Cult's 'Don't Fear The Reaper'. "What are we missing?" they asked. "More cowbell!" was the answer. Enter The Reaper (not The Sandman) on stage with trusty cowbell, although, seriously, this was another highlight of the set with great harmonies, spot on guitars plus some demon drumming from dear Violet. A special mention for the excellent Deadly Nightshade, who confided with me after the set that her bass guitar idol was indeed, the one and only Phil Lynott. Sadly, no Thin Lizzy in their set tonight, although from one girl band to another, The Vampirettes did salute The Runaways very own Joan Jett with 'I Hate Myself For Loving You' So pleased I wore my special edition Motorhead t-shirt on the night as they tore into Lemmy's 'Born To Raise Hell', with some more brilliant drumming from Ms. Mandrakia, before some 'Tainted Love', with Soft Cell's classic given the werewolf guitar treatment. And talking of Wolfsbane, "Lord" Alice Cooper's 'Poison' was the penultimate in the set, and despite pleads for "more", rather aptly Rainbow's 'Long Live Rock 'N' Roll', with a bit of audience participation and band intros, brought the night's proceedings to an end. A great set. Great content. Great musicians. Great fun. All in all a brilliant evening"

"OPOV is THE band to get your guests out of their seats and dancing. They absolutely nail bold covers like Prince, Bruno Mars, Tina Turner and more. They are such a sweet group of people, always ON TIME, and will make your day their priority. They are great at engaging the audience, and keeping the party going. We loved having them so much, we have booked them for other events since. You will definitely get your money worth- they set the party off!"

"HOCHZEIT Stanislava&Sebastian Wir hatten das große Glück, Martina mit ihrer Band im Quartett für unsere Hochzeitsfeier engagiert zu haben – und sie haben unsere Erwartungen in jeder Hinsicht übertroffen!Schon im Vorgespräch haben wir uns super aufgehoben gefühlt. Die Kommunikation war freundlich, unkompliziert und professionell – auf unsere Wünsche wurde individuell eingegangen. Am Tag selbst war die Band absolut zuverlässig und pünktlich – wir mussten uns um nichts kümmern.Das Repertoire war sehr vielseitig, und die Liederauswahl hat genau unseren Geschmack getroffen: ob entspannte Hintergrundmusik zum Abendessen oder energiegeladene Lieder zum Tanzen.Vielen, vielen Dank – ihr habt unsere Feier musikalisch toll begleitet! Absolute Empfehlung für alle, die auf der Suche nach einer verlässlichen, sehr talentierten und stimmungsvollen Hochzeitsband sind. Stanislava&Sebastian "

"Justina was incredible! I had her to perform at my 30th dinner party and she did not disappoint. Everyone commented on how amazing she was and after dinner everyone was up on there feet dancing and singing along. For me and my party her song choices were for everybody - my party ranged from 16-80 year olds and we all enjoyed all the music. Thank you for making my night so special. Justina was very professional she communicated with me always leading up to the event and even after, not just a great singer but also a lovely person. "

"The ChoZen Band was the highlight of our private wedding! Their energy, professionalism, and incredible talent created the perfect atmosphere from the first song to the last dance. They kept our guests on their feet all night with an amazing mix of R&B, soul, and classic hits, and even learned a special song just for our first dance. Communication was smooth, they arrived early for setup, and their sound quality was top-notch. We’ve had so many guests tell us it was the best wedding band they’ve ever heard. If you want a band that will make your celebration unforgettable, we can’t recommend The ChoZen Band enough!"

"Came to the bar accidently willing to watch a football game. Totally surprised by the musician with the welcoming music and the nice repertoire. Finally, we totally forgot the game due to musician's performance and the smooth atmosphere created! Definitely recommended 👌 "
