We have shared your page on Gig Heaven with some of our guests and they will be contacting you!!"

You were awesome!!!! Jessica enjoyed meeting you and beatboxing with you." Based in Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region Micky Dower Photo of Call me Winston - The Tarantino tribute Call me Winston - The Tarantino tribute "The effectiveness of music in Quentin Tarantino's five films has much to do with the way he perceives music. Tarantino thinks that songs in general function as miniature films. He views music as a way to extend the plots of his films. The soundtrack has the responsibility not only of setting the tone of the scene, but also of bringing clarity to emotions that are not fully expressed by the characters. All of this works seamlessly because Tarantino hears the song first, then writes a scene around it. It is therefore not surprising that music has such a remarkable impact in his films. How does music affect the way we perceive Tarantino's films? It is true that all music will make the viewer react emotionally, but what matters to Tarantino is that, most of the time, music produces what he perceives as the "appropriate" emotional impact on a scene. For example, if something other than "Stuck in the Middle With You" had been chosen to accompany the "ear cutting" scene in Reservoir Dogs, the audience might never have known about Mr Blonde's sadistic tendencies. The key to Tarantino's success in avoiding music perceived as just "adequate" is that he writes all his film scripts with specific music in mind. By being determined in his selection, Tarantino ensures that the music of Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill Vol.1 and Kill Bill Vol. 2 plays an active role in the narrative structure of the film and, equally important, that it does something the audience will want to remember. These are the memories that the members of Call me Winston wish to bring back to the viewer. This "tribute band" orchestra newly created on the Côte d'Azur is unique in the South Region. With its 10 members, (singer, female singer, guitar, bass, drums, percussion, keyboards trumpet, alto saxophone, baritone saxophone), it will remind you of the best moments from Tarantino films through their soundtrack." Translated from French Based in Monte Carlo, Commune de Monaco, Monaco (8 miles from Nice) Chris Anderson Photo of Domassax Domassax "My boyfriend hired Domas to come surprised my family during happy hour one night of our vacation in Provence. Domas was super communicative - working with Jake to plan the setlist ahead of the event and coordinating logistics for the surprise - and the night blew everyone away! Domas is incredibly talented and kind, and we had so much fun dancing the night away! Thank you Domas for being the highlight of our trip!"

These guys are fantastic and the singer is incredible, I've never heard anything like it! Their music ranges from delicate jazz pieces to Latin rhythms, it's crazy!? I highly recommend."
